The Dow is there to spoil the party given it sliced through similar support and is leading the other averages lower:

One other avenue of support is the relationship between the S&P and the Euro. The index priced in Euros is once again trading at support from January (much as the dollar-priced index), but also lows of 2003 when the cyclical bull market kicked off in the U.S. If it wasn't for the global slump the relationship would suggest excellent value for foreign investors in U.S. markets (and a chance to build a bottom). As it stands it is more a 'wait-and-see' indicator which suggests a bottom, but this bottom may not come to a fruition as it had in the past.
