Financial Crisis in 2008

scorpiris Updated   
SP:SPX   S&P 500 Index
This is a historical chart of the S&P 500 which runs from mid-August 2005 to mid-August 2009.
In 2007, problems with Subprime Mortgage begin and in 2008 we have Credit Crisis / Financial Institution Failures.

The index was in a rising trend, but from the beginning of 2007 volume begins to be smaller at index peak than at index bottom. That may indicate an end to the rising trend.
There will also be a break down at the end of 2007. The pattern with less volume at index peak than at index bottom is accelerating and in September 2008 there is a sharp decline in index.
RSI 28 is falling in the period.
In the same period, we see the VIX go up first a little and then in a peak to around 80.
Considers index technically negative in the period.
