The Dow Jones reversed its downward trend, rebounding with notable gains. As a reminder, in our previous technical report, we noted that a return to a stable trading level above 49,420 could temporarily halt the bearish scenario, potentially leading to a retest of 49,610 and then 49,750.
Technical Outlook – 4-Hour Timeframe:
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is providing positive signals, remaining above the 50 midline, which reflects a shift toward bullish momentum. Additionally, the price is holding above the simple moving averages on shorter timeframes, reinforcing the current recovery phase.
Most Likely Scenario:
From here, with the index holding above the 49,400 support level, the bullish bias is favored. We are targeting 49,895 as the first objective. A confirmed break above 49,910 would further strengthen the upward trend, paving the way toward 50,075.
Conversely, it’s worth noting that a return to trading below 49,400 would put the index back under negative pressure, with targets starting at 49,065.
Note: Today, April 21, 2026, we are awaiting high-impact economic data from the US, specifically Retail Sales figures for March. Consensus estimates forecast a 1.4% month-over-month increase. We expect significant price volatility around the 8:30 AM ET release time, as these figures will be a critical gauge for consumer strength and future monetary policy.
Caution: The risk level remains high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios remain possible.
