S&P finish the week up 4.63% after trading in a range of 187 points. The move featured a Monday rally from below the Jun 17th low and the 1.272 Fib X, a pull back for the next 3 days and then another rally to close the week at the highs. Price is now back above the 9/21 emas, the June 17th low and has broken the recent downward trend line. The weekly close was bullish, but in the context of the higher time frame the S&P still sits precariously on the edge of the June 17th pivot low. Heavy week of earning ahead with reports from the key mega cap stocks. Below are a few points I am considering.
• Coming off +4.63% Weekly gain
• Above 9/21 emas & June 17th low
• Broke downward trendline
• Heavy week of earnings ahead
• Canadian & ECB rate decisions are key economic events
• Strong seasonal period for tech has begun
• Strong seasonal period for S&P begins next week
• Watch for follow through pull back in bond yield & DXY
• Market still waiting on panic market flush with VIX spike above 40
• AMZN, AAPL, META, MSFT, GOOG report this week
