Dow Jones Japan Index dropped about 1.5%. Follow through below short-term support would indicate no more than retracement to the rising trendline.

Dow Jones Hong Kong Index has fallen about 2.0% so far. Breach of support at 472 signals a correction.

Dow Jones Singapore Index has fallen 1.0% in the morning and we can expect further weakness in the p.m.

European markets are likely to open lower. If the US follows and finishes the day with a weak close, negative sentiment could start to feed on itself, tipping global markets into a correction. Overall, the primary trend in the US and Australia remains positive.
