The Dow Jones maintains a bearish outlook on the 4-hour chart, with the displayed price at 52,432 following rejection from the wave Z/(x) peak near 52,976. The Elliott Wave count identifies the completed W-X-Y-X-Z advance and a subsequent decline labeled blue wave i, followed by a developing wave ii rebound. Since October 23, the projected correction has progressed, while the recovery remains below the previous peak. The blue projection anticipates wave ii reaching the 50.0%–61.8% Fibonacci zone near 52,550–52,650 before renewed selling pressure toward approximately 51,650. A break below the annotated 52,053 downside reference would strengthen bearish continuation, whereas recovery above 52,976 would invalidate the marked bearish scenario.
