Those two factors have occurred together only 14 times since 1990. In 12 of those times the S&P 500 was higher six months later, Turnquist said.
Market sentiment has turned more negative with the latest stock slide, with 41.6% of investors bearish and 30.1% bullish in the latest American Association of Individual Investors weekly survey.
