Recap

Valais Switzerland Suisse Winter Ski Europe Travel Advertisement Art PosterWell after a clear topping signal on Monday, the market moved lower on Tuesday as I expected wit hthe Dow down nearly 300 points.  This was another one of those days where Real Life (TM) caught up with me and I didn't have as much time as I'd like to study the market so tonight is another Night Owl Lite night - no detailed charts, just conclusions.  Less for me to write, less for you to read, it's a win-win.

The technicals

Market index futures: Tonight, all three futures are lower at 12:15 AM EST with ES down 0.33%.

ES daily pivot: Tonight the ES daily pivot falls from 1927.92 to 1905.25. That still leaves ES below its new pivot so this indicator continues bearish.

Accuracy: 

Month    right  wrong  no call  conditional  batting   Dow
                                             average  points
January    9      5       5           0       0.643    1433
February   1      0       1           0       1.000     296


     And the winner is...

Tonight the charts appear to be in full-on bearish mode so with the VIX moving higher and both oil and the futures guiding lower once again I'm just going to call Wednesday lower and leave it at that.  Foo.

Nothing new again here.
