to supplement my previous posting.. an excerpt from your link:

"Today, however, the sentiment picture is mixed. For example, on Friday, the CBOE Volatility Index (^VIX)-a.k.a. the market's fear gauge-fell near the week's lows (34.5%) to raise the caution flag, but the CBOE put-to-call ratio, which gives buy signals above 1.00 and sell signals below .50 rose to the week's highs of 1.05 to give a "buy" signal. In short, the two indicators produced extremely different (and unhelpful) signals. Mixed readings are also emerging from many of the other sentiment indicators generally discussed here."

the message here is perhaps that many people are not willing to concede that their prior assumptions may now be defunct given the tenacity of this decline.
