Friends are so worried about what happen , what happen today?
Several reasons to be considered here,
1:
“The world's currency structure has changed; the dollar is losing its status as the world currency,” said Xu Jian, a Chinese central bank vice director, yesterday. “We will favor stronger currencies over weaker ones, and will readjust accordingly,” confirmed Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of China's National People's Congress, at the same conference.
And that was all she wrote for the U.S. dollar.
While China has yet to formally announce a change in its foreign exchange reserves, the allusion was enough to spook traders. Here’s the breakdown:
Euro: $1.47 -- an all-time high versus the dollar
Pound: $2.10 -- 26-year high versus the dollar
Canadian dollar: $1.10 -- rose almost 2 cents in one day, a new all-time high
Australian dollar -- 93.9 cents -- gained over a cent overnight, to a new 23-year high
Yen: 113 -- gained a full point versus the dollar to 2-month highs
The dollar fell against every other actively traded currency… 16 in all.
Profit-taking has since chased down several of these currencies from their peaks, but as we write, all remain above previous highs.
2:
Oil prices also responded to the increasingly weak dollar, rallying as high as $98 this morning. $100 oil… please… it’s in the bag, baby.
3:
The former largest automaker in the world, GM, announced a staggering $39 billion loss in the third quarter. Shares fell over 5% in premarket trading after the U.S. automaker revealed the second largest quarterly corporate loss for an S&P 500 company…ever.
GM attributed the losses to a somewhat complicated charge involving unused tax credits, as well as mortgage losses from its since divested financial arm, GMAC.
====================
Overall, market will find bottom around 200 ma.

I would like to add the New York senate probing FNM FRE further the worries about the financial.
Looking forward to the rally though.
yes, we may have a quick rally from Friday in my view , considering today's hammer shape.
