\\n

The Dow Jones got off to a flat start to the new session, trading at 32,900.

\\n

Momentum evaluation shows The Relative Strength Index indicates the Dow is in overbought condition. Asset volatility analysis shows that the upper Bollinger band is at 32,957, indicating a downward move might be next.
