Prior to yesterday's Open I called for yesterday closing positively and with the main move being up. I did this because the opposite, i.e., two strong days in a row have happened so rarely - particularly in recent history. That turned out to be wrong.
If, however, the rarely keeps happening...
What we're looking at now is basically 2 days down in a row both down 3 % or more - coming off an all time high.
Has it happened that we've gone down a 3rd day in a row following such a pattern?
It has. Not very often, though. But the last time was the 24th of August 2015 closing down 4,15 % the 2nd day. The 3rd day closed down at - 1,14 %.
Looking at that entire sequence down we actually had 6 days down in a row.
Bottom line - it's perfectly possible we continue selling further for today's session even though we're down a lot already.
