I see Abby Cohen is working the media this evening. I guess that's part of her job. It seems that the most extreme day for the market since Jan 1997 was 10/27/97 and the second most extreme day was today. Still haven't got the plots together yet. However, it seems that a (high U, low D) or (low U, high D) day is an indicator of an extreme market phase.
