Chart of the Day
Today’s Chart of the Day was shared on Twitter by John Kicklighter (@JohnKicklighter). It’s a daily candlestick chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average with a nine-day trading range indicator. The market has felt pretty quiet recently with the Dow moving less than five basis points on three separate days this week. John points out that this has been the narrowest nine-day trading range for the Dow in nearly two years. He suggests that this lack of volatility is typical around this time of year and adds that this sort of market environment is ripe for a catalyst.
