SPY:

SPY gapped lower this morning and never looked back, trending lower all day until it bounced off its lows at 154.28. This has been the support we mentioned a few times; it is the middle of this range that SPY has been trending in. The close above this level shows once more how important it is. Short-term SPY is experiencing resistance right at 155.39, as this level capped the rally off the low today. If SPY can get above this, there is a chance for further upside at least to the opening levels from Wednesday around 156.32. We have hit the 3% drop that topically occurs with an overbought Piker Signal, so we need to watch levels to determine if we will get a bounce or more downside until oversold condition occurs.

Below 154.28 is bearish, above 156.32 things get a little bullish and the key level is 153.39.

SPY
QQQ: QQQ were affected by AAPL’s sell off, and unlike SPY the QQQ failed to get above key support at 68.30 (first light blue line). In fact, this level acted as resistance and provides us with a key level to watch. If QQQ can get above this, the bulls might be able to run. The QQQ’s did find support around former lows between 67.64 and 67.34. We still want to remain bearish on the Q’s unless there's a break above 68.30, looking for a move lower back to 67.34.
QQQ
DIA: The Dow continues its trend of being the least bearish of the indices. DIA sold off during Wednesday morning with the market. It formed a double bottom around 145.42, but failed to get any higher than Tuesday's lows and the highs from 4/2, which are all acting as resistance which is the 146.56. Of all the charts, the Dow looks like a normal pullback after a breakout. Things don’t get bearish till it gets below 145.17.
