S&P 500 cracks 50 day moving average - Again

Going back to last November's election, the S&P only remained below the 50 day moving average when there were TWO separate events that unnerved traders/investors. The first was the election of the current President which was greeted as a negative for business. The second was the drama surrounding the so-called, "fiscal cliff" drama unfolding in Washington D.C.

Once we moved past those two events, there has been only one day in which the S&P has CLOSED below the 50 day moving average. That occurred in April of this year and even then, it was only barely beneath this key level.

Today's shellacking, coming on the heels of a huge down day yesterday, has sent the index down quite significantly below the 50 day. As a matter of fact, it also fell below the former resistance level which had temporarily stymied its upward progress back in April before it gave way in May.
