Stocks above their 50 day MA

This chart shows the % of S&P 500 stocks above their 50 day MA.

A bounce is coming. It should have come today and it should come tomorrow - the problem is that this is hard to time under normal market conditions.

Note: it will be interesting to see if the short-sale ban actually gets lifted tomorrow and the effect it will have.
I would like it to get lifted because I think it will slightly help reign in option prices and bid/ask spreads.

Below are a few stocks to keep on the watchlist. You'll have to excuse the long-term charts but when so many securities are making global lows, it's necessary to zoom out to gain some relative perspective.


AAPL
AMZN
GOOG
JNJ
MA
RIMM
OXY
CHK
