for those stuck in 80s - we have now 2% interest rate.

remember it - 2! not 15 or 16 like in 80s.

There are not enough support and resistance points.   Some people drew the same chart several years ago with the prediction that the market would make even lower lows than in 2009.  The bottom line doesn't really come close on either the log or normal scale, regardless of using closing prices or high-low-close bars.  The bottom line on the SPX would probably be best drawn as a horizontal.   At least, then it intersects the 2009 lows and indicates support.

 

He also left out labeling a similar pattern from the beginning of the last century to the end of the twenties.

I think the biggest point there is the 1987 crash was in there not long after the end of the megaphone, which I would like to say did get the excesses out.  However, thats where we are now so when we don't see volatility you could see it again.  We need corrections like we did on Friday to keep people honest which actually barely counted as it was only under -1% for minutes.  Thats not healthy!!  Were setting records for no daily -1% records, weekly -2-3 and -5% corrections.  We need to see volatility start or we'll see a 1987 correction again and investors will be crushed as you know they always buy high and sell low and don't get back in till the rallies long gone again!
