Bullish Scenario after Retracement: Longs above 39150 with TP: 39300, TP2: 39500, and TP3: 39700, with S.L. below 39000 or at least 1% of account capital*. Apply a trailing stop.

Technical structure and volume profile analysis. H4 chart:

The US30 index (Dow Jones) reached a new all-time high at 39746.80 after the recent Fed meeting, resulting in a 1.73% surge solely in yesterday's American session and a 2.66% increase since the beginning of the week.

This ascent confirms the continuation of the bullish trend, leaving the last relevant support at the level of 39054.45, implying that this trend will remain active as long as the indicated support is not decisively broken or with two confirmation moves, considering the round level of 40000 as the next buying target.

Under the current scenario, there's an accumulation of volume around 39707.19, indicating the formation of a selling zone reflecting bear entry to cause a descent, at least towards the February broken resistance and previous all-time high at 39304.50, and even seeking liquidity towards the last buying zone around 39150, from where considering a new entry by the bulls for a new bullish expansion towards 40000.

If the quotes break the point of control (POC) during the initial sessions at 39707.19, it suggests that the bulls still have the upper hand, which may cause the price to move towards 39800 and 39900. This move might happen without any correction to address the volume inefficiency left after yesterday's surge.

On the other hand, an aggressive descent and the consequent decisive break not only of the buying zone but also of the support at 39054.45, will cause a bearish reversal with targets in the buying zones below it between 38838 and 38632 with an expected retracement from each of them.

Indicators: The overbought RSI may begin to decline to seek a new balance around the midpoint, confirming the start of the correction. The vertical volume has been showing increasing volume on each ascent of the week, so the retracement should show decreasing volume supporting the expected short correction.

*POC (Point of Control) = Point of Control - Orange lines: It is the level or zone where the highest volume concentration occurred. If there was a bearish movement from it previously, it is considered a selling zone and forms a resistance zone. Conversely, if there was a bullish impulse previously, it is considered a buying zone, usually located at lows, forming support zones.
