Today marked one of the worst collapses in financial history as the Dow lost 778 points or almost 7% as the House failed to pass a bill for 750 billion dollars to help the credit markets. The Nasdaq had it even worse losing over 9% or 199 points! Brutal, absolutely brutal!

The DOW JONES is contained within two down trending Trend Lines and today these two trend lines are at the 12250 points for the top line and between 10500 and 10250 points for the bottom line.
