Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at 52,129.08 points and 52,129.04 points. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Trading Expectations (^DJI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Dow Jones Industrial Average to open at 52,368.16 points, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between 52,175.72 points and 52,794.34 points, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-618.63 points (+/-1.19%) 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 1.19% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at 52,552.97 points (0.13%) than the support at 51,876.11 points (1.16%), 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.
