Dow Transportation Average Index DJT

The Dow Jones Transportation Average (DJT) is a price-weighted average of 20 key transportation stocks traded in the United States.

The transportation sector acts as a leading indicator as it is further up the value chain ahead of the final products being sold by companies in Dow Jones Industrial Average DJI. For this reason, in some circumstances we can use the DJT as a helpful leading indicator for the direction of the economy

Currently we are at a critical juncture on the DJT chart as we are testing significant resistance levels

- The DTJ Index is at a critical diagonal and horizontal
resistance level
- A break through or rejection of the resistance will
provide insight into the direction of the economy
- There is a potential Head and Shoulders pattern
that needs to be validated or invalidated which will
be defined by the price reaction to the resistance
zone.

We can observe what happens over the coming weeks and how price reacts to the resistance. Can it break above it and turn it into support?

When the DJI is climbing higher while the DJT is falling, it can be a signal of economic weakness ahead. A divergence of this sort means goods are not being transported at the same rate they are being produced, suggesting a decline in nationwide demand.

This type of divergence occurred prior to the March 2020 crash with the DJT making its ATH in Dec 2020, thereafter the DJI made a new ATH in February 2020 whilst the DJT was closing almost 5% lower making a lower high. Those that study Dow Theory were key observers of the divergence and acted accordingly safeguarding their portfolios.

Thankfully, at present there is no divergence. I will follow up in the comments with a chart showing that the DJI and the DJT are currently very closely aligned. Regardless paying close attention for a divergence could be very beneficial for your portfolio. I will certainly be on the look out and notify you in the event of.

Thanks for reading and welcome to Macro Mondays

Can we find support on the resistance zone or will we break down in a double top fashion. Critical juncture here.

Guys this is looking a little weak.

If price breaks down under the resistance, I would start getting a little concerned of follow through.
