Not only was it not an 80 to 90% upside day but today's volume on the upswing did not outweigh yesterday's downside volume: Major Market Indices on 6 Month Daily Charts versus the VIX (Fear Index) - Also included are the SOX/SMH and BKX because they are so important to the overall direction of the market. RSI (14) over 70 is overbought. Under 30 is oversold. Fear will generally be low while the market is moving steadily higher. Large spikes in the VIX often correspond with market bottoms. No lasting uptrend will build from today's start in my humble opinion. RtS

Based upon percentage of volume we had a nearly 84% upside day for the NYSE on top of last Friday's 83% upside day. I still see this as a faulty long term signal my friends of any long term trading upside because the volume is not high enough to be significant when compared to the prior downside trending volume.

But lets all take a moment and applaud the efforts that led me to download a calculator app that actually will work regardless of how much volume there is on the NYSE. I do hope you all will continue to question my math skills. LOL

Here is the actual data from the WSJ:
