The Dow Jones Index is approaching a very important level
The Dow Jones (Dow) is approaching its all time high and this level is an important level as everyone knows that this is the highest the Dow has ever reached. I would be very surprised if the high got taken out on the first attempt, so for this reason I would short the Dow at 14198 with a 40 point stop during market hours only.
I won't short this level if the Dow closes very near to this level from the previous day, the attempt should be from a far away distance like 100 points away. Whenever it closes near a major resistance then the chances of a breakout are higher so hence why this trade should be done from a far away basis only.
Another reason for the short is due to the double top possibility whenever I see a share or index approach...
