Nasdaq Composite : -- Technical -- Index continues to make new intraday lows and has broken below previously identified support at 1731. Look for very near-term support in the area of 1720 followed up by more important support in the range of 1697/1702 which represents its 50-day simple moving average as well as previous congestion. To the upside, look for 1731 to turn and serve as modest intraday resistance followed by additional overhead at 1740.

The Best explanation I've seen:

14:12 ET Market Weakness : Traders noting a host of reasons for market weakness today. The main catalyst being cited is market being marked up last week to boost yr-end numbers for mutual funds; due to t +3 trade settlement, funds needed only to prop up stocks through Friday. Argentine debt restructuring issues also a major factor weighing on the market.
