    Previously, the SPY volatility had not surpassed 2008 levels, yesterday it did with the IV as high as 85% before backing off. The other indicator that had not reached 2008 levels was the bid-ask width in IV points that did reach 2008 levels intraday before backing off. This is a sign of panic and capitulation and a sign of market bottoms. I think there could be a rally here but it feels like the worst is yet to come.

    Ackman screaming on CNBC yesterday may have signaled the bottom. Similar to the Cramer rant in 08/09

    yes, selling has bottomed, no we get a asymmetric buying decline. Everyone's gonna try to pick the long term bottom so the market needs to ride that one out too. So, keep having those 1:3 risk reward stops out there to make the market below 2000 :)
