Yes, the intra-day spike on VIX to 60+ was quite spectacular. I had not noticed that before. That seems to be another good indicator to determine a "reversal" date.

Could it be tomorrow that we revisit the Sept 2001 lows for the SOX?

I think the market could be close to capitulation but it will not happen without huge volume and a lot of fear that things will get much worse yet.

We got a very short technical bounce on the index on Monday that sold us off to the lowest low since September of last year.

Tonight WCOM gives us another scandal for the market to digest while MU's results were much worse than expected. I guess the real question is do the September lows even hold?

Not unless we get huge volume of approximately 3 billion shares in the reversal. And a huge spike in the VIX above 50 perhaps as high as 60.

Just like we did on October 8, 1998:

This could be over soon or not.

Many thanks to Don for getting me to look closer at October 8, 1998. Check out Harry Boxer's column tonight:

Sounds just like what we have been discussing! RtS
