I assume you are using daily bars. If so try:

  if DayOfWeek(Date) = 4 and Close <= 0.97 * Close[3] then ....

That doesn't work for weeks with Monday holidays. If you want to make it more "robust" and check for Monday holidays you need something like:

  Vars: DOW(0);
  DOW = DayOfWeek(Date);
  if DOW = 4 and and DOW[3] = 1 and Close <= 0.97 * Close[3] then ....
