Todays' Session

...the SPX 500 gapped down at the Open to test short term support *1320 but upticks above support were indecisive. Consequently, the index dived further to have a go at the August 2008 Peak support *1313, currently holding

...as expected in yesterday's update, the market appears to have to do more consolidating work between the lower channel support current *1295 on the dly. 6-mth trading setup and the February 18 Peak *1344 before a bullish break-out can occur

...given the volatile trading (reversal-reversal-reversal) environment and elevated risk of an exogenous shock out of North Africa and the Middle East, a top may be already in place, but needs to be confirmed with a decisive break below *1294
