* Going into this morning's open, key support zone circa 2660 on S&P futures (15 min. chart) had been successfully tested twice -- which, combined with the rally to 2686, led me to think positively heading into normal trading hours this morning * But after the first hour of trading, the 2660 zone was decisively broken and the market duly continued to drop * Only positive at this stage is that S&P futures bounced off 2576 support near the close; * But, then again, this market has lately been slicing through support zones -- and the firmest area of support does not come until another 100 points or so down in 2490-2500 area. * Bottom line: the probabilities continue to favor the short side
