What might drive such a rapid pullback is a drastic reduction in corporate profits (white chart) and the S+P 500 profits chart currently appears to be working on a 5th wave which is about the same size as its first wave. In other words, corporate profits might be very near a 25 year peak. If this turns out to be the case, an A-B-C retracement would be expected which would retrace to the level of the prior 4th. That would imply a profit reduction to the level of 1996.
At some point I have little doubt that the S+P and DOW charts will both expose themselves to be manias just like the Japanese Nikkei 225 chart did over the past 30 years. You really can't fool all of the people all of the time.
