Dow Jones Averages Did Not (Yet?) Confirm S&P 500 Highs
By, Simon Maierhofer

The S&P 500 scored new all-time highs, but none of the major Dow Jones Averages (DJI, DJT and DJU) confirmed this move. There’s also another reason why it may not be a smart move to chase the S&P 500 break out.

The S&P 500 is at new all time highs, and, as the weekly bar chart shows, there’s some room until it hits next resistance.

However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSEArca: DIA) and Dow Jones Transportation Average (NYSEArca: IYT) failed to surpass their prior highs.

But, the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJT) managed to close above red trend line resistance (blue circle), which is short-term bullish.

The trend is your friend ... until it ends. Seasonality suggests a rally pause. Here’s a brand new and detailed S&P 500 seasonality chart.
