2nd Anniversary Revision:

As www.mktsentiment.blogspot.com enters its 3rd year of analyzing and reporting major Sentiment Indicators, it will now start adding a matrix of the most important ones, with their recent multi-year highs and lows for reference.
As you might note, most are coming off their oversold Bullish extreme levels - the exceptions being: CBOE put/call ratio still high at 71; the AAII survey showed Bulls at a low of 23.9 and Bears at 57.8. Marty Zweig's dictum of 2 times in 3 months with 9:1 up/down volume days just added a third yesterday (Monday), although today's failed followthrough is giving some back.
Only time will tell if we are just working off the Bearish sentiment or setting up a Summer rally.
