The Dow has risen for the last seven sessions. Today could be day #8, but we're currently down 3.9 points.

The Dow last had an eight-session win streak four years ago, at the beginning of the bull market. The Dow hasn't had a nine-session win streak in over ten years.

In1987 when the Dow rose for the first 13 trading days of the year. Of course, we know what happened later that year.

The Dow rallied for 12 straight days twice, once in 1929 and again in 1970. The streak in 1929 came right after a six-day win streak for a combined 18-of-19 streak. Again, we know what happened later that year.

The record is from 1897 when the Dow rose for 14 straight days.
