This week’s doji on the S&P 500 signals hesitancy. Reversal below the mid-point of the previous week’s candle would complete a bearish doji star reversal. Breach of support at 2750 would further strengthen the bear signal, warning of a test of 2400.
Small caps are a lot weaker, with the Russell 2000 (iShares ETF) testing support at 145. Breach would warn of a test of primary support.
