Stocks had another material down session with the major indexes testing their 21-day moving averages intraday but closed above them. In addition, on an intraday basis, the DJIA (DIA) tested its support level the Nasdaq Composite (QQQQ) came within one point of its support level and the S&P 500 (SPY) came within nine points of its support level.
