The DJIA Index moved congruently to historical standards in the post election year of 1977, which characteristically demonstrated bearish expressions. The mid-term election year of 1978 found market bottom that is consistent with historical standards. However, it did not do this during the normal bull/bear seasonality standards. The pre-election year, however, was incongruent to historical standards with its non-bullish behavior. The election year was extremely bullish even in the face of the Iranian hostage crisis.

The market briefly applauded the deregulation of airlines, but that was muted with the Three Mile Island nuclear disaster. The market does not like it when innocent people may not be able to make it work and generate profits for their employer.

The market was a little slow in anticipating the 1980 recession with a quick-term bullish spurt just ahead of it. It again more than made up for its tardiness with a steep drop in late 1979.

As you can see, bullish seasonality (pink) is incongruent to historical standards during the bearish market periods and bearish seasonality (white) is also incongruent to historical standards during bullish periods.
