Dow Jones Under Pressure as Bond Yields SurgeUS30 – Dow Jones Update The Dow Jones erased 250 points as September began with soaring bond yields, dragging stocks lower after the long weekend. Nasdaq was the session’s biggest loser despite showing pre-market strength. Technical Outlook: The index reached our support target at 44,950, exactly as projected yesterday. For now, price is expected to consolidate within the 45,285 – 45,110 zone before the next move. 🔼 A confirmed 4H close above 45,285 would support a bullish continuation toward 45,460 → 45,680. 🔻 Conversely, sustained trade below 45,110 would re-open the bearish path toward 44,950 → 44,720. Key Levels: Pivot: 45,285 Support: 45,110 – 44,950 – 44,720 Resistance: 45,460 – 45,680 – 45,860

Dow Jones Overextended: Watching for an Institutional Unwind 📊 Dow Jones (US30) remains bullish 🟢, but in my view, it’s looking overextended 📈. Price has traded into a key level 🎯 where we could see a potential pullback, especially as we approach the end of the week 📅, when institutions and big money 💼 may begin unwinding positions. 👀 The play here is to watch for the high of the week/day ⏫ and look for a counter-trend reversal 🔄 that could drive price lower into the weekly close 📉. ⚠️ Keep in mind: Monday’s opening often creates a stop run 🛑 possibly offering a deeper pullback, giving us a double dose of liquidity grabs 💧. This sets the stage for a fairly deep retracement, which could present an opportunity to counter trend short if conditions align 🧩. 📌 My focus is on a break below the current range 🔓 as a trigger for potential entry. ⚠️ This is for educational purposes only and not financial advice 📚

Will US30 Reach A New Record High After Today's NFP?Fundamental approach: - The Dow Jones Industrial Average (US30) rose this week amid cooling US labor signals that reinforced expectations for a Sep Fed rate cut, while upbeat ISM services activity tempered growth concerns. - ADP private payrolls slowed and jobless claims ticked higher, bolstering bets for easier policy ahead of today's NFP release. This kept risk appetite supported through Thu record-setting close in broader indices. - The ISM Services PMI accelerated to 52.0 in Aug, with stronger business activity and new orders, but continued employment contraction, a mix consistent with disinflationary growth that equity markets favored. Salesforce (CRM) underperformed on a cautious revenue outlook even as rate-cut hopes lifted cyclicals within the Dow complex. - Looking ahead, the index could extend gains if payrolls and earnings metrics cool without signaling a hard landing, as this may cement Fed easing later this month. Today's jobs report and subsequent Fed communications could be key catalysts for rate expectations and index momentum. Technical approach: - US30 bounced up from retesting the ascending channel's lower bounce, confluence with the support at 45000, and EMA21. - If US30 breaches the resistance at around 45700, the index may accelerate to retest the confluencing area of several Fibo Extension levels at around 46680-46900. - On the contrary, closing below 45000 may prompt a further correction to retest EMA78.

Dow Jones (DJI) – 1H Technical OutlookDow Jones (DJI) – 1H Technical Outlook Bias: Bearish while below 45,450. Key Resistance: 45,350 – 45,450 (failure to break above keeps sellers in control). Immediate Supports: 45,100 44,980 – 44,860 Major support at 44,700 📉 Primary Scenario: If price remains capped below 45,450, a downward move towards 44,700 is likely after a minor corrective bounce. 📈 Alternative Scenario: A breakout and sustained close above 45,500 would invalidate the bearish view and open the door for a rally towards 45,800 – 46,000.

