Ordinarily, the arrival of the bear would be confirmed when the market experiences two "90% downside" days, like May 17 and June 5 -- when 90% or more of the trading occurs in declining stocks, says Desmond. But sharp moves of similar magnitude both down and up in a 30-day period since the market peak in early May have led him to discount the significance of the action. Instead, a new watch has begun for the next 90% downside day. And a real bottom.

The rallies in the past couple of weeks almost certainly didn't mark a bottom. If this were truly one, Desmond says, there would be a distinct change in market leadership. Instead, the strength has come from cyclicals, energy, and small-caps -- sectors that had been leading the bull market. Were these jumps to be the real thing, it would make the downturn since early May the "shortest and shallowest bear market in recorded history," says Desmond.

That's possible -- but don't count on it.
