Technical Analysis

Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU)

The midterm election result has come out and it seems we will see a further upward continuation in DJIA. The index set to challenge the resistance level around 25,750 and daily SMA 50. A breakout above the resistance will secure new uptrend in the index.

Danaher Corp (DHR)

DHR dropped below its daily SMA 200 and currently traded back near the averages. There is bearish trendline present which will hinder the share prices from moving upside. We think DHR will print a bearish reversal pattern near both resistances and resuming its bearish trend. However, a strong breakout upside will cancel the bearish outlook.
