As you can see the Dow has spent a good number of years inside of this rising channel. It broke above the channel in the late 1990's and become support at the 2002-2003 lows.

In the 2007-2008 time frame, once support broke, the Dow fell hard for a few months.

Now the Dow is testing 70-year channel support this morning.

Carl Icahn has expressed concerns that the stock market could fall a large percentage. See Carl's concerns HERE

Support is support until broken and the Dow right now it hitting one heck of a support line.

Should this support fail to hold, the little boys comments above, say it all!
