Markets lower in front of the Jobs Number

For the fourth consecutive day markets are lower. Today is jobs Friday which means anything goes for markets. The first week of the year has brought losses near 5% with no signs of reversing the new trend.

No matter where we go from here there is some technical damage. The next couple of days will tell the story. Whatever happens today with jobs report has no bearing. Markets are do a bounce the key will be the reaction to that bounce.
