Dow Jones Weekly Review – High-Level Fluctuations, Nvidia Hits New Record High

1. This Week’s Market Trends

• Monday (5.11): 49,549 → 49,704, close at 49,704.47 (+0.19%); slight upward fluctuation, blue chips remain resilient.

• Tuesday (5.12): 49,739 → 49,760, close at 49,760.56 (+0.11%); narrow consolidation, high-level turnover.

• Wednesday (5.13): 49,674 → 49,693, close at 49,693.20 (-0.14%); slight pullback, pressure at high levels.

• Thursday (5.14): 49,843 → 50,063, close at 50,063.46 (+0.75%); strongest day this week, surged near 50,200, hitting recent highs.

• Friday (5.15): 49,930 → 49,526, close at 49,526.17 (-1.07%); Black Friday, inflation exceeds expectations + US bond yields soar, dropping 537 points in a single day, retracing most of the weekly gains.

Overall: From strength to weakness, rallying then retreating. Early-week oscillation upward, Thursday’s strong push above 50,000, Friday’s large-volume decline breaking support, weekly loss **-0.36%**, panic at high levels intensifies.

2. Technical Indicators

• Moving Averages (Daily): Fell below 5/10-day moving averages, short-term averages flattening and turning bearish; 20/50-day moving averages still bullish but support weakening.

• MACD (Daily): Bearish crossover above zero line, green bars appear, bullish momentum waning, bearish signals emerging.

• RSI (14): From 65 to 48, from strong to neutral, not oversold, still room to decline.

• Bollinger Bands (4H): After tightening, opening downward, price broke below middle band, running along lower band, forming a bearish channel.

• Volume: Large volume drop on Friday, volume-price coordination indicates significant selling pressure.

In one sentence: High-level weakening, bearish momentum starting, no oversold signals, probability of oscillating downward is high.

3. Key Support & Resistance Levels (DJIA)

Resistance (Rebound Resistance)

• 50,000–50,200: Strong resistance / psychological barrier, Thursday’s high, heavy trapped positions.

• 49,800: Breakout point on Friday, short-term strong resistance.

• 49,550: Intraday consolidation center, minor resistance.

Support (Downside Defense)

• 49,350–49,000: First strong support, Friday’s low + previous platform.

• 48,600: Mid-term strong support, 100-day moving average + lower end of oscillation.

• 48,300: Important bottom, April’s oscillation low.

4. Core Driving Factors

1. US CPI Surprises to the Upside (Trigger)

April CPI at 3.8% (expected 3.5%), inflation sticky, Fed rate cut expectations delayed to after December, or canceled altogether.

10-year US Treasury yield surpassing 4.49%, 30-year stabilizing at 5%, valuation suppression + bond-stock double sell-off.

2. Profit-taking at High Levels + Panic Sentiment

DJIA surged about 15% from March lows, heavy profit-taking above 50,000.

Middle East geopolitical tensions + US stocks diverging at high levels, funds shifting to safe havens.

3. Blue Chips Resist Decline but Cannot Avoid Systemic Risks

DJIA components mainly industrial/financial/consumer blue chips, relatively resilient, but all decline together under systemic risk.

5. Market Outlook (Short-term 1–2 Weeks)

Trend Judgment

High-level oscillation leaning weak, risk of correction rising. High inflation + prolonged high interest rates + rising US bond yields suppress US stock valuations; DJIA forming a top above 50,000, short-term oscillation expected.

Three Scenarios

1. Bearish (Baseline): US bond yields continue rising + inflation concerns persist → decline to 49,000–48,600.

2. Neutral Oscillation: Fluctuate within 49,000–49,800, awaiting Fed speeches / inflation data guidance.

3. Slight Bullish (Low Probability): Data cools down + dovish Fed reassurance → stabilize and rebound, returning above 50,000.

Trading Strategy

• Main Strategy: Rebound to short on resistance: 49,800–50,000, staggered short positions, stop-loss above 50,200.

• Cautious Long at Low Levels: Support at 48,600–49,000, stabilize then lightly long, stop-loss below 48,300.

• Range-bound Oscillation: 49,000–49,800, sell high and buy low, breakouts follow the trend.
