The Dow Industrials are off 1000 points from the highs in September-October. The drop is about 7.5% thus far. A 10% drop, which would lock in the down move as a correction phase, would occur at 12285. The blue H&S, with a double-head, targets the 12250 area to satisfy the pattern, the same place as a 10% correction. The indicators are set up the same as the SPX and Nasdaq charts. The MACD histogram, stochatics and money flow want to see a bounce right now but the RSI and MACD line want to see a lower low in price after a bounce occurs. Support levels of interest are 12600, 12500, 12400, 12250-12290, and 12100. The broad markets should place a near-term bottom any time from now thru Monday.
WMT, a component of the Dirty Thirty, disappointed with earnings a few minutes ago. WMT is down 3%, two points, pre-market. As a rule of thumb for any Dow component, use a factor of eight to gauge its effect onthe overall index. Thus, -2 times 8 is -16, so WMT will contribute sixteen negative points to the Dow Industrials today if the pre-market action follows thru the opening.
