Some thing to ponder, besides the 872.50 21 day moving avg on the daily chart.... 1008.50 top- 739 low was 269.5 points and a 50% retracement is ...(drumroll),... 873.75 Small wonder the 872.50-877 zone is giving at least some short term resistance. Also note that the entire crash from the May top at 1441.00 to the crash low at 739.00 is 702 points. 0.236 retracement comes in at 904.50. REMEMBER THE DAILY PROJECTION OF 904.50?(STILL VALID UNLESS 739 IS TOUCHED AGAIN).

Yesterday if I had taken the [email protected] out of that flag at 8:13, I would have gotten whacked as it headed to 860.

GM all. Re the news, fwiw, I believe the earlier spike up to 74.25 wasn't related as much to the ECB or BOE rate cuts (which were pretty much baked in) but to strong WalMart SS sales. On the heals of that news MRK guided below expectations and DD announced a big jobs cut. The later two offset the WMT good news which seems WMT specific.
