S&P 500 closes in an official 'death cross,' a chart pattern that could signal more pain ahead
A scary chart pattern, called the 'death cross,' formed in the chart of the S&P 500 on Friday, signaling traders that there could be more selling ahead. The death cross formation appeared in the chart of the small cap Russell 2000 index just over three weeks ago, and the Russell has lost 4.4 percent since then. The death cross means the market could stay "lower for longer," said one technical strategist.

The Russell 2000 Index of smaller firms fell 0.8 percent Wednesday, capping a five-day decline that erased its year-to-date gain for a second time in as many months.

When the stock market's direction is especially uncertain, stock charts can be road maps, and now some are sending warnings. The S&P 500 closed below its 200-day moving average for a second day Tuesday, the sign of a possible trend change, while the small-cap Russell 2000 appears to be heading for a negative "death cross" formation. Market bellwether Apple closed below its 200-day moving average Tuesday, and if it stays there, strategists say it could take another leg lower and signal more negative sentiment for tech and the broader market.
