It's been interesting seeing the strong gyrations in one country (China) cause this ripple effect. I think there are many, many people now who have profited from this extended bull run, providing more potential profit-takers and sellers. That's what hurts every bull rally - if it goes on for long enough there will be a horde of profit takers ready to cash out and capitalize on the late-comers. I think this bull has accumulated a lot of potential profit takers.
