For the S&P index is trading down -1.67% at 3608. That is within about 9 points of its 200 week moving average at 3599.42. two weeks ago, the NASDAQ closed just below the 200 week moving average but recovered last week. A close back below the moving average would tilt the bias back to the downside off of the longer term chart.
