I don't have a timeframe, but look at this 5 year chart of the SP500.

bigcharts.marketwatch.com

The first thing I see is the index rallied to its down trend-line. It will not be easy to break this to the upside. In addition, that spike low after 9-11 looks to me like it has to be tested and a base needs to be built for a test of the up trend line again.

From a fundamental perspective, the economists are pushing out the end of the recesseion to the middle of '02. The market should bottom 4-6 months before the end of the recession.

But we also have some negative wild cards such as an additional terrorist attack, an argentinian default..

I would change my mind if we can break the trendline - which may be possible given the Fed pumping $$ into the system...but path of lest resistance is the downstrend in my opinion (short term).
