The pivotal levels that may affect the movement of the US Dow Jones index.
Despite the index's breakthrough near 33,550 range, the index is still moving generally between the boundaries of a downward sloping channel.
The index faces strong resistance levels between 34,300-34,500, which it has attempted to test several times without success in surpassing them. Therefore, if it fails to overcome the 34,500 resistance, it may retreat again to test the support level of 33,000 points. If this level is broken, the decline may extend further to the support level of 31,450 points.
However, if the index succeeds in surpassing the 34,500 resistance level, this may contribute to further upward movement to test the resistance level of 35,300 points. If it surpasses that, the rise may extend further to the level of 36,200 points.
