What Happened to Dow Jones Industrial Average – 40,000?

Just last week on 05/20/24 the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) hit its all-time high of 40,0077.   Since then, its fallen 4.17%  losing more than 1,600 points.

The DJI and Nvidia Corporation (NVDA) hourly chart courtesy of Treading View shows a shocking divergence.

The DJI decline from 05/20/24 has the appearance of a developing Elliott- Impulse wave.   Note the weak rally during the 05/29/24 trading session.  At the 05/29/24 close DJI had retraced 67% of its 04/17/24 to 05/20/24 rally.   In two or three trading days the DJI could reach the 04/17/24 bottom near 37,600.

In stark contrast the NVDA buying mania continues.  On 05/29/24 NVDA hit 1,154.92, major long term Fibonacci resistance is at 1,157.

On 05/29/24 NVDA – daily MACD – Histogram and lines were still rising, implying higher prices.  NVDA could make a significant top in one or two trading days.

The current DJI drop could be just the prelude to a larger bear market lasting months. 

If NVDA begins to decline it could add fuel to a growing bearish fire.
