A short-term buy signal was triggered at Friday’s close: the “oscillator differential” buy signal. This occurs when the two breadth oscillators, which had spread far apart in recent weeks, come back within 200 points of each other. Historically, this has been a reliable short-term, one-week buy signal.
The market, as measured by $SPX, continues to fall at a rapid rate. It has broken down below the lower end of the trading range that had existed since last November. It also broke through a support line at 5670 (higher horizontal red line on the $SPX chart in Figure 1). The next support area is likely to be near 5400, which was last September's lows.

The speed of the market descent from the highs of February 20th to the lows (so far) of March 6th has been swift. The lower end of the trading range had been between 5770 and 5870, but that has been breached this week. There is a support area at 5670, which dates all the way back to last summer (July). It is the lower horizontal line on the chart in Figure 1.

The stock market has quickly retraced the entire trading range after yet another false upside breakout. From there, it has worked its way down the lower end of the range. Yesterday's action closed the gap at 5870 on the $SPX chart (circle in Figure 1). The support levels from 5770 to 5860 are now being tested. There was a false downside breakout back in early January. It would be particularly obnoxious of $SPX if it were to engineer another one of those!
