According to the 4-hour chart, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (#INDU – DJ30) is trading under bearish pressure, below the 200 EMA located at 35,873. Technological components of the industrial average with notable negative numbers were Microsoft Corporation down 4.23%. salesfore.com inc. lost 3.87% and Apple Inc shed 1.90%.

The Dow Jones 30 is under downward pressure. This downtrend is likely to continue in the coming days. US bonds increased their yields due to investor uncertainty regarding the Fed's monetary policy.

US Treasuries perked up earlier in the week after the Fed Chairman said the central bank would be in a position to begin a cycle of monetary tightening with several interest rates hikes this year as soon as the bond-buying program is terminated.

According to the 4-hour chart, the trend of the Dow Jones is bearish as long as it remains trading below the 200 EMA. A continuation of the downward pressure is expected towards the support of 3/8 Murray located at 35,546 and down to 2/8 of Murray around 35,156.

Conversely, if in the next few days, the DJ30 manages to consolidate above 4/8 Murray around 35,937, we could see a move higher towards the top of the downtrend channel at 36,220. In case of a sharp break above 5/8 Murray, the index could reach the all-time high of 36,825. If this level is broken, the price could print a new high of 37,000.

The eagle indicator is giving a negative signal and supports our bearish strategy. Therefore, as long as the DJ30 trades below 35,876, we can sell with targets at 35,546 and down to 35,156.
