S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) shares appear to be having a better week this week.

The ASX 200 is currently 0.16% higher at 7,866.9 points on Tuesday.

Yesterday, the benchmark index closed up 1.02%.

Prior to this, four consecutive weeks of market falls left the ASX 200 teetering on the edge of an official market correction.

A market correction is defined as a 10% fall from the most recent peak.

The ASX 200 hit a seven-month low during the sell-off, and several ASX 200 blue-chip shares got swept up in the tailspin.

And therein lies a potential opportunity.
