U.S. Stock Market at a Crossroad – November 2025

On 11/12/25 the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) made a new all-time high unaccompanied by the other two main U.S. stock indices, S&P 500 (SPX), and the Nasdaq Composite.  Since January 2000 this momentum divergence has signaled important U.S. stock market peaks. However, several of these signals have occurred in 2025 – all have failed.  We could know in a few days if this current signal is valid.

The 30 – minute DJI chart courtesy of Trading View illustrates its intraday action.

The short-term momentum evidence is bullish.  The DJI 11/12/25 peak was made with the 30 – minute RSI at its highest reading since the 11/07/25 bottom.  Most stock index ultimate peaks occur with at least one RSI bearish divergence.  The maximum RSI reading implies the DJI could soon make another new all-time high.  A move below the 11/07/25 bottom could significantly add fuel to the bearish case.

The 30 – minute SPX chart updates its intraday action.

The 11/08/25 blog “Elliott Wave – Invalidation Points” illustrated that the SPX could be forming an Elliott wave – Ending Diagonal Triangle.  If so, the bottom made on 11/13/25 could be Minuette wave (b) of a forming Minute wave [iii].  The low on 11/13/25 was close to a Fibonacci .618 retracement of the prior rally.  This is a logical spot for a presumed Minuette wave (b) to bottom.

Longer-term seasonal patterns are bullish.  November is statistically the most bullish month for U.S. stocks. 

The next few trading days for U.S. stocks are important.

Watch the DJI 11/07/25 bottom.
