Weaker than expected consumer inflation report could slow down the pace of future Fed rate hikes.

Daily Technical Forecast

Based on the early trade, the direction of the September E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average is likely to be determined by trader reaction to the pivot at 25975.

A sustained move over 25975 will indicate the presence of buyers. Overcoming and sustaining the rally over the steep uptrending Gann angle at 26020 will indicate the buying is getting stronger. This could drive the Dow into the main top at 26185, followed by a longer-term uptrending Gann angle at 26235.

Crossing to the strong side of the angle at 26235 and sustaining the move will put the Dow in an extremely bullish position.

A sustained move under 25975 will signal the presence of sellers. This could lead to a labored break with target angles coming in at 25892 and 25828. The latter is the last potential support angle before the 25764 main bottom.

If the main bottom fails then the trend will change to down. This could trigger an acceleration to the downside with targets coming in at 25607 and 25570.
