Price Movement
The daily chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average exhibits a dynamic price movement over recent months. Initially, the index experienced a steady upward trajectory, forming a clear ascending channel, denoted by the green lines. This upward trend saw the index reach a peak before reversing as momentum slowed, entering a corrective phase. A pattern of higher highs and higher lows is evident until mid-November, when a shift in market sentiment led to a more pronounced downward movement. The chart now shows a series of lower highs and lower lows, indicating the emergence of a short-term downtrend, highlighted by the descending pink trendline. Overall, the market demonstrates a typical cycle of bullish advance followed by a bearish correction, with the current price hovering around potential support levels determined by Fibonacci retracement lines.

Traders should watch for potential support at key Fibonacci levels, where a reversal might take place. The MACD indicator showcases sustained bearish momentum, indicating that the downtrend may continue unless significant buying interest emerges. Attention to how the price interacts with the SMAs could provide further clarity on potential trend reversals.
