Dow Commentary



The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to close above its 200 day moving average this week. The index formed a “W” pattern on the daily chart. This bode well for the bulls. However, this pattern was formed on low volume, meaning that the market went up without the mass participation that is required to make a sustainable rally. It is likely that the market is moving up because of the lack of sellers rather than abundance of buyers.

The improvement in the market action is also shown in the daily phase. The phase chart has moved back to “Warning” phase from “Distribution” phase. This improvement cannot be taken as sign to buy into the market and investors looking to add to their positions should wait for a better entry point.
