Updated 3/29 for Tuesday's market.
Key DOW Levels for 3/30
UP Above 10,350
DN Below 10,200
Rally & Hold
Dow rallies at Open, holds firmly at resistance.
From prior commentary, "...Look for the index to continue to consolidate at the highs from around 10,175 to 10,275. Such a range would indicate a likely continuation toward the next resistance level at 10,325..."
The Dow got the upside break from the tight range early in the session today, which sparked a sharp push higher to the clear 10,325 resistance level, seen in the 15 and 60 Minute Charts. The index held at resistance throughout the session and looks poised to plow forward tomorrow.
Looking at the 15 Minute Chart shows that the Dow has begun to form another tight consolidation at the highs, which implies continued strength. An upside break through 10,350 will likely fuel such a move. Also, looking at the 60 Minute Chart shows that the Dow may be forming a higher low above 10,300. Look for a continuation should the index continue to hold above this level.
However, the index has formed a clear lower trend line beneath the lows of the recent advance, seen in the 15 Minute Chart. A downside break of the line at 10,300 will make for weakness tomorrow, while a break below 10,250 will indicate an even steeper decline.
Short Term Dow
Short term, the Dow is holding beneath the clear short term resistance level of 10,350, seen in the 1 and 5 Minute Charts. Look for weakness below this level unless an upside break of 10,350 is seen tomorrow morning.
Medium Term Dow
In the medium term, we entered the market Long today at 10,325, but stopped out at the entry due to the Breakeven Rule. We are out of the market and will watch 10,350 up, and 10,200 down, with 20 point stops.
NASDAQ & S&P
The NASDAQ and S&P each rallied alongside the Dow this morning and are now holding near the session highs. Look for a continuation pattern to form to indicate further strength tomorrow.*
Summary
The Dow rallied sharply at the Open, opening up a solid 117 point gain for the day. Look for the index to hold above 10,300 tomorrow, which would indicate continued strength in the medium term. Otherwise, a downside break here will cause a short term pull-back within the overall upmove.
