Humans have a natural desire to find causes for everything that happens around them when sometimes those causes are not easily discovered. This is why sports commentators will always have a good reason for you about the performance about your favorite team. They want to make you feel comfortable and say "ahh, ok" instead of sitting there in wonder and frustration. It's the same with markets. Watch headlines do complete 180 degree switches from "this caused that" to "that caused this" after the market hits a price rejection point. Markets bounce. End of story.
