Larry, you may want to look at the twitchier indices for tops, like BPOEX and BPNDX. They are more volatile, and appear to mark tops and bottoms better when the tops and bottoms do not occur at the extremes. If you look at a chart of the VXN, you will notice a triangle building on the chart.

Often times the first break is a head-fake, and the real breach happens in the opposite direction.
