SPY 6 months, daily candles Failed to see any follow thru from the previous days bounce, and found new lows on the daily. Looking more like a bear flag than not, as we keep tapping on recent lows/June lows.(support)
359.70 yesterdays low
358.72 the pre mkt low from 9/28
354.15-354.87 some weekly support going back to Nov '20
350.51 weekly support from Nov '20 (resistance)
367.11 the high from yesterday
