Market sentiment were upbeat going into Wednesday as the earnings season kicked off with J.P Morgan beating estimates by some margin and positive news on the vaccine front.

The tit-for-tat disputes are bringing back volatility to the markets with President Trump ordering an end to Hong Kong's special status under U.S. law and Beijing vowed to retaliate.

In this note you will find the technical analysis from our Market Analyst, Barry Dumas:

The Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis

The price action on the Wall Street 30 Index has pushed higher and closed above our point of interest the 26721-resistance level (pink line). This level as mentioned in our previous Wall Street 30 Technical Analysis note is a level of interest which needs to hold for another leg higher. Volume has spiked higher as our expected “Big” move realized to the upside and above our point of interest.

The price action on the Wall Street 30 needs to push higher and close above the next resistance level of 27568 to negate the COVID-19 downtrend and push to our 3^rd possible target of 28123. News events like negative earnings and the U.S-China sanctions could put a damper on the price action.

Technical points to look out for on the Daily Wall Street 30:

• The price action has closed above our point of interest resistance at 26721 and needs to hold to support another leg higher.

• The 50-day SMA (blue line) is continuing to act as support to the price action and now also becomes an indicator of interest to keep an eye on.

• The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has started to tick higher ever so slightly and is above the midpoint (50) now.
