The STOCK INDEXES? http://quotes.ino.com/ex?changes/?c=indexes



The Dow closed lower on Monday Dow as it erased early gains over worries about the Delta variant of the coronavirus and a slowing U.S. economy that has eclipsed optimism around more fiscal stimulus and a strong second-quarter earnings season. Data earlier in the day showed that while U.S. manufacturing grew in July, its pace slowed for a second straight month as spending turned back to services from goods, and shortages of raw materials persisted. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Tuesday's night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Multiple closes above May's high crossing at 35,091.56 would mark an upside breakout of a three-month old trading range while opening the door for additional gains near-term. Closes below the 50-day moving average crossing at 34,526.43 would signal that a short-term top has been posted while opening the door for a possible test of July's low crossing at 33,741.76. First resistance is today's high crossing at 35,192.11. Second resistance is unknown. First support is the 50-day moving average crossing at 34,526.43.

Closes below July's low crossing at 14,445.00 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. If September resumes this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside targets will be hard to project with the index trading in uncharted territory. First resistance is last-Monday's high crossing at 15,134.00. Second resistance is unknown. First support is July's low crossing at 14,445.00. Second support is the 50-day moving average crossing at 14,349.79.

If September extends this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside targets will be hard to project.
