The Dow posted a key reversal down and closed lower on Wednesday. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Thursday's day session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If the Dow extends the rally off October's low into uncharted territory, upside targets will be hard to project. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 37,778.18 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 38,588.86. Second resistance is unknown. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 37,778.18. Second support is the January 18th low crossing at 37,122.95.
