The blue-chip index has traded above that long-term gauge since June 4, as the recovery from the coronavirus-induced rout accelerated.
The index remains well above its short-term 50-day moving average at 24,268.36, however. It's important to note that the Dow is remains in a bearish condition, known as a death cross, where the long-term moving average is above the short-term average. Markets have been under pressure on Thursday after the Federal Reserve painted a grim picture of the domestic economic outlook and as cases of COVID-19 were resurging in some 20 states in the U.S.
It's not like markets were overvalued, or anything. 🙄😷
