Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up over 200 points on Tuesday. The move higher pressed into a zone of resistance near 17,928. Though we think prices will eventually dip into support zone 2 identified in last week’s report, the wave structure allows for price to bump up to 18,340 and still be considered corrective.

In essence, we are looking for a downward corrective structure that eats up more time than price.
In the meantime, we look for clues about near term support or resistance.

Therefore, a break and close above yesterday’s high would open the door to higher levels up to 18,340. Remember, this could be a ‘B’ wave which tends to be sucker waves. In this case, below 18,340 keeps the ‘B’ wave option on the table for an eventual retest towards 17,550 and possibly lower.

As a result, we are cautiously bullish on the short term. A shorter term trader may consider a breakout above Tuesday’s high, while targeting the April 20 high. The overnight low could be the risk near 17,830.
Below 17,830 and to the May 6 low of 17,550 becomes no man’s land. If price prints into that zone, we’ll await more clarity while anticipating an eventual dip to support zone 2.
