Technical Analysis DJI - Will the Dow Jones Industrial Average continue falling?

Chart Analysis

On the daily timeframe, the DJI: D1 breached down the short-term support line of the uptrend. A number of technical analysis indicators formed sell signals.

The bearish momentum may develop in case DJI falls below the two last fractal lows and the lower Bollinger band at 28190. This level may serve as an entry point. The initial stop loss may be placed above the last fractal high, the historical high and the Parabolic signal at 29490. After opening the pending order, we shall move the stop to the next fractal low following the Bollinger and Parabolic signals. Thus, we are changing the potential profit/loss to the breakeven point. More risk-averse traders may switch to the 4-hour chart after the trade and place there a stop-loss moving it in the direction of the trade. If the price meets the stop level (29490) without reaching the order (28190), we recommend closing the position: the market sustains internal changes that were not taken into account.
