The market is rattled, and should generally fall across the entirety of Friday. A break of the recent 1538 low will open up a swift test of the important 50 day MA @ 1530. A close in the 1520s is viable..best bear case is arguably 1525/20.

Summary
More than anything today, I think bears need to be patient.
If the hourly count is correct, then we will proceed to much lower lows by the late afternoon.

What I think should be clear to everyone now...the top was indeed sp'1573.
Anyone hoping 1576 will be broken..well, that's surely off the table for at least 3-4 months..and that's assuming the long term bullish trend continues - regardless of how lousy the economy gets.
*two other indexes have conclusively broken the rising support from the November low - Nasdaq Composite, and NYSE Composite. The SP'500..is 'borderline'.
There is no doubt now..the November up cycle...is complete.

UPDATE 11.18am I can understand if some bears are starting to get annoyed..but really, this is just a natural intra-day bounce...to be expected.
Still expecting a major snap through 1538 later today..which should open up a major late day drop.

UPDATE 11.33am.. I suppose you could count this mornings bounce as a micro'2 of todays main'3.
If that is the case, we should see a VERY significant drop beginning in the next hour or two, taking out the 1538 low.
Could get a little exciting.
