CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday suggested the stock market could be headed for a rally, citing a downturn in the price of oil.
West Texas Intermediate , one of the three main benchmarks in oil pricing, declined more than 2%, and by Thursday's close, the major indexes saw gains.
Cramer highlighted Wednesday's "intraday pivot," as a reason for optimism about a potential rally.
On Wednesday, the major indexes started the day worse off but were able to come back by the end of the session, cutting their losses.
To Cramer, a calendar shift can also have an effect, as September is usually a poor month for the market.
