I agree that direction should not really be very important to a daytrader but volatility is. I believe volatility is primarily created by excitement and most people are excited the most when the market is going up. But, there is probably always someplace where you can find the volatility you need for profits. As the markets slow (if they do) then you can move to an inherently more volatile market which because of the slowing has now come into an acceptable range itself. If things get really slow we can all trade pork bellies.

It appears it won't be long before we will be able to trade many different markets all around the world. (some already)

Any way, my biggest concern is not the direction but slacking volatility and the above is what I keep telling myself so I will feel better. Maybe others have the same concern and this might help.
