Well, that was interesting yesterday, and that was a really impressive move on equity indices that finally ended the longest trading period in SPX history without a 5% retracement. The mindless bullish euphoria has ended for the moment, and overall, we should be back in a more two-way market environment for a while. In terms...

06th Feb 2018 I was looking for a decline of more than 5% from the high on SPX to signal that the market was normalizing into a more two-way trading environment, and that has been hit today, and then some.
