Here come the comparisons. The last two times we saw 6% gains in the Nasdaq were the ends of the 2020 and 2018 bear markets. However, it happened twice in October 2008 and that was not the bottom. Ditto May 2002, Apr 2001, Dec 2000....you get the point.

Not forecasting but the last time the S&P 500 retraced more than 50% of its then-bear market, it was supposed to be a 100% chance the bull was back.

@AntithetosCptl @WalterDeemer We have no studies showing that back-to-back 80% upside days mean anything more than a temporary surge in buying. As you point out, a major selling day (90% downside) just before these upside days is a different story as it shows the exhaustion of Supply and return of Demand.

@WalterDeemer Obviously, I cannot give away the store but this is the first 90% Downside Day since November. An isolated 90% Down doesn't tell us much more than volatility in a downtrend at this point.

For those interested, the July 7 80% Upside Day had very low total volume. Investors put a toe in the water but there was no money behind it. That speaks to sentiment that is not washed out, despite the surveys.

@WalterDeemer Officially an 80% Upside Day. We got the 90+% points but our official volume was 89.84%. The end of day WSJ data did beat 90% at the close but they keep updating for hours. The closing diaries page today also shows sub-90%.

@WalterDeemer We show that this was the first back-to-back 80% Up in 2023. The last 90% Down was March 9. Keep in mind that an 80-80 Up is not meaningful unless following a 90% Down and in a downtrend.
