Uptrend Conditions

The Dow Jones (DJI) price chart shows signs of a potential trend reversal toward a bullish direction.

This signal appears when the MACD line crosses above the Signal line—an area where the MACD line cuts the Signal line from below.

Such a crossover is typically considered a signal for price growth and defines a potential entry point for buy positions.
