Dow/NASDAQ: Dow Gap Below 34,617 Filled
Around 8:30 a.m. EST today the 5-minute Dow futures chart gap below 34,617, that was created at 2:00 p.m. on December 14, 2022, has been filled. The need to fill this gap was noted on January 28, 2023. One gap in the NASDAQ remains, as described on February 7, 2023.
Dow: Dow Transport Review
The Dow Jones Transportation Average charts shown below provide some insight into significant trading activities prior to a decline. In the last quarter of 2021, when a large long tail candlestick appeared on November 2, 2021, it was observed that a significant number of very large block trades were crossing the tape around that period of time. This trading activity is also similar to what occurred as a steady stream of very large blocks appeared during late January 2023 and early February 2023 when a long tail candlestick appeared on February 2, 2023. In the past, smaller versions of long tail candlesticks appeared on May 19, 2008 and September 19, 2008 prior to a sharp decline in late 2008.
Based on the Dow Transport Average index timelines discussed above, S&P500 and NASDAQ descending triangles noted on February 9, 2023, very large block trades crossing the tape during periods when long tail candlesticks appear, plus “technical issues” for trades on over 200 stocks during the morning session on January 24, 2023, it appears that Market Makers are setting up a decline that could last well into 2023.

Dow/S&P500: Algorithms Filling Gaps
Between January 19, 2023 and January 27, 2023 daily engrbytrade™ Dow calculations indicate algorithms have been positioning the Dow to set up a brief move upward prior to starting a decline. The January 19 – 27, 2023 calculations are similar to results received between December 8, 2021 to December 17, 2021 and August 4, 2022 to August 9, 2022. Prior to conducting a decline in the Dow, algorithms are expected to move the Dow higher and fill a gap that was created in the 5-minute Dow futures chart on December 14, 2022. This would move the Dow above 34,617 in the futures market before a decline would start.
Algorithms are also expected to move the S&P500 above 4229 in the futures market to fill a gap created in the 5-minute futures chart between August 19, 2022 and August 21, 2022.
This move up is calculated to take 8.5 trading days (+/- 1.5 trading days). A move down is still expected in accordance the January 25, 2023 post.

Dow/S&P500: S&P500 December 14, 2022 Gap Filled

This announcement resulted in a gap of the 1-hour S&P500 and Dow futures charts. The S&P500 gap was filled at the close on January 26, 2023. It appears algorithms are working to fill the December 14, 2022 Dow futures chart gap above 34,482.
