The Dow Jones Industrial Average staged a strong rebound after sharp declines in mid-April, climbing from 38,350 to 39,850, surpassing important technical resistance levels. However, the index currently faces a crucial challenge at the 39,870–40,125 area, which represents a double-barrier that will determine whether the upside continues or whether we witness a resumption of decline.
