Which way it leans, and how far it could go

Slight lean down

Fell more than 1,000 points as the tech rout spread. No clear trend: below its 50-day average but up 0.7% in a month.

A typical day: ±1.2% (±627.49)

We keep score: every day each lean is checked a day later, and how often they were right will show here once 20 have been checked.
