Summary
The mainstream have been (understandably) looking forward to Dow breaking the giant psy' level of 20k. The Dow came real close on Wednesday afternoon, with a peak of 19966.
Today opened a little higher, but there was increasing weakness into the afternoon, as there are just very few willing to buy at these levels, or ahead of the weekend.
Right now, Dow 20k looks far more likely after the Christmas holiday break.. than before.

*Bonus chart, UK, monthly
With just nine trading days left of the year, my home market of the UK is battling to break AND hold above multi-decade resistance of 7k. A Dec', or Jan' close in the 7000s would be extremely bullish, and offer further basic upside to 8k by late spring/early summer 2017.
I realise many of you (those in the USA) don't care about other world markets, but they can be used as indirect indicators of where the US market might be headed in the months, and even years ahead.
