I did some research on long periods of up or down days a few years ago. Certainly long strings are infrequent, but they do happen occasionally. Don't quote me, but I recall after about 6 days the odds are 50/50 of another day in the same direction...

Longest Nasdaq down streak since 1971 is 16 days.
