...or a lasting rally at least, possible retest sometime next week.

Check out the RSI and especially the CCI levels.

Consider that this is the largest one day drop since 9/11 2001, look at the rsi back then - it went quite abit lower than this time. Is 3 gentle days off selling and one violent one enough? It would be more typical for it to find a short term bottom on thursday or friday. This isolated gap down doesn't really look very attractive to attempt a long on...kind of like the Road Runner hanging mid-air beside the cliff! We'll see.

Last time it took 3 spikes of 1.52, 1.36 and 1.34 to do the job.....I think you are early for picking a bottom.....Plus this bottom has no fear.....none what so ever.

no fear???.....lol

blah blah blah...from cnbc
"This week's sharp swings in the market may be just the beginning.

"I think we're going to be very choppy," David Dietze. Chief Investment Strategist at Point View Financial Services, told CNBC.com. "There's a lot of investors who found themselves more exposed to equities than they were comfortable with."

Volatility can be a plus for some investors such as hedge funds. But many analysts say typical investors who want to avoid extreme risks would be wise to remain on the sidelines, at least for now.

"There's no need to rush in," said Bill Strazzullo, Chief Market Strategist with Bell Curve Trading. "If this ends up being a good buying opportunity, you don't have to rush because any advances will be met with significant selling. So you want to be cautious."

"I would sit back and let the market settle unless it were to fall further to about a 5% correction from its earlier high," agreed Larry Adam, Investment Strategist at Duetsche Bank Private Wealth Management. "If the S&P drops to 1380 - 1390, stocks become very attractive."
