The Dow is making a bold statement as it holds the resistance breakout from November and exceeds flag resistance. The Dow broke to new high with a move above 15700 in early November and the 15600-15700 area turns support. This level held on the throwback, which formed a falling flag. This small correction ended on Wednesday with a break above the upper trend line. The breakout at 15800 is the first level to watch for a failure.
