A nice bounce today, but on declining volume. Still, it's a start. So far, the Dow (first chart) is holding 9500-9600 support, and the S&P (second chart) is holding the 1080 area nicely. A break of those levels would be a sign that the next leg down has begun. The minimum target for this decline remains 1052 on the S&P. One trader who follows linear regressions noted that the Nasdaq, the S&P and the Wilshire 5000 pierced their 13 week lower lines today, a bearish development that suggests an eventual retest of the September lows for the market. The S&P closed right under 1098 resistance, and 1110 just above that looks very tough. The Dow closed right at 9750-9775 resistance. 9825-9860 is next and then 9900. If the Nasdaq (third chart) can get through 1830, it could be headed for 1860-1870. 1745-1768 is critical support.
