Interesting that the AAII Bull - Bear spread in 2021 broke above 46% some 3 times - but none of them counted for the purpose of this study, because all of them occurred less than a year from the preceding one, in 2020. Same for 2024 - it happened 3 times, but only the 1st one went into that table.

Looks like, overall, the >46% spreads tend to occur during periods of strength in the market - with the first incident [typically] taking place as the market is coming out of a period of weakness.

All this suggests that *maybe* this setup does have some predictive value (even though I don’t like very much studies which feel like if they were designed for data mining). I wonder why they didn’t go further back to see how this setup has been behaving in the past - leaves one to wonder that maybe they didn’t like what they found?

Every time the spread broke above 46%, it pulled back - and looks like, repeatedly, the index came down and tested the midline of the BB’s - and, on occasion, the lower tine. You suggest the same - good point.
