Cramers list is pretty similar (of course, as there are only so many variables in play), but he does offer a useful perspective:

The market sentiment has become more negative than Jim Cramer can ever remember in recent years. That is why Cramer decided to dig a little deeper to figure out when the market will have a real investable bottom and not just an oversold rally. "Sentiment can't cause a rally on its own. Something fundamental has to change," the "Mad Money" host said. In order to answer the question of when the market will bottom, Cramer referred back to the checklist he created on Jan. 11 of what needs to happen before a genuine bottom can occur. Unfortunately when Cramer reviewed the checklist, not many boxes were checked off — even after the insane torture that stocks have been through so far this month. After Cramer went down the list, he understood exactly why the bottom has been so hard to find.

Cramer: When the market torture will end

We also doubt whether we have a real investable bottom, it looks more like an oversold rally, but even these can give a nice upturn for a while..
