Technical Analysis for Dow Jones Industrial Average

Bullish shaven head candlestick — first trading day of 2013
Bullish shaven head candlestick for the DJIA on the first trading day of 2013.

DJIA 6-Month Candlestick Chart

The tall bullish shaven head and shaven bottom candlestick is a graphical representation of the euphoria after a deal on the so-called fiscal cliff. It was excellent follow through for the bullish engulfing pattern of December 31. The market teetered at major support on December 27 and 28 when a deal was less than certain.

Technical analysis is all about assessing probabilities and there is a high probability that the Dow will test major resistance of 13,600. But there is a a lot of froth in this market as represented by the VIX and it can turn on a dime. The VIX has fallen 35.4 percent over the past two sessions, the biggest 2-day percentage drop in the history of the index. The next big news event is the employment report this Friday.

I would like to see the 10-Year U.S. Treasury close convincingly above 1.900% as confirmation that the Dow and S&P500 would have a chance to continue the near-term uptrend.

Some points to ponder from the above chart:

  • Tall bullish shaven head candlestick closes above resistance.
  • Now must hold above the resistance zone.
  • The resistance zone will be the new support zone — reversal of roles concept.
  • Volume must increase to sustain the intermediate uptrend.
  • OBV is not confirming the uptrend: this is a concern.
  • RSI is confirming the intermediate uptrend.
  • If the index holds above 1,425 then the intermediate target is 1,530.
