The Dow Jones (US30) has shifted toward a bearish short-term outlook, trading near 52,335 after retreating from the recent wave (x) and Z peak around 52,900. The Elliott Wave count preserves the completed W-X-Z structure, with the latest high suggesting a potential corrective termination. Price has fallen sharply from the upper region of the ascending channel, weakening the previous bullish momentum. Compared with October 22, the anticipated upward extension has been followed by a visible reversal. The blue projection allows a temporary rebound toward 52,500 before renewed selling pressure potentially drives the index toward 51,350. The annotated 51,814 level remains an important structural support reference, while a sustained recovery above the recent peak would challenge the bearish outlook.
