Suffice to say, all of the risk is "priced in" for meltdown. Zombies have every right to feel like total fucking idiots for not seeing it coming.
Meanwhile, note to Prechter, machines don't care about Social Mood. Now that Wall Street is involved, I suspect that the same momentum algorithms powering the S&P 500 are now powering Bitcoin. Meaning these algos buy on strength and sell on weakness in order to draw speculators into the market to chase momentum.

Way back in October 2014, October 15th to be exact, the casino had a bit of a swoon, which was followed by BTFD and then a topping process.

Which explains why Bitcoin is going vertical. Because currencies are a zero sum game. And it's now ~1,000:1, with a few exceptions:
Semis are holding up. For now...
Behold the only U.S. bank that profited from the global financial crisis, reaching another late cycle peak:
