    Strong seasonal patterns should be looked at while keeping the Linear Regression principle in mind. If price sways too strongly in one direction, it eventually must balance out and come back to the line. While the winning ratio on Tuesday & Wednesday was not right, the size of the moves were (when looking at the average positive/negative gains.) For myself, I try to step back and look at stats from a distant view, for me it's a single tool, we still have the charts to look at the here & now

    Going back to 1950, of the 16,000 plus trading days, today's -2.09% loss ranks in the bottom 2 percentile.

    With the chart below, statistically speaking this Friday's winning ratio is split even with the average positive/negative gains higher than the norm. Based on this data, I would expect to see a +/-1% day tomorrow.

    Paraphrasing Mel Brooks, my fellow tribesman:

    The correc-tion, here we go, the corec-tion, what a show, I'll bet your wishin' that it'd go away, but the correc-tion is here and it's here to stay.......

    You were right on the down call, but off by .06%. Try harder next time. Seriously, congrats.
