As the second algo-crazy spike in stocks in 2 days draws to a close, it is perhaps worth considering BofAML's Macneil Curry's perspective on the S&P 500 - despite the potential for further near-term strength, equity gains are corrective and downside risk remain...

Today's action was much better news for bulls after a wide reversal swing. The S&P managed to inch a 'bear trap', although it will be vulnerable to mild selling tomorrow.

One of the PIIGS is breaking down today. PIIGY #1 (Italy) is breaking a wedge today by daily chart. It is just a wedge break and need not drop too far (often about 1/3 to 1/2 of the wedge will do). The 50 day averages should decide on that.
