Recap

Image result for fourth of july
Happy Fourth of July!
I expected an inconclusive, low-volume day last Friday and that's about what we got with the Dow up just 19 points on a small doji star.  Now we're coming off a three-day weekend.  Sunday nights are hard enough to call and this just makes it harder.  Also, the day after the Fourth is typically high volatility.  So with a holiday-shortened week coming up, this seems like a good time to day a day off.  We're going to go watch some fireworks and then let the market settle down a bit before getting back to work.

The technicals

Market index futures: Tonight, all three futures are lower  at 12:26 AM EDT with ES down 0.18%. 

ES daily pivot: Tonight the ES daily pivot falls from 2092.83 to 2099.58.  That puts ES back below its new pivot so this inidcator is now bearish.

Accuracy:  

Month    right  wrong  no call  conditional  batting   Dow

June       8      5       7           1       0.643    1393

July       0      0       1           0         NaN       0

     And the winner is...

No call tonight, we're on vacation.  (But I will casually mention things are ;looking a tad bearish at the moment).
