Technical Analysis

Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU)

A test on the SMA 50 and the level near trendline has happened and immediately DJIA bounced upward. The index set to open today’s trading session higher too. The message is simple do not short the equity market yet as the trend continues bullish.

Ball Corp (BLL)

BLL share prices are in a crossroad near the daily SMA 200. The overall trend is bullish and BLL has a chance to continue its bullish trend. However, it needs a close above the SMA 200 and the horizontal line. Traders could look for long positions near the bottom horizontal line with a tight stop below it.
