Dow Jones looking bearish
Some bearish technical factors are developing in the Dow Jones.
On the daily chart, the Dow's 100 day MA has just crossed under the 200 day MA. The price of the Dow tried to break up and out through the 200 day MA and bounced downward, acting as resistance.
Secondarily, the price of the Dow also is bouncing down off of the trend line established from the triangle pattern I drew.
Volume is still high, so a strong sell off could happen at any time.
Expect the Dow to break down lower from this triangle pattern. Lower lows are likely coming.
How can I take action?
If you are a beginner or have a low risk tolerance, I would recommend sitting this out and just watch and wait to see how the market develops.
If you have some experience in option trades, this may be a good opportunity to buy a put option on the Dow. However, for triangle patterns, it is recommended to wait until the price breaks out of the pattern in one direction or the other. Remember, Robinhood offers a great free platform for options trading.
Keep in mind, option trades are extremely risky and extremely volatile. With a volatile market, these trades become even more bipolar. You'd better have a big risk appetite and a strong stomach.
