Dow Jones futures rose 0.3% in early trading, approaching a critical resistance level near 40,850, setting the stage for a potential breakout or pullback depending on intraday momentum. The advance follows a steady climb over the past three sessions, signaling renewed investor appetite for equities ahead of the closing bell. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) and General Electric (GE) led a group of 12 stocks identified in technical buy zones based on relative strength index (RSI) momentum, price breakout patterns, and volume spikes. PLTR gained 2.7% on increased trading volume, exceeding its 50-day moving average, while GE rose 2.1% after a 4.3% surge in the prior session. Both stocks registered RSI values above 65, indicating strong upward momentum without overbought extremes. The 12 stocks in buy zones span technology, industrial, and healthcare sectors, with average trading volume rising 38% above 30-day averages. Notably, PLTR and GE accounted for nearly 40% of the collective volume increase, signaling concentrated institutional interest. These moves correlate with broader market optimism following stabilization in Treasury yields and a weaker dollar index. Market participants are monitoring the Dow’s ability to hold above 40,800, as a sustained break could trigger algorithmic buying and push the index toward 41,000. Retail traders and quantitative funds are adjusting positions ahead of the U.S. November jobless claims report due Wednesday, with sector rotation favoring growth and cyclical names.
