    It's the overnight limit down level, hence the "support".

    what if it breaks down? how long will be the lock?
     
  6. Yeah, thats "new support".

    Maybe one more panic drop by the bell if we see that number again.

    Until regular hours. Check out CME for details on circuit breakers.
     
  8. We get another 70 points down in ES before the next limit so I wouldn't worry about it today. Its only a ten min halt anyway.
     
  9. Not clear on how overnight circuit breakers work, but ES futures clearly halted at 1255.50 for more than an hour at about 2-3 this morning, maybe longer.

    Actually, no, overnight they can't go down more than 70 points, period. Check out CME's website!
