Technical Forecast for the Daily Swing Chart

Trader response to 34942 is expected to impact the direction of the June E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures contract on Wednesday.

Possibilities for Growth

The presence of buyers will be shown by a prolonged advance over 34942. The uptrend will be reaffirmed if the next big top at 35015 is taken out. This might lead to a run to the major peak at 35281 on March 29. This might be a tipping point for a move higher, with the February 9 major peak at 35649 being the next objective.

Scenario that is bearish

The presence of selling will be signaled by a persistent rise below 34942. We might see a break through the 50% mark at 34397 if this develops enough downward momentum.
