I think the real suspense whether there will be another capitulation just like august when market reopen next week. I am leaning towards market want to keep that suspense alive.
SPX .. capitulation days in the past have a similar pattern.. sharp drop in the morning reverse in the aft… vs.. down weak bounce then down into the close.. usual bear move. add to sm longs
From JPM research "The bigger picture fundamental backdrop hasn’t changed: the best-case multiple/earnings math (16x and $120) gets the SPX only to ~1920 and people are justified to haircut both numbers given the environment. Thus rallies should continue to get faded. For the very near-term, the risks over the next ~96 hours are prob. skewed more to the upside than the downside"

Historically, the average ROE has been approximately two times the long term corporate AAA bond yield - this is a key relationship.

Last August sell off was triggered when Bridgewater and their clones got caught on their "Fed has our back" bet when both stocks and bonds dropped below their triggers and they had to dump. Only the Kardashian fan base is unaware that the market is on thin ice by all historical measures, and Bridgewater got burned last year so you know they have changed their rules. I just don't see any signs of panic, so I don't see any bottom. Besides Gandalf said go short

download the excel info.. and look into the yearly lows, the deep lows during sharp pull backs.. have higher/deeper readings.. but "think" we may bounce into the close.. fwiw.
