The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is breaking through all-time high territory and heading towards 53,000 points. However, an analysis suggests that if the critical support zone around 50,500 points collapses, the long-term upward momentum could also falter.

According to the financial specialized media FXLeaders on July 5 (local time), the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 594.83 points, or 1.14%, in recent trading, surpassing its previous psychological resistance level. The main upward targets were presented as 53,000 points to 53,214 points.

The key range to maintain the upward trend is 50,000 points to 50,517 points. The analysis suggests that the price level, which was a major resistance in the past, must hold as a new support line to sustain long-term bullish momentum.

Gross domestic product growth exceeding the trend of the U.S. economy and improvements in corporate productivity were cited as the basis for the Dow Jones Industrial Average's rise. The rally in high-priced technology stocks and semiconductor stocks, including Microsoft (MSFT) and NVIDIA (NVDA), also fueled the recent index gains.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average's unique price-weighted methodology is also influencing the uptrend. Financial and cyclically sensitive stocks with high absolute stock prices, such as Goldman Sachs (GS), exert significant influence on the index's direction. Conversely, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the benchmark interest rate to 3.75% after three rate cuts by the end of 2025 and then froze rates, and weakening expectations for further cuts in 2026 are burdening housing, home improvement, and medium-sized cyclically sensitive sectors.

Despite macroeconomic pressures, corporate earnings per share for large-cap stocks across the board are expected to grow by approximately 12%. This growth is also spreading from mega-cap tech stocks to industrial, financial, and healthcare sectors. FXLeaders suggested defending the support zone between 50,000 points and 50,517 points as a condition for the sustained long-term bullish trend of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
