Dow Jones, SP 500, Hang Seng Analysis and Charts

​​​Dow losses halted for now

​The run of losses for the index appears to have slowed, with the price holding above the lows seen on Monday around 37,600.​ In the short term, a close above 38,000 and then above the 100-day simple moving average (SMA), currently 38,107, could suggest that a tradeable low has formed. A new leg higher would target 39,000, and then perhaps on to 40,000.

​A close below 37,500 signals more downside to come.

Recommended by Chris Beauchamp ​SP 500 edges higher

​The index touched a two-month low yesterday, though it has yet to close below 5000. ​A close back above 5100 and the 50-day SMA at 5121 would signal that a higher low is in place for the time being, and could signal that a new leg higher is underway.

​By contrast, if sellers can drive the price below 5000 then we may see a test of the 100-day SMA, with the late 2021 high at 4806 the next big level to watch.

What does it mean for price action? ​Hang Seng rallies

​Recent weakness knocked the index to a six-week low, but a big up day overnight suggests a low might be in. ​Further gains above the 16,600 level and the 50-day SMA would help support a bullish view, and pen the way to the 17,000 highs from earlier in the month.

​A breakout above 17,000 would help to suggest that a longer-term move has begun.
