A tradeable bottom?

After the market closed yesterday (Wednesday), I tweeted a series of charts indicating that the market appeared to be oversold, but fear levels weren't extreme yet:

1. The market was oversold on % of stocks over the 10 day moving average based on the breadth charts from IndexIndicators;
2. The market was oversold on net 20 day highs - lows;
3. The market was showing a positive RSI divergence on the hourly SPX chart; but...
4. The CBOE equity only put/call ratio was only at average levels, which indicated no signs of fear from the option market; and
5. My Trifecta Bottom Model was nowhere close to a buy signal (described here), which was another sign of complacency.

I had concluded that a bottom was near, but we may need a further wash-out before a tradeable bottom could be seen. The stock market weakened further on Thursday and a number of fear metrics spiked.

Is the market near a durable bottom?
