NFTRH; US Index Bounce Parameters

Since the market is up handily in ‘pre’, I wanted to get you a look at what it would take to negate the technical damage of the last 2 days, with very simple daily charts of the headline US indexes (plus the SOX).  This can be applied generally, to any index or stock for that matter.  As of now in pre-market, these items are still well below key resistance levels.
