On the upside, there are intermediate-term resistances from 8352.11 – 9500.56. On the downside, there are intermediate-term supports from 7850.87 – 7327.82. For the bulls to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close back over 9500.56.
askSlim Sum of the Evidence

The Dow Jones Transportation Average fell over 42% from peak to trough and is now likely to have an extended period of consolidation. We would expect the index to trade between the intermediate-term resistances beginning at 8352 and the intermediate-term supports beginning at 7850 through the end of June. Our analysis suggests that there is a heightened period of downside risk in July and August of this year.
