Dow Likely to Drop to 10,600: Charts

The rough ride for equities may not be over, according to the charts. After losing 500 points on Thursday, the Dow could drop another 700 point before finding some support, Darryl Guppy, CEO of Guppytraders.com told CNBC on Friday morning.

U.S. stocks lost more than 4% in Thursday's session.

Guppy believes the 3 major U.S. indices - Dow[.DJI 11383.68 -512.76 (-4.31%) ], S&P 500[.SPX 1200.07 -60.27 (-4.78%) ] and Nasdaq [.IXIC 2556.39 -136.68 (-5.08%) ]are likely to hit their downside targets.
