TREND ANALYSIS

The Dow is clearly stuck in a trading range where each break of a resistance trend line fails to trigger an assault on the 26,600 high. Furthermore until quite recently the risks to the Dow were on the downside. Which has improved since May when the Dow has been showing signs of leaving the sub 24k levels behind and thus implies is targeting a trend towards 26,600.

RESISTANCE : There is heavy over head resistance from 25,200 all the way to 25,800. Beyond which lies the all time high of 26,600.

SUPPORT is along a series of higher lows off of the April low of 23,300. With nearest support at 24,000 rising to 24,200.

TREND CHANNELS - There is an emerging trend channel along the 24,900 and 25,400 highs that gives the Dow a weak upward bias.

Overall trend analysis paints a picture of a market stuck in a trading range with an upward bias with no signs for an imminent breakout higher. With the immediate trend implying a marginal correction lower.

MACD - The MACD is fairly neutral, which similarly to trend analysis suggests that the Dow is in corrective mode implying an immediate term correction lower.

VIX - Since the early year stocks plunge the VIX has gradually become calmer with each passing correction which does appear to be laying the groundwork for an stock advance higher. So the Trade War does not appear to be worrying the stock market yet.
