The S&P downgrade of Greece and Portugal’s debt ratings whacked U.S. equities yesterday.
Lowry’s notes that the major market averages experienced their worst decline since Feb. 4th, with yesterday qualifying as a 90% Downside Day on the NYSE (94.5% of total Up/Down Volume).
The decline brought both indices to a test near term support.
