It seems that there's a non-econ based literature that tries to predict crashes using various statistical techniques. A bunch of these papers appear in the journal "Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications" (WX Zhou abd D Sornette authored 3 of them, and Sornette wrote a book called "Why stock markets crash: critical events in complex financial systems" [https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/1e66/1c86a5207d0a8b3a900e4fa333c1b8b3c09d.pdf]).
