Since then, DOW has traded with support[2] coming from its 50-day moving average[3].  

Major volume[4] is currently entering the picture, and the stock is rapidly moving higher.

Traders can look to $35 as its next target, but longer-term investors will probably want to hold DOW as a blue-chip cornerstone stock. 

Credit Suisse Equity Research has an “outperform” rating and $39 price target on the stock.
