Dow Jones Technical Analysis Key Support & Resistance Levels

Technical Analysis of the Dow Jones Index

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) remains one of the most influential global benchmarks that investors follow closely. This analysis provides a detailed technical outlook based on recent price structures, with clear support and resistance mapping and scenario planning. The goal is to help readers interpret price action objectively—without overreacting to sharp pullbacks or fast rallies.

This piece also builds on, and should be read as a continuation of, what was previously explained in Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) Technical Analysis published on December 5, 2023—with the targets cited there having been successfully achieved.

1) Time Frame

The analysis is conducted on the daily timeframe, using classical chart-pattern techniques (Double Bottom, Inverted Head & Shoulders) and the breakout–throwback framework to validate or invalidate scenarios with daily closes.

2) Main Chart Patterns

2.1 Double Bottom

• Breakout Level: 40,831 points (also referenced as 40,809–40,787).
• Measured Target: 44,934 points.
• Status: Target reached; profit-taking there was normal and not bearish by itself.

2.2 Inverted Head & Shoulders (IHS)

• Neckline: 42,827 – 42,894 points.
• Validity Condition: Maintain daily closes above 41,354.
• Measured Target: ~49,081 points.
• Invalidation: A daily close below 41,354 cancels the IHS target.

2.3 Additional Breakout Target

• Breakout Source: 40,831 points.
• Measured Target: 46,375 – 46,420 points.
• Status: Target remains valid; a retest of 40,831 is a healthy throwback if the level holds on a daily close.

3) Support & Resistance Map

Type	Level	Notes
Support 1	42,827 – 42,894	IHS neckline. Throwback zone; holding here keeps momentum constructive.
Support 2	41,354	IHS invalidation on a daily close below; cancels the ~49,081 target.
Support 3	40,831	Double-Bottom breakout. A daily close below weakens the ~46,420 objective.
Resistance/Target	44,934	Achieved DB objective; can cap price on first retest.
Resistance/Target	46,375 – 46,420	Active breakout objective from 40,831.
Resistance/Target	~49,081	IHS measured move; valid while 41,354 holds on daily closes.

4) Scenario Planning

4.1 Primary Bullish Path

While daily closes remain above 41,354, the IHS objective near 49,081 stays in play. A controlled throwback into 42,827–42,894 is normal. Clearing 44,934 reopens 46,420; sustained momentum from there can extend toward 49,081.

4.2 Bearish Pressure / Partial Invalidation

A daily close below 41,354 invalidates the IHS path and raises the odds of a retest of 40,831. Even then, the 46,420 objective remains valid so long as 40,831 holds on a daily basis.

4.3 Deeper Reversal Risk

Losing 40,831 on a daily close meaningfully weakens the bullish structure and invites deeper corrective flows toward lower supports.

5) Final Takeaways

Probabilistically, the DJIA retains a constructive structure toward 49,081 provided the market respects 41,354 and 40,831. Immediate resistance is 44,934. Breaking it improves the odds of testing 46,420 and, with sufficient participation and breadth, advancing toward the IHS objective.
