Earnings Continue Supporting U.S. Markets, Big-Tech Set To Report This Week

January 25, 2021
By Vlad Karpel

After major banks returned better than expected earnings results last week which helped U.S. benchmarks record weekly gains, U.S. markets are modestly trading higher today. The S&P and Nasdaq traded slightly higher to open the week while the Dow closed in the red. Tesla, Facebook, Apple, and Visa are set to report quarterly earnings later this week while data from Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, and Verizon are due tomorrow. Apart from earnings, vaccine rollout and news regarding the next stimulus package will likely continue to impact markets through the end of the month. Globally, Asian markets finished impressively higher while European markets closed in the red. We continue seeing strong rotation from growth to value stocks as the SPY retested its recent highs. It is our opinion that the market could be prone to further corrections and the next level of support is set at $364. Until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting SPY to trade in the range of $364-$390. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
