E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – Primary Objective of Reversal is 30320
March E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading higher after recovering from an early session setback. The market opened lower on follow-through selling tied to last week’s steep decline that helped the blue chip average post its worst weekly performance since October.
After initially dropping more than 300 points on the opening, Dow futures turned around enough to post a 100 point gain. On Friday, stocks tumbled, with the three major indexes posting their worst week, and overall month, since October, as volatile trading in a number of heavily shorted companies such as GameStop and AMC Entertainment sparked worries of a bubble.
At 04:33 GMT, March E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading 29965, up 86 or +0.29%. This is up from a low of 29552.
Daily Swing Chart Technical Analysis
The main trend is down according to the daily swing chart. A trade through the intraday low at 29552 will signal a resumption of the downtrend. A trade through the next swing bottom at 29318 will reaffirm the downtrend. The main trend will change to up on a move through 31188.
The main range is 25872 to 31188. Taking out the main bottom at 29318 could trigger a further break into its retracement zone at 28530 to 27903.
The intermediate range is 29318 to 31188. Its retracement zone at 30032 to 30253 is the next upside target and potential resistance area. Since the main trend is down, sellers could come in on a test of this zone.
The short-term range is 31188 to 29552. Its retracement zone at 30320 to 30563 is another potential upside target. Once again sellers could come in on a test of this area. They will be trying to form a potentially bearish secondary lower top.
