The US market managed a relatively incredible minor gain, on a day when most world markets were significantly lower. No doubt the QE is continuing to prop up the market, and until it ends, equity bears face a relentless uphill battle. Weekly trend is still 'moderately bearish'.

Summary
I think the above chart will suffice to end today.
Any move above the 10MA - currently sp'1628, and we'll likely proceed to 1650/60s.
A break <1600, and the market will proceed lower in another wave to the 1530s.
