Median post-crash reflex rally still points to a retest… The SPX has rallied 13.5% off the 12/24/18 low in just 17 trading days.

Although all three market events retested the low, many wonder if this post-crash ramp could be different given the two 90% upside price and volume breadth days on the NYSE right after the turn.