DOW JONES Buy opportunity on oversold 4H RSI.Dow Jones (DJI) has been trading within a Channel Up since the July 31 High and yesterday hit its bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) and rebounded. Every short-term break just below the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) of this pattern since August 11, has been the most optimal buy opportunity. Technically as long as the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) holds, the medium-term trend remains bullish. Given also that the 4H RSI made an oversold rebound, first since August 04, we have a strong buy signal currently, which based on the previous Bullish Legs of the pattern, can rise by at least +2.67%. As a result, our short-term Target is 46100. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Dow Jones Falls from Record HighsOver the past two trading sessions, the Dow Jones index has declined by just over 0.7%, with selling pressure remaining constant. This move has been tied to the rebound in U.S. 10-year Treasury yields, which climbed to 4.27%, reducing the short-term appeal of equities. In addition, investors are awaiting the release of U.S. employment data at the end of the week, as the results could influence the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decisions. Uptrend Remains Intact Despite the recent pullback, the short-term declines have not been strong enough to break the uptrend that has remained in place for the past several months. This technical structure continues to be the most relevant in the short term. Unless selling pressure consolidates over more sessions, the upward trend is likely to remain dominant in the coming days. Technical Indicators RSI: although the RSI remains above the 50 level, it has begun to show a downward slope in the short term, which could indicate a shift in market momentum. If the line continues to decline, selling pressure could become more relevant in the sessions ahead. MACD: the MACD histogram continues to hover around the 0 line, indicating that the average strength of the moving averages remains in neutral territory. This highlights the lack of clear direction in the short term. Key Levels to Watch: 45,746 points – Relevant Resistance: corresponds to the Dow Jones record highs. A sustained breakout above this level could pave the way for a continuation of the uptrend. 45,023 points – Near-Term Support: coincides with recent lows and may act as a barrier for potential short-term pullbacks. 43,098 points – Critical Support: aligns with the 100- and 200-period simple moving averages. A move down to this zone could confirm a break in the uptrend and give way to a dominant bearish bias. Written by Julian Pineda, CFA – Market Analyst

XAU/USD | Breakout in Progress – Are You Ready for the Next ATH?By analyzing the gold chart on the 4-hour timeframe, we can see that, as expected from our analysis two days ago, the price began its bullish move from the $3383 zone and successfully hit all four targets at $3393, $3398, $3404, and $3409 — but it didn’t stop there! Gold continued its rally beyond those levels. As anticipated in yesterday’s outlook, we closely watched the $3419–$3429 supply zone for a potential bearish reaction. When price reached $3424, it dropped to $3404, validating our second scenario as well. Although the drop could’ve extended further, the combined result of both scenarios delivered over 500 pips of total profit! After hitting $3404, gold gained demand again — and with the release of the U.S. Core PCE data, this bullish trend strengthened, pushing price up toward its all-time high (ATH) near $3500. Gold is now trading around $3447, just 500 pips away from that historic level. Given the increasing odds of a Fed rate cut in September, the bullish momentum is likely to continue. In my view, a new ATH for gold could be on the horizon in the coming weeks. Hope this analysis helps you ride the wave — make the most of it! 💰📈 THE LATEST ANALYSIS 👇🏼 Will $3500 be the next stop for gold? 👀 👇 Drop your thoughts below & don’t miss the next update!

US30 Technical Analysis Report - Dow Jones Industrial Average# US30 Technical Analysis: Dow Jones Industrial Average Comprehensive Multi-Timeframe Trading Strategy Executive Summary Current Price: 45,572.6 (August 30, 2025, 12:54 AM UTC+4) Market Sentiment: Cautiously Bullish with Fed Policy Tailwinds Primary Trend: Strong Uptrend with Consolidation Characteristics Key Catalyst: Powell's Jackson Hole Speech Signaling Potential September Rate Cuts The Dow Jones Industrial Average continues to exhibit remarkable strength, trading near all-time highs following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's dovish pivot at Jackson Hole. The index benefits from renewed optimism around rate cuts while maintaining its traditional value-oriented composition that typically outperforms during monetary easing cycles. Market Context & Fundamental Backdrop Federal Reserve Policy Landscape Fed Chair Powell's Jackson Hole speech marked a significant shift in policy stance, with Powell indicating that conditions "may warrant" interest rate cuts. The Fed's dual mandate balance is shifting, with labor market risks now potentially outweighing inflation concerns. Markets are pricing in high probability of a September rate cut, with the current federal funds rate maintained at 4.25%-4.5%. Economic Environment Assessment The US economy has shown resilience despite policy uncertainties, though Powell warned of "unusual" labor market behavior that could become concerning. Recent inflation data has provided some reassurance to investors, with the consumer price index rising 2.7%, though tariff impacts remain a wildcard for future inflation trajectory. Dow Jones Composition Dynamics The Dow's 30 blue-chip constituents, including industrials, financials, and consumer staples, are well-positioned to benefit from lower interest rates. The index's price-weighted structure means high-priced stocks like Boeing, Goldman Sachs, and UnitedHealth Group carry significant influence on movements. Recent Performance Context The Dow has demonstrated exceptional strength, with recent sessions showing solid gains. The index reached fresh record highs during August, powered by strong performances from components like Home Depot. The index closed at 45,418.07 on August 26, showing consistent upward momentum throughout the month.

