Before the rapid retracement in late trading, the Dow and S&P 500 index were both more than 10 percent below their all-time high close marks, in territory considered a technical correction.

Bill Meehan, chief market analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald, Darien, Conn. said there were several factors pushing the market down Tuesday afternoon, including the spike in gold prices and bearish remarks from an influential technical analyst at Prudential.

And the reason for the late comeback?

''Take your pick,'' Meehan said, citing everything from automatic program trading to the oversold condition of the market. Since the steep sell-off last week that broke through the bottom of the summer-long trading range, analysts have been saying the market has been searching for a new bottom. Meehan said it is ''absolutely not'' there yet. ''There was no mass capitulation,'' he said.

Analyst said the market continues to worry about next Tuesday's meeting of the Federal Reserve policy-setting committee, which will decide if interest rates should be raised to slow the economy
