The stock market suffered its biggest losses of the month on Thursday as another spike in bond yields prompted traders to dump riskier assets, especially overbought Tech stocks. Specifically, the 10-year Treasury yield surged to a peak north of 1.6%, and its highest level since last February. The Russell 2000 finished at 2,200 (-3.7%) after trading to an afternoon low of 2,196. Current and upper support at 2,200-2,175 was breached but held. A close below the latter would signal a continued backtest towards 2,150-2,125. The Nasdaq ended at 13,119 (-3.5%) following the late day tumble to 13,066. Near-term and upper support at 13,100-13,000 was tripped but held on the close back below the 50-day moving average. A drop below the latter would indicate further weakness towards 12,900-12,800. The S&P 500 closed at 3,829 (-2.5%) following the fade to 3,814 ahead of the final bell. Upper support at 3,825-3,800 was breached but held. A move below the latter and the 50-day moving average would indicate additional weakness towards 3,775-3,750. The Dow settled at 31,402 (-1.8%) after bottoming 31,293. Current and upper support at 31,500-31,250 failed to hold. A close below the latter would signal a further pullback towards 31,000-30,750 and the 50-day moving average.
