What is happening to stock market right now?

We are seeing the market indices weaken significantly in recent weeks. All indices are hitting new lows this week except for Russell 2000 which is trying to find support at its 50 and 200 days moving average.

Many growth stocks are not doing well if not getting butchered. Some cyclical and value stocks are still doing well as noted in accumulated industry groups below specifically in some financial, commodity/energy and travel related stocks.

Overall this week, the market is not performing well.

Index Sep. 27 - Oct. 1
Nasdaq -3.20%
S&P 500 -2.21%
Dow Jones -1.36%
Russell 2000 -0.29%



What is the current support level?

Nasdaq, S&P 500 rebound from a new recent low after five consecutive down days. It is still quite far below its 50 days moving average. 

Dow Jones also rebound after it came down closer to its 200 days moving average. 

Russell 2000, perhaps the best showing index, rebound from its 200 days moving average as the 10, 21, 50 and 200 days moving average converge.
