Technical patterns

How low could the S&P 500 go?

It is no secret that stocks tend to retrace 50% of a rally in a bull market. In S&P 500 terms the average could decline to 1200-1225, which is about the halfway point between the bottom of July 2010 and the peak of February.

What I found interesting is that this range is also the top of the S&P 500 in April 2010.

Right now the S&P 500 stands at 1295. The S&P 500 could decline another 7% (give or take a reasonable margin of error).

When will the bottom could take place, if the above scenario becomes a reality? We have developed several indicators giving us the duration of the decline. More details in The Peter Dag Portfolio.
