Midterm Effects on Market Corrections

I created a chart based on all the midterm elections pullback and rally. Has anyone else done this? It looks like there has been always been a correction with an average of -17.5% except for 1934, 1998, and 2002. I don't know why this year would be any different. Of course it rallies right after. I can't time the market of course, but I don't think we will be hitting anymore ATH before the correction - just waiting with dry powder at this point though, jumping back in when it hits -15%.
