Ever noticed how your trading week performs differently depending on the day? Looking at cumulative market gains this century broken down by day of the week reveals some fascinating patterns. Tuesday absolutely dominates with 106.64% in total gains—a massive outlier compared to the rest of the week. Wednesday follows at 45.57%, while Thursday trails slightly behind at 40.72%. Monday manages a respectable 8.99%, yet Friday barely moves the needle at 1.80%. The stark contrast between Tuesday's explosive performance and Friday's sluggish returns (excluding dividends) is striking. This historical data suggests serious day-of-the-week effects in market behavior—something worth monitoring if you're timing your trades or analyzing cyclical opportunities throughout your trading week.

actually... tuesday's 106.64% return smells like survivorship bias to me? like, are we accounting for all the tuesdays that absolutely tanked before this century started? ngl the data visualization probably hides half the story here

Double on Tuesday? Then relax on Friday, the gap is just too outrageous... No wonder some say timing the market can make money; it really isn't just talk.

Eat meat crazily on Tuesday, slack off on Friday. Is the market playing with me or am I playing with the market... 106% profit? Oh my god, I keep going against the odds!
