Friday’s Technical Outlook for the DJIA (.DIA)

$DIA, $.DJI

US stocks failed to sustain intra-day gains and closed flat to little changed Thursday, as the rally in Crude Oil and energy related issues lost momentum during afternoon trade.

DJIA rose 9 pts, or 0.05%, to close at 17,661, the S&P 500 Index lost 0.5 pt, or 0.02%, to 2,051, the NAS Comp fell 8 pts, or 0.18%, to close at 4,717.

Disappointing US jobless claims data weighed on sentiment as participants await the Key US NFPs (nonfarm payrolls) report due Friday.

The Bearish momentum continues in the index, and the daily shows that the price is currently below its 20-Day SMA, as the technical indicators maintain their Southward slopes below their mid-lines.

In the 4 hours, the technical indicators have turned North from near oversold mars, but remain below their mid-lines, the 20-Day SMA acts as dynamic resistance now around 17,731, having accelerated its decline below the 100 and 200-Day SMAs.

Commentary

DJIA at 17660.71 traded inside the range of the Wednesday’s session, a sign of contracted volatility, while waiting for the important US NFPs (non-farm payrolls) data Friday. No directional bias in here, main support at 17500-400 and main resistance seen at 17900.
