The key area to watch today is the price cluster formed by the short-term 50% level at 24886 and the steep downtrending Gann angle at 24892.
Overcoming this price cluster triggered today’s steep rally. Taking out the Fibonacci level at 25310 will indicate the buying is getting stronger. This could trigger a rally into the downtrending Gann angle at 25788. The rally could expand on a move through 25788 with the next target angle coming in at 26236.
A sustained move under 24886 will signal the presence of sellers. This could drive the Dow back into a Fib level at 23866, followed by 23088.
