E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM) Futures Technical Analysis – Big Buying Volume Could Trigger Breakout over 26054

The blue chip Dow Jones Industrial Average is trying to mount a comeback after early session weakness threatened to take out a key support area. The strong recovery is impressive, but gains remain limited because of lingering fears over an escalating trade dispute between the United States and China.

The Dow rallied to its high for the session after the White House confirmed that a Chinese delegation would be attending a key meeting in Washington, however, gains were pair when China said it would take “necessary” countermeasures if the U.S. raises tariffs Friday as President Trump threatened on Sunday.

At 17:03 GMT, June E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading 26022, up 49 or +0.20%.
