None of those examples count as timely and/or sufficiently assertive predictions that 4 digits were gone forever (or final).
How come, says who?
How about this
one? No?
Surely not bad.
How am I supposed to know regarding why not?
It was just before this:
Finally!!!!!!
A positive sign.

So, Jay or Juan, do you think we will visit $10k ever again? What would it take to call four digits
final for you?
Anyway, not waiting for an answer really - it's always a pleasure to float your boat.

4 digits do not seem very likely, at this time.
I had suggested that we could not really have any meaningful chance of feeling as if we are past 4 digits until we get meaningfully above $13,880... and surely it seems as if we have gotten "meaningfully" above $13,880.... so there is that angle in regards to where the bottom might be upon any test or change in momentum.
One piece of evidence in regards to 4 digits still being open is the 200 week moving average, which is merely in the lower $7ks...
So, the last time that I checked, lower $7ks do qualify for 4 digits, even if maybe our momentum is UPpity from here.. so at some point in the coming year or so, the 200-week moving average will also move into the 5 digits, making 4 digits even less likely.
