Dow Opens in the Red: Geopolitical Tensions Weigh on Markets 20/4/2026

Mixed trading dominated the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Wall Street, as it began the week with a downward price gap.

Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Timeframe:

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is showing negative signals, reflecting weak positive momentum. Simultaneously, the simple moving averages are attempting to exert downward pressure on the price, further increasing the negative pressure on the index.

Likely Scenario:

From here, with the price holding below the resistance level of 49,420, a decline is possible. A confirmed break below the support level of 48,920 would facilitate a move towards 48,760.

Conversely, a return to a stable trading position above 49,420 could temporarily halt the bearish scenario, potentially leading to a retest of 49,610.

Caution: The risk level is high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios remain possible.
