The Dow Jones Industrial Average index price fell by -0.774% on the last day (Friday, 17th Jul 2026) from 52,552.97 points to 52,146.42 points. During the last trading day the index fluctuated 1.20% from a day low at 51,986.74 points to a day high of 52,610.97 points. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -1.42% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day by 15 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days. In total, 550 million shares were bought and sold for approximately 28.66 points trillion.

The index lies in the middle of a narrow and weak rising trend in the short term and a further rise within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the index is expected to rise 8.16% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between 55,787.29 points and 58,031.92 points at the end of this 3-month period.

^DJI Signals & Forecast

A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, July 06, 2026, and so far it has fallen -1.71%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the index should be followed more closely. Some positive signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Dow Jones Industrial Average index holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the index giving a positive forecast for the index. On further gains, the index will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately 52,498.48 points. On a fall, the index will find some support from the long-term average at approximately 51,774.60 points. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal.

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Dow Jones Industrial Average index

Dow Jones Industrial Average finds support from accumulated volume at 51,876.11 points and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (^DJI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 20th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 20th we expect Dow Jones Industrial Average to open at 52,248.04 points, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 51,863.64 points and 52,429.20 points, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-565.56 points (+/-1.09%) up or down from last closing price. If Dow Jones Industrial Average takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.09% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 52,182.74 points (0.07%) than the support at 51,876.11 points (0.52%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.

Is Dow Jones Industrial Average index A Buy?

We have upgraded our analysis conclusion for this index since the last evaluation from a Hold to a Buy candidate.

Current score: 1.273 Buy Candidate Upgraded
