The DJIA index is in battle with 200-day simple moving average on a daily chart. Yes, the Dow Jones index closed above this important moving average yesterday but bulls need to make sure that the DJIA index remains above this moving average. If we fail to have another positive strong close today, the Dow Jones price may begin its consolidation once again.
