Dow Jones Industrial Average

The Dow Jones Industrial Average looks to be forming a bottom. The index is near its Nov 07 low of 7392. The trend is still bearish at this point in time. However there are 2 positive signs in the technical charts. Firstly, the weekly MACD indicator is above its signal line and secondly, the weekly RSI seems to be forming a divergence signal. The index needs to break the downtrend channel line in order for a sustainable rally.

Resistance level is at 8446 level and support is at 7392 level.
