    • Close40924.00

US 30   is trading at 40896, 0.12% up since previous day close. The market’s surge from early-August lows was primarily fueled by expectations of lower interest rates, and any further positive signals from the Fed are likely to fuel further gains. However, heavyweight technology firms saw some losses following their recent robust comeback. Today’s rally is suggested by the RSI touching 63. The nearest resistance is at 40707, while the closest support is at 40758. If it breaks, it can reach 41445.
