Summary

*yet another new low for the 'old leader' - Transports, @ 6934.
--

The daily/weekly close was very bearish, as the sp' hit the target zone of 1920/00. There is SERIOUS threat of an opening gap lower under the 1900 threshold.. with empty air to the Aug' low of 1867.

The market will likely see a floor next Mon/Tuesday... before battling upward (upside/bounce target will be dependent on where we floor).

a little more later...
