oder Fettfinger-Fehler, sondern eine ernst zu nehmende Vorwarnung. Mit dem heutigen Fall des DOW und des SPX (unten) unter ihre jeweiligen 200-Tage-Linien sehen viele technische Analysten das Tor zu einem neuen Bärenmarkt-Downleg aufgestoßen.

May 20, 2010, 11:30 a.m. EDT Breaking support Commentary: Most technical analysts are poised to turn bearish after today
Stock market breaks major support level
By MarketWatch
ANNANDALE, Va. (MarketWatch) -- Stocks' big drop today is sending the market below several major technical support levels.
If the market doesn't recover by the close, most technical analysts who haven't already turned bearish will finally do so.
As of mid-day trading in New York, for example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA 10,193, -251.59, -2.41%) is below its close on May 7, the day after the infamous "Flash Crash" that saw an intra-day decline of nearly 1,000 points. The May 7 close, of course, marked the low -- until today -- of the correction that began from the April highs.
In failing to stay above its May 7 close, the market in effect is saying that the Flash Crash was not entirely a fluke caused by a computer glitch or a "fat finger." A number of technical analysts I follow are considering the failure to be a significant development.
Another major technical support level that is being broken today is the 200-day moving average. (auch beim SPX, siehe Chart unten - A.L.). Many traders use that average to grade the market's major trend (as opposed to its shorter-term trend), and with both the Dow and the S&P 500 index (SPX 1,086, -28.94, -2.60%) breaking below their respective 200-day moving averages, a number of technical analysts will declare that we are in a major bear market.
One of the few technical analysts who has indicated that he will nevertheless remain bullish, even after today, is Jack Schannep, editor of TheDowTheory.com. That's because, on his reading of the venerable Dow Theory, the market's gyrations over the last month don't satisfy the preconditions for a sell signal.
For him, such a sell signal would materialize only if the market, during its first significant recovery attempt from the current slide, fails to exceed its April highs and then proceeds to break below its correction lows.
For now, though, Schannep is in the minority.

Mit dem Fall unter 1100 "durchschlug" der SP-500 die 200-Tage-Linie, die als wichtiger Support galt. Die 50-Tage-Linie hat er bereits vor 2 Wo. hinter sich gelassen. Heute könnte der SPX wegen Optionsverfall bei 1075 (SK) "gepinnt" werden (wenn's knüppeldick kommt, auch bei 1050).
