Michael Burry of "The Big Short" fame has hinted the US stock market could bottom within weeks, if history repeats itself.

"In October 1907, Knickerbocker Trust failed due to risky bets, sparking a panic," Burry said in a now-deleted tweet on Wednesday. "Two others soon failed, and it spread. When a run began on a healthy Trust, J.P. Morgan made a stand."

"3 weeks later the Panic resolved & markets bottomed," Burry continued. "A stand was made this past weekend."
