DJIA – Dow Industrial Average (Last:12104)

Dow Industrial Average (DJIA) price chart with targetsShould I mention that yesterday’s 337-point rally was not impulsive on the larger intraday charts? Check out the 240-minute bars if you don’t believe me. Another measly 31 points would have done the job, but it looks like the panic-stricken shorts who powered yesterday’s wilding spree just didn’t have it in them.  My hunch is that the rally will prove to have been a one-and-a-half-day wonder after bears have done their puking Wednesday morning. Still, because the daily chart actually is impulsively bullish, we’ll have to treat the expected pullback with the same deference today’s commentary has accorded Kim Jong Il.  Allowing for the most bullish scenario I could possible see over the next eight trading days, my maximum rally target would be 12760, subject to midpoint interference at 12248.
