The S&P 500 has been holding up above the 50-day average but that is either being tested or is going to change here very soon. At $133.27, the 50-day moving average is $133.15. The 200-day moving average is down at $130.60 today.
On the DJIA, the DIAMONDS are just now trading under the key 50-day moving average. At $125.28, that key moving average is $125.56.
The the PowerShares QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: QQQ) is down at $62.76 today and the 50-day moving average is $62.86. Now that the 50-day moving average has broken, the 200-day moving average is down at $61.25.
If you notice the trends here, the more important 200-day moving averages are all very close to being hit now.
We can tell you in more detail what the cause is, but you already know it: Greece, PIIGS, Europe, China, weakness in BRIC nations, a strong dollar, and on and on. Soon it will be the coming fiscal cliff… No wonder no one wants to read news about the stock market these days.
