Dow Jones Industrial Average - as forecast by us last week, this NYSE index has been unable to hold on to gains and displayed a lower tops and bottoms formation. The channel top has proven to be a formidable resistance and the 52 week average could not be surpassed. The 10085 levels will be the near term resistance and support is likely at the 9780 levels
