Longer lulls tend to end with major quakes nearby, or start after massive quakes.
Out of these 10 examples, only two did not have a 7.7+ in either end ( #2 and #9).

We have not seen 8+ after September 2015, therefore this current lull likely ends with a major bang.
As of 04/22/2017, current lull has lasted 90 days which would make the fifth longest since 2000.
