DOW S&P 5-day pattern

Both US markets followed the rotation back towards the 5-day 50% level on Wednesday on the news that %rates were cut, but once again followed the 5-day pattern lower.

The range volatility within the 5-day pattern over the past few days has been tremendous, and yesterday's price movement followed the pattern which often occurs during normal times of rotating back into the 50% levels and then continuing lower.

The trend within this 'weekly' timeframe is defined by the 5-day 50% level, and whilst price is trading below all higher timeframe support levels in 2008, there is nothing to guide traders on the way down other than using the 5-day pattern.

At this stage the S&P looks to be continuing down into 933 (2007 3-year lows)
