U.S. Stock Market Breaks Support: No Evidence It’s More Than A Mild Pullback

Posted: 23 Sep 2010 11:07 PM PDT

For the last couple of weeks I have been warning that short and intermediate term technical indicators were suggesting that SPX would correct soon. SPX has doggedly edged higher during that time but now appears to have rolled over.
