Yes. There were numerous successive cuts in the two years after the market break of 1929, and they had no effect whatever. The "two tumbles and a jump," however, has been true ever since World War II, at least in the United States.
But that pattern has been for stocks that had P/Es of 7 to maybe 15, and yields of 3% to 6%. With P/Es over 20 and yields under 1.5%, the value just isn't there for a renewed bull market.

There is plenty of loose money and credit floating around for a partial reinflation of the speculative bubble, but I think it will last at most a few months.
