Follow the Leader – Part Two

The 11/05/22 blog “Follow the Leader” noted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) was the most bullish of the three main US stock indices, and to watch its 200 – day moving average (MA).  Today, 11/10/22 the DJI has decisively broken above two resistance points implying the rally could continue for several weeks.

The prior blog “S&P 500 – Short -Term Elliott Wave Forecast – 11/09/22” noted that the S&P 500 (SPX) decline from the 11/01/22 top could terminate on 11/10/22 or 11/11/22.  The very bullish action on 11/10/22 implies that the presumed Intermediate wave (2) probably bottomed on 11/03/22.  The powerful rise  today – 11/10/22 looks like it’s the mid portion of Intermediate wave (3) up, which is  usually the most dynamic part of an Elliott impulse wave.

The 11/05/22 blog noted that a 2.21% move above the 200-day MA could be a bullish breakout. On 11/08/22 the DJI moved above this level and then stopped exactly at the declining trendline connecting the 04/21/22 and 08/16/22 tops. The subsequent drop appeared it could continue for several days.  Today’s huge rally decisively blasted above the trendline and potential 200 – day MA resistance.

At the close of the 11/10/22 session the DJI was just below the Fibonacci .618 retracement of the 2022 bear move.

Considering the strength of the 11/10/22 move up and the break above two resistance levels, there’s a very good chance the DJI could also push above the potential .618 resistance.

If the DJI can push over the .618 resistance,  it could move to a new all-time  high  by early to mid-December 2022.
