I was hoping for a black Tuesday today - but US has still got to open so there's hope.

Panic surely comes first, then the drop

The US didn't make its usual retracement of the previous day's losses ... this looks pretty gloomy to me.

Would this be an unclosed gap? i.e. a downside breakaway gap? (I don't have detailed charts).

57perc-loud shrieking; 38perc-sobbing; 15perc-stuff trickling down the leg. Oh, you meant in the markets?

Presuming the gap rule still applies - and presuming we don't suddenly rally on a MPC decision to cut rates or something ... I'd call it a break-away. But until tomorrow is finished and closes lower than today, I won't be surprised to see a sudden swing trade. Currently hovering on a temporary support level.

fed MPC starts today. Wont see any kind of reversal until that is done on thurday and also waiting to find out if bernanke get reappointed (he will but its not certain till its announced) I suspect we'll drop or at least trend down slowly until after that.

Ftse gapped up. US futures still red but moderately on the rise. I'm keeping an eye out.

I'm looking out for a higher high on the Dow 15 mins to confirm the trade is safe.

Hope there's enough liquidity to take us out and the market maker doesn't dissappear at a crucial time.
