I looked at the VIX during 2008/2009 period. Even though the market was still going down the VIX collapsed into the 40's for several months before the big bounce 2009. It looks like the weekly range had collapsed during that period as well.

So far we haven't seen the weekly range collapse in 2020. In 2008 it took 6 weeks after the big drop to settle down.

So we could several more weeks of wild trading before we even find out if the market is going to settle up or settle down..

Fabulous picture. Thanks. Looking at it in comparison with the shape of the previous, traditional corrections, one must wonder if this is the new normal. Days of limit down sell-offs with most of the action taking place outside normal market hours? What do traditional investors do with this new style, I wonder.

Yep.. great chart as well..

Oscar and I were discussing the DXY in his chat room and my worry that if we broke 105, on the quarterly chart it looked like the DXY would be heading for 120-130..

How I figured this was looking at the following chart, and seeing an extended Cup&Handle pattern forming..

The bottom of the Cup is at 70 and the pivot point is at 105. So if it penetrated 105, according to traditional C&H theory, the Cup should flip upward for the target price.. hence 120-130..

Of course, this would suggest massive deflationary pressures and debt default to make the Dollar that strong..

Oscar just had a shorter term view with his double top interpretation.

I still, unfortunately, think the Quarterly pattern may play out unless the Fed finds a way to stop the climb of the USD.

When I look at this chart but moreso at the chart of the Nasdaq, I see the 2008-2020 period as a repeat of the roaring 20's. The charts behave similarly but for different reasons.

I hope you are right because I much prefer good times than bad times. But I suspect you will not.

Time will tell.
