Here's a link to the SP500 Futures chart (there's no Dow chart) which IMO is much more useful than just a raw number. Just look at the amount down and work out the %.

From this you can better understand why futures prices jump up or down quickly and where they're likely to be headed on any given day/night.
If they can't get back up to the moving average line then they'll be down at the bottom bollinger (about 5% down - dow equivalent about 400pts+) very soon.
