The above chart reflected important resistance was at hand. Despite the 6% plus rally over the past few days, the Dow remains over 1,000 points lower than when the chart was produced. I doubt that the chart above woke up many bears, yet I did hope the “Power of the Pattern” would wake up some of the bulls and give them a quality reason to harvest gains and lower some risk exposure.
Below is an update to the 70-year Dow chart (see Did a 500 point decline get us closer to support)

The attached long-term Dow and S&P 500 charts reflect that they remain much closer to resistance than key long-term support.
