I think the current conditions are optimal for a swing bear attempt now. Very little to risk with stops above the high entering here just under 5200 and potential for a big move. If SPX rejects here, could see about 1,000 point drop.

I struggle to understand the thinking of anyone who's been in the market over 20 yrs and is currently swing bull. Quite literally, 100% of the times you've seen this in the last 50 yrs we crashed. We've never been off the high this long and not crashed. Can anyone share logic?

Implied move if this is a bull trap is massive. We'd be looking at 2015 levels in the Nasdaq before any really serious support (And this might not be a low, it's just a good support). This is the scale of what we can expect if we do break.

Market crashes of over 50% in indices simply can not happen without the monthly charts first showing "Oversold" signals. Because a market becomes more volatile and the ATR increases in a down move, it's a requirement for it to become oversold before a crash can happen.
