Recap
Another night where time has caught up with me so another abbreviated Night Owl. The research is done but the text (which does take a while to put together) is condensed.
The technicals
The Dow: A strong and surprising gain here. Not yet overbought but near the upper BB so probably a bit more upside left but not much.
The VIX: Last night's uncertainty resolved to the downside. Still not oversold so more downside left here.
Market index futures: Tonight, all three futures are lower at 12: 16 AM EST with ES down 0.06% ES put in a big bullish engulfing candle Thursday but stopped right on resistance at 2056.
ES daily pivot: Tonight the ES daily pivot rises from 2034.00 to 2044.83. Tonight we remain above the new pivot so this indicator switches back to bullish. This pattern now looks toppy to me.
Dollar index: Half a percent dump on Thursday plus oversold indicators plus a stochastic near a bullish crossover but without a reversal candle, still can't call this one higher yet.
Euro
Transportation: No reversal here either. Star was non-confirmed with a decent gain. No resistance hear and indicators continue rising but not overbought so now looks bullish.
I think a move lower is coming soon but it requires confirmation - the same thing I was saying last night. Only this time I mean it. So I'm just going to call Friday uncertain. That's all she wrote. See you again Sunday night!
Single Stock Trader
Inverted hammer, hanging man, overbought - still looks toppy to me - not an entry here.
