In fact the 200 day EMA is resistence and the 50 day EMA is support. Why use EMA? It minimizes the influence of the "high" days from last Sept & early Oct, before the cliff plunge. Go to BigCharts and try it. Then do the same for DJIA, DJTA, RUT and (the only exception) NASDAQ. The 50 day is likely about to be broken by all of these!
