Successful Retest?
The same can be said about the overall market: We’re looking at a retest of the lows from October 10 (840 intraday) and October 27 (848 close). If those lows can hold, we’re adding even more support to the market at those levels and putting in place a potential bottom.

A little before 1pm EST today we broke through the October 10 intraday low around 840 on the S&P 500. The S&P then dropped another 20 points in the next 10 minutes all the way down to 819. Since then, in the last hour and a half, the S&P has rallied about 50 points (6%) from that level all the way back to around 870 (S&P Intraday Chart).
This has the feel of a successful retest. This is just more confirmation that a bottom is being put in place and stocks are to be owned at these levels – at least for the intermediate term.
