Dow Jones – Deja Vu 2011 ? End of QE 2 , Debt Limit. 2013 – Govt shutdown and Debt Limit

Dow Jones

 

Its been quite some time since i have looked into Dow Jones and before writing this post did look into some blogs and mails to get a sentiment av

 

Now what is interesting is the above chart looks pretty similar to 2011.

 

In 2011

 

- > End of QE 2

-> Uncerainty around Debt Limit Negotiations

-> S&P downgrade.

 

Now in 2013

 

-> Fed Tapering

-> Govt Shutdown

-> Debt Limit

 

Now the technical similarity

 

-> A good strong upmove from lows after consolidation

- > Took 3-6 months to form the Head and Shoulders formation.

-> Almost a similar size of head and shoulders. ( little lesser target in 2013)

 

Although this is a presumption that a similar pattern will unfold but a break below 14750-14850 will confirm the possibility of a downside.

 

This for now is an interesting similarity but will keep watch on a similar breakdown if happens will need to act accordingly as a such correction in US markets will keep other markets also under pressure or maybe lead to a global correction.

 

This is another chart from Chris Kimble. Link to the post and the chart below.

Bottomline : Although there is no confirmation of a breakdown but one needs to be alert for acting on shorts as and when the price ticks below important support levels. Better to be cautious than brave at this time.
