Support vs Over the Cliff

 Turning Point - Up or Down?
SPY 20 Day, Hourly - 9.9.11 - Technical Analysis has its Moments.  This is a Moment.  SPY price action is at support and at the same time we can see a "Lower High" from 3 Days ago.  That is Bearish to a Technician.  The Risk in this market is both to he upside and downside.  On Balance the move appears to be to the downside.
