Funny thing about the market; I’ve had this potential 17,500 target on the Dow since early in the year as it formed a bullish Ascending Triangle on this weekly chart we review most often in NFTRH. Then the recent mini correction dropped it hard and I felt a little twinge of embarrassment about this chart. Now? Not so much.

This is what happens when market bounces extend off of corrections that came about amidst b/s like the Middle East and Russia/Ukraine tension (i.e. things that have nothing to do with the US stock market other than resetting over bullish sentiment to a healthier state). These bounce backs tend to fix technicals. The market can turn and drop tomorrow, but as of 3:00 on Tuesday, the Dow’s technicals are intact and targeting 17,500.
