Summary

Well, futures have been largely positive all night, but they are off the highs.

The hourly charts are pretty clear, we've due a new index down cycle, the only issue is how low. If it doesn't take out 1536 within 3-5 days, then bears have a real problem.

Considering the weekly charts though, I'm holding to the original outlook. We'll see find out if I'm right..or not.

Good wishes for Wednesday !
