“Currently trading at 1,764.6, the 150-day moving average is still some 33points away at 1,732.2. Having already smashed through the 20 and the 50-moving day average in the past three weeks, there is nothing to say we won’tgo lower. However, with it being earnings season, a string of good companyperformances could turn the tide.”
“The S&P 500′s next level of support is 1,767-1,772 (Dec. and Jan. lows)then 1,729 (Sept.’s high & its 150 daily-moving average). Meanwhile, the nextareas of resistance: 1,776 and then 1,812 (50 daily-moving-average line). Ofcourse, if support is breached — expect much lower prices to follow.”
“Starting the year, we had three trends to trade. Sellers were able to breakthe accelerated trend at SPX 1,813-1,830ish. That was the first spot toreduce risk or change your process. Now the sellers will have their chance tobreak the intermediate trend at SPX 1,766-1,772 — if that’s your time frame,then you honor that level. A break or close below that level — then the 150-day can come into play in coming weeks at 1,733 and the 200-day under thatis 1,705. Know what you can handle.”

OMG, the S&P is down is 4% from all time highs someone please get those October1929 charts so we can analyze even more meaningless data!
A drop to the 1,670-1,700 range is well expected and healthy.
It's great watching all the weak hands sell, always is.

Don't forget there are still a lot of bulls looking for NEST and MYRA stocks to buyblindly out there. They are looking for any excuse to put in a buy order and that willhold us around 1770 to close out the month. However the smart money has beenselling over the last couple of weeks. I hit the panic button the first week of the monthand I keep fighting the urge to "buy the dip".
More dip to come as the big boys sell orders out paces the blind bulls buy orders.

If you look at the weekly chart you can see how the bears are struggling to get theSPX below 1770 level 3 times this week. Expect several more tests of that level nextweek, but if they fail, this correction ends at 6% and probably pressures new highs byMarch/April.
