Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average remained mostly flat with little gain today following Friday’s sharp drop. Price action continues to hold above the daily EMA 100 ($51,713.16), attempting to establish short-term stability. If the index turns lower again, it will likely target the major ascending trendline support below. Furthermore, a breakdown from current levels could print a lower swing high on the chart, which would signal underlying technical weakness and open the door for further downside toward the daily EMA 200 ($50,486.95)
Hudbay Minerals Inc. (HBM)
Shares of Hudbay Minerals Inc. (HBM) are currently located at the daily EMA 200 ($23.74), a key dynamic support level where price action successfully bounced during two previous downturns. The stock was trading up 1.65% at $24.01 during the session. If buyers defend this area once more, we might see another bullish bounce and upward continuation aimed at printing a new swing high above the daily EMA 100 ($25.60). Traders could look to utilize moving averages to position for long entries, establishing risk management stops below the previous swing low around the $19.50 level.
