Daily Technical Forecast
Based on the early price action and the current price at 29043, the direction of the March E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average the rest of the session on Thursday is likely to be determined by trader reaction to a pair of Gann angles at 28937 and 29031.
Bearish Scenario
A sustained move under 28937 will indicate the presence of sellers. This angle was tested earlier in the session and held as support. If it fails then look for the selling to extend into the main bottom at 28850. Taking this out will change the main trend to down. This could trigger a further break into the main 50% level at 28824. Watch for a technical bounce on the first test of this level.
