Deeper decline within the descending channel on the daily chart support level is allowed to 17700. A break of support levels of 17,490 (38.2% Fibonacci level EMA144 and the lower line of the rising channel on the weekly chart), 17380 (EMA200 on the weekly chart) can break the upward trend of the index DJIA. Breakdown level of 17150 (50.0% Fibonacci level and EMA200, EMA144 on the monthly chart) confirms the change in trend.
However, the positive dynamics of US indexes is retained. Probably is a repeat of growth to levels near the annual maximum level of 18,600 while the DJIA is above 17885. One moderate increase in interest rates in the United States is not enough to change the bullish trend of the US stock market. The signal for the resumption of growth in the scenario can be broken through the resistance level of 18290.
