S&P500 daily chart

The market is resuming to the downside after a few days of consolidation. The S&P500 is now in a bear market as it dropped more than 20% from the recent record high while trading in 37-month lows. The drop below the 2300 level can lead to more declines towards the 2200 and 2000 price levels in the medium term. The 2400, 2500 and 2600 price levels should act as resistance.
