Well' I enjoyed reading this last discussion.
We certainly had a correction, but a bear market does require lower lows as the market becomes increasingly pessimistic. I don't think, after the jump from 50, anyone realistically expects the price to reach 50 again. Even 70 has tremendous support and the last time we could not get past 97.
So, although previously I thought this might go the 2011 way, considering the above, I think we just had a very much needed correction and are now consolidating for the next deflationary move.
