Technical level to watch in Dow and SPX after moody's bank downgrades

This was the 7th straight week when the government data showed less jobless claim at the time of reporting and then revised it higher following week. This kind of revision doesn't have any impact on the market. Last week, jobless claim was revised higher by 3k. So this week headline number was 387k while expectation was 380k, which was below expectation by 4k instead of 7k. It was the 12th straight week rise in the jobless claim.

Initially, market rallied up on this bad data, but it was short lived after Spain asked for additional 60 B in the rescue fund which would leave EFSF with 35 B. Lets, not forget that Italy, Greece Cyprus, and Ireland are still in trouble and 35 B is not enough to rescue this countries. Dow was down 250 point, S&P500 was down 30 point at the close as the fear of bank downgrade was built up.
After hours, Moody downgraded 15 banks and almost all the bank stocks rallied on this bad news. It proves again, "this market goes in opposite direction of what majority think." Many took short position in bank's stock to take the advantage of sell off  on possible downgrade but the opposite happened. I think because of the downgrades, funding cost and collateral will rise and this will impact bank's earning. Any rally in the bank is a good selling opportunity in coming days.

Trading Strategies For June 22st:

Based on the chart tomorrow, market should open higher but it could sell off if 1320 and 12,510 are broken. Since Monday, Dow is down 150 point.  I still think there is more sell off to come tomorrow. http://tinyurl.com/6wcx273

Dow expected to open higher and if it's able to survive 12510 resistance there could be recovery  rally.  Dow closed in bearish zone but in oversold condition

S&P500 is expected to open higher as it closed in oversold bearish zone. If S&P500 survives 1320, then there could be recovery rally or else S&P500 is falling below 1300.

For Bullish sentiment to continue: Dow needs to break 12625, while S&P500 needs to break 1328. 

For Bearish sentiment to continue:  Dow needs to break 12510 while S&P500 needs to break 1320

In the chart below Red circle represent Bearish sentiment, Blue Circle represent Bullish sentiment.
