Then may be this January rule will be broken this year.

I believe that the January rule is based on the first 5 trading days of the year rather than the first calendar week . (For example, if January 1 fell on a Thursday, the first week of January would consist of only one day.) If I remember correctly, the first five day predicts the course of the month which in turn predicts the direction of the market for the year. This rule probably does not mean a whole lot. The first week and month of the year have a naturally bullish tendency secondary to money flow and this corresponds to the generally bullish direction of the market. However, it may be slightly more reliable than the Super Bowl indicator.
