Let’s see how a Hidden Pivot support at 9076 performs before we assume the worst. It would seem to lie too close to yesterday’s bottom to survive heavy selling on the opening, but perhaps Beelzebub will show up at the bell to rain perversity on those who went home short and complacent yesterday. _______ UPDATE: With no campaign headlines cluttering up the news, investors’ focus has returned to the grim reality of a global economy headed into a Depression. Although an old Dow rally target at 9955 is still theoretically viable, the short-squeeze that would get it there seems to lack a credible catalyst at the moment. We should consequently view a downside target at 7549 as equally credible. Its midpoint sibling lies at 8667, so the Dow will need to find traction there or else.
