Profit Targets/Traders/Long term investors:
Traders & Long term investors will be buying a lot at 2,850 and at 2,650. The market will bounce a lot at these levels. Bounce failure or not will depend on global economic recovery or lack thereof. Weekly closes below these levels would be a big concern for the possibility of big additional losses (up to 25%+ like in 2000/2008). Bears will be covering & taking a lot of profits at these levels.
