Vol of the Vols Chart
VIX = 20.5 which is just below its -1 sigma (remember it’s the VIX’s vol pattern (its sigma channels) that matters, and not the level of VIX itself (this is per Dr. Robert Whaley, a great mentor and the inventor of original VIX, now called VXO. VIX usually peaks around a test of its +4 sigma).
As stated here in the last 3 weeks, this shockwave is over till the next shoe drops.
5-day TRIN & TRINQ Charts
Both 5-day TRIN (for NYSE) and 5-day TRINQ (for NASDAQ) Indicators are in SELL signal mode here.

SPX 2008 Analog for SPX 2016
SPX 2016 tracking the SPX 2008 price action so far, says @Capt_Tiko, who is a lot smarter that we are. Oh well, we may have to start having whatever he is having: Alboacroe Tuna + Foumanat Tea.
