Dow Jones Futures Rally Into Resistance

The Dow Jones is currently up nearly $840(3.9%) to $21,785 after holding at the 23.6% Fib level upon futures market open last night. Price is currently testing the downtrend resistance line which for now is still acting as price resistance. This move comes as President Trump and VP Pence had an upbeat tone during Sunday evening’s press conference while touting declines in new cases and deaths reported out of New York and Italy which appears to be giving traders hope that the worst is over. Earlier in the weekend the next two weeks were referred to as our “Pearl Harbor” and “9/11” moment as the Surgeon General said to prepare for the worst in new cases and deaths in the U.S. Traders appear to still be trading from news headline to news headline rather than the big picture while ignoring the coming earnings apocalypse and what is expected to be another massive unemployment claims data release on Thursday. Futures markets have not been a good indication of what to expect during actual spot market trading lately so all eyes are on the Wall Street open and whether or not traders can push price above the downtrend resistance line and from there the 38.2% Fib level as those are the two key resistance levels that price needs to beat in order to break the bearish trend in price.
