I'll take a shot at from the "liquidity" side. There's a last residual of it around in the form of TIOs and some Fed "hurricane blast" repos (21.5 roll off Wed and Thurs) and coupon passes:
bullandbearwise.com

It's going away, and we are entering into a tough period for Treasury financing, there's always if's (the FCB's come back big? or very large Fed monetizing?), but that will really pressure all the markets. Tax receipts can be tracked here (table IV), might be important now:
fms.treas.gov
Steve Northwood covers this aspect in his 26 and 27th writings:
wallstreetexaminer.com

Add to that, the FCBs are really MIA, having actually liquidated $10 billion in the last three weeks. I think we now get another perfect storm (on top of the very serious energy one).

Even without those issues, there's no real money around for stocks:

That's high too, there's been seven straight weeks of domestic equity fund outflows since.

market is trading on 100% technicals right now.

makes sense with 8000 hedge funds, the majority of which are just glorified daytraders. of course, when the whole market trades the same indicators, the indicators become useless. the people who make the most money off technical analysis are always the purveyors of technical analysis systems, the modern pseudoscientific version of astrology and tarot cards.
