kalinm, do the same study but back it up to 10/07-4/09 and see how many of those candles there were (and if any were off tops...I'd guess there were plenty but could be wrong)....

    Was a vicious down day off a top. 1255 to 1205 -- incidentally, similar values to today. This followed the short ban on financials and led to the October massacre -- 15 days later, SP was at 840 as a low.  What is not similar to 2008 is that fundamentals now are decidedly WORSE; Bernanke is a lame duck Fed with no more ammo left.

    hmmmm......
