Technical Analysis

Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU)

DJIA has not breakout above the 30,000 handles but it might eventually breakout above the level. At the current time, DJIA futures higher more than 200 points which indicates more bullish pressure toward 30,000. Traders will continue to observe the index closing level at the end of the day.

In the long-term, we expect bullish continuation but the situation could change radically depending on the coronavirus vaccine update and Biden’s policy when entering office.

Alibaba Group (BABA)

BABA share prices took a beating after the IPO halted by China. The current share price movement was mostly dominated by the political issue where Jack Ma recently criticized government officials. Bearish pressure might continue to mount and support levels might get broken.

However, traders could start looking for long positions when the bearish pressure diminished and there is a bullish reaction.
