Maybe a weak bounce.

One of the best sign is the activity of zombies (pennies). Zombies are still alive, although not skyrocketing like they were 3 weeks ago. The market slide will bottom out when the zombies return where they belong. I.e, when speculative money finds value in beaten down mid and large cap stocks.

Have you considered the impact of energy cost? It is usually one major factor on cost of goods, including food. If energy cost continue to remain the same, or continue to go up, it could have impact on inflationary pressure several months down the road. Besides, I really don't know how the government figures out the cost of living index and other indices that measures inflation in the economy. The cost of houses, rent, vehicles, travel, and food in supermarket have been going up much more than the government's cost of living index. I think wage increase is factored in. The figures appear to indicate that cost of living has been slightly outpacing the wage increase.
