Actually, that run was the spring top post May opex... and then we had the volatile move down in to June opex.
In the past in this bull, the RUT has led these V reversals, but that changed with the rally from opex in April.
For the bears, this sadly can run for some time, as we had our 50 plus point correction after 104 days without such a correction in July. Interestingly, the last extended runs were followed by shorter runs and the markets became more volatile, so it is something to watch....
April 2012 105 day rally ended 8 day correction then 21 day rally (not to new highs) to 1-May.... then whoosh down 10.5% in 34 days
April 2013 101 day rally ended 7 day correction then 34 day rally to new highs and then 33 day 7.5% correction
Based on that - the end of this week to as late as Sept opex might provide some relief for the bears.
