Markets Rally Following Early Week Selloff

July 21, 2021
By Vlad Karpel

Following Monday’s selloff, the Dow Jones rallied impressively as the benchmark rose over 280 points. The Nasdaq and S&P were also able to close in the green as U.S. benchmarks rebounded impressively on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Netflix and Unite Airlines headlined earnings while today Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, and Verizon release their quarterly reports. While UAL and CMG saw shares rally following their reports, Netflix saw shares selloff as the streaming giant reported one of its worst quarters to date. Relations with China, the delta variant rate, and the upcoming FOMC decision are factors that can impact the market in the coming weeks. Next week, earnings ramp up with reports from Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, and Amazon.

With the new strand of the virus starting to impact worldwide markets, the VIX has reached 25 level. Vaccine and infection rates will continue to impact markets in the coming weeks as well as the start of the latest earnings season. Next week, the Federal Open Market Committee will meet again to discuss and decide on the current interest rates. Please watch the critical support levels on the SPY at $417 and $400. The market has started trading in a downtrend and we do expect a short-term correction to continue in the next two weeks. Globally, both European and Asian markets traded significantly lower. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
