I wholeheartedly agree. But I also ask myself "Why?" did it occur. Were there a boatload of incredible earnings reports? - No

A 400 point run-up on extremely negative financial news is as a poster said earlier - bull trap.

The massive volatility in the market is what I find worth noting. 350 pt up days followed by 400 pt down days. This is the most volatile market with the wildest and widest swings I can recall in recent history. I wasn’t paying as much attention during 2000-2001. Was it this bad?
