Actionable ideas for the busy trader delivered daily right up front
- Wednesday higher.
- ES pivot 2250.50. Holding above is bullish.
- Rest of week bias uncertain technically.
- Monthly outlook: bias higher.
- YM futures trader: no trade tonight.
It's always nice to start off the new year with a win, and that we accomplished by calling the close higher as the Dow put in a triple digit gain to climb back to within striking distance of the fabled 20K handle. It was an interesting U-shaped day that made for a very tall gap-up doji star. That sometimes portends a reversal, so let's look for clues in the rest of the charts and figure out what's up (or down) for Wednesday.
 |
| VIX, daily |
The VIX: I missed a good chance to put up this chart last night. I always say that the VIX rarely spends more than a day or two above its upper BB and we got that last Friday with a candle that also featured a failed test of the 200 day MA (dashed orange line) and left the VIX quite overbought. Double whammy - and down we came on Tuesday, off over 8% on a tall red marubozu. With a new bearish stochastic crossover this one looks lower again on Wednesday.
Market index futures: Tonight, all three futures are higher at 12:28 AM EST with ES up 0.13%.
ES daily pivot: Tonight the ES daily pivot rises from 2239.00 to 2250.50. ES remains above its new pivot so this indicator continues bullish.
Accuracy:
average points
January 1 0 0 0 1.000 119
And the winner is...
After a strong showing on Monday that confirmed a bullish crossover in ES, we're seeing some decent pin action in the new overnight. Also, the Dow is now on the verge of a bullish stochastic crossover itself. And with the VIX looking continued bearish, oil seemingly moving lower, and copper stabilizing, it seems appropriate to call Wednesday higher.
