It's not a perfect comparison but it's close enough to keep an eye on. Let's just go with we don't want to see a big decline giving back the last two day's gains. $SPX

the point is that this week isn't a guarantee that we're out of the woods. Someone out there is loading up on $SPXL, or canceling stops, or getting irresponsibly long because of the last 4 days.
That's Helene's pinned tweet in a nutshell, so lets go with stay disciplined.

Yes. We are experiencing similar price action to that year and 2015. This year (at least the first 6 months) will be a big "correction through time" period. Large range like those years. The outcome is what will define a new macro uptrend or we experience a 2008 type drawdown.

Also don't invest based on a sample size of 1. The market fools most of the people most of the time. Stay disciplined as the man says.

That bounce higher ended with a gap up on the open after the weekend and down she went afterwards for the whole month of Dec 2018. Well spotted!

With the amount of liquidity lost this year you would expect a higher volume this week for such a rally. All it takes is one nuke and market is destroyed…not taking long or short here
