Not much to add. Price action for the broader market was a little choppy this week, with an low on Tuesday of sp'2099. Certainly, the Friday close was bearish, and does offer a fairly high probability of further downside in the first half of next week.

However, with the 200dma now at sp'2041, the equity bears face huge support in the 2040/00 zone. Sustained action under the giant 2K threshold looks out of range for at least another month or two.
