The Asian stock markets were the driving force for the global bull run now these markets are under very real pressure. Moving on to the S&P e mini Futures, they couldn't hold the breakout over resistance at 1207. Until Friday the pullback had been orderly, the increased volume on selling suggests, institutions were involved.

The question is will the 21 day ema currently at 1192 approx hold this week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys.