Federal Reserve Timeline September 17-18: FOMC Meeting with high cut probability November 6-7: Next FOMC Meeting December 17-18: Final 2025 FOMC Meeting with year-end implications Earnings Calendar Impact Q3 2025 Reporting Season: October-November critical for Dow components Key Reporters: Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Boeing, Apple reporting schedules Guidance Analysis: Management commentary on rate environment benefits Holiday and Event Calendar Labor Day (Sep 2): US markets closed Columbus Day (Oct 14): Bond markets closed, equity markets open Election Considerations: Political developments affecting policy expectations Year-End Positioning: Institutional rebalancing effects in Q4 Conclusion and Strategic Outlook The Dow Jones Industrial Average stands at a pivotal moment, benefiting from Fed Chair Powell's dovish pivot while trading at historically elevated levels. The index's composition of blue-chip, dividend-paying companies positions it well for a potential rate-cutting cycle, though elevated valuations require careful risk management. Strategic Investment Themes: 1. Fed Policy Tailwind: Rate cutting cycle benefiting rate-sensitive components 2. Value vs Growth: Dow's value orientation may outperform in rate cut environment 3. Dividend Aristocrats: Quality dividend payers attractive in lower rate environment 4. Economic Resilience: Defensive characteristics providing downside protection Trading Strategy Priorities: Trend Following: Primary bias remains bullish with Fed support Breakout Trading: Monitor 46,000 level for significant upside potential Risk Management: Elevated levels require disciplined position sizing Component Selection: Focus on rate-sensitive sectors for maximum benefit Medium-Term Outlook (3-6 months): Technical and fundamental analysis converges on a constructive outlook for the Dow through Q4 2025. The combination of Fed accommodation, resilient economic data, and strong corporate balance sheets supports advancement toward 47,000-48,000 targets, though any hawkish Fed surprises or geopolitical shocks could trigger corrections to 44,000-44,500 support. Risk Management Focus: Overbought Conditions: Monthly RSI above 74 suggests caution at higher levels Policy Risk: Fed policy error or hawkish surprise major downside risk Valuation Concerns: Historical high levels warrant selective positioning Correlation Risk: High correlation with broader market during stress periods Long-Term Strategic Considerations: The secular bull market remains intact, supported by American economic dynamism and corporate innovation. However, demographic trends, debt levels, and policy uncertainty create longer-term challenges requiring ongoing assessment and strategy adjustment. Traders and investors should maintain flexibility while capitalizing on the current favorable environment, with particular attention to the Fed policy trajectory and its impact on the interest rate-sensitive components that comprise significant portions of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. --- *This comprehensive analysis integrates multiple technical methodologies with current fundamental drivers affecting the Dow Jones Industrial Average. All recommendations should be implemented within individual risk tolerance parameters and adapted to evolving market conditions. The blue-chip nature of Dow components provides some defensive characteristics, though elevated levels require enhanced risk awareness.* --- For individuals seeking to enhance their trading abilities based on the analyses provided, I recommend exploring the mentoring program offered by Shunya Trade.
