Paul, Playing the devil's advocate here, I wonder how often it did that in the bull years vs the bear years. I have noticed that last year it was above the upper band for 10 weeks in a row.

What caught my attention was that the RSI and the fast line on the MACD are at low levels unseen in 5 years, while the ADX, +DI, and -DI are at neutral values. Curious. I noted this conversation because a little earlier I was looking at a ratio of daily VIX/VIX250LinearRegression, which is also at a multi-year extreme. The absolute levels of the VIX trend over long periods, as the chart Nancy linked make clear, so that deviations from trend seem more important than absolute values. Something is being signaled here, but what? Are we at an important top, or are we in a new bull mkt? Obviously, in FA terms a new bull from Oct. or Mar. would be unprecedented in the history of financial markets in developed economies. Brave new world?
