DOW is in a confirmed uptrend, trading above both its 50-day ($30.26) and 200-day ($31.07) moving averages. An RSI of 63.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +36.6% compares to +20.5% for SPY (beat the market by 16.1%). The current 24.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
