I'll be a happy fella if Vix blasts thru' the 200 ema on 20-min.

Yeah BUT Mr. T wasn’t in office during that time Fibbo. It is now a different age.
Sure?.
There are NO certainties in financial markets, only probabilities/odds. You do your anal-ysis, then you take your shot esp. with a big swing, then you wait for validation or a kick in the ass.
Sure. The 2009 Low is too far back for this ever expanding and improving World to return back to. But after the current long-term Bull (born 2009) is done, yes, a 50% drop for years - ugly, but likely. Then a new Bull and so it goes.
The increased volatility since Dec-2017 is surely a turning hint, but to navigate the internal girations is next to impossible. Even with marginal new All Time Highs likely in 2020, Big BEAR is certainly in the cards, but the 2009 Low? No.

Start counting from Great Depression low 1932. The 2009 low was Wave 4. The current wave is Wave 5. The only valid argument is that Wave 5 is not over yet. We sure are going to find out soon when/if my unrealized losses hit 150k when my Stop is hit.
After 5 waves up we now have an A-B-C correction. My call for the BEAR market is only wave A down to around 2009 low = previous 4th wave. Huge bull after that in Wave B (could be a triangle). Then finally wave C down to complete the rout. Then new bull for next 70 years.
Great Depression underway since Jan 26, 2018
Fasten seatbelts
Fibo, I see your point. Unfortunately, the A-B-C formation for Wave-4 scenario have several flaws - mainly too short (time-wise) compared to 1-2-3- prior to y.2000.
How about we are still in Wave-4, a heavily skewed to the upside Triangle, currently in late stages of its smaller wave-d (see the attachment). Wave-e shall be quite of a Bear, true.
As for the strangely looking Wave-4 Triangle: read my previous post about the constant upward bias for this particular market. Also, the QEs quantitatively and Mr. DJT emotionally has exagerated this current Wave-d to the upside.
So please allow this market a little more of an upside and trim up your downward target, if I may. And patience, it will take years to unfold.
