The SPX 500 turned downward anew after finding resistance above the 2100.00 figure, dropping the most in five months. A daily close below the 38.2% Fibonacci expansion at 2089.40 exposes the 50% level at 2081.20. Alternatively, a reversal above the 23.6% Fib at 2099.50 clears the way for a challenge of the July 31 high at 2115.90.
