π» Why the Dow Fell Last Week
Stagflation Fears: A combination of rising inflation and weakening jobs data has spooked investors. The July U.S. Jobs Report revealed a soft labor market and a drop in non-farm payrolls, igniting fears of a slowing economy with persistent inflation.
Corporate Pressure: Disappointing earnings, especially from big tech and industrials, weighed on sentiment. Amazonβs 8%+ drop was a major drag.
Policy Uncertainty: While traders are pricing in a potential Fed rate cut in September, the market remains jittery amid conflicting signals from policymakers.
π Current Technical Outlook
Price Action: Trading near 43,760, the Dow remains under its monthly and weekly pivot levels.
Support Zone: The next key level to watch is 43,300, followed by 42,850 if weakness continues.
Resistance Zone: Bulls need a sustained move above 44,200 to regain short-term control.
π§ What Traders Should Watch
Fed Commentary: Any dovish language from Fed officials this week could fuel further upside in equities.
US Factory Orders & Services PMI: Key macro data releases may determine if the bounce holds or fades.
