In contrast, the S&P 500 slid 12.03 points (-0.15%) to 7,799.51, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped 132.314 points (-0.48%) to settle at 27,233.855, dragged down by losses in semiconductor and tech names
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is trading upward today, firmly holding above its daily EMA 100 at 51,693.91. This sustained position above dynamic resistance signals potential for upward continuation as buyers step in to defend short-term momentum. However, if market sentiment shifts and the index turns lower again, key downside targets to watch include the major ascending trendline support, followed by the daily EMA 200 at 50,414.80 and the key 50,500 psychological level.
Intel Corporation (INTC)
Shares of Intel Corporation (INTC) are currently moving within a symmetrical triangle consolidation pattern, with price action sitting at the bottom boundary of the triangle near the daily EMA 100 at $101.13. The stock was down 3.51% to trade around $101.03. If a bullish bounce materializes, the triangle consolidation structure will remain intact. Conversely, a downside breakout below current support would open the path for further declines toward the daily EMA 200 near $86.73.
