Stocks with Earnings:

S&P 500

Looking at the S&P 500, it opened with a gap up, traded within that range, and closed almost unchanged from its opening. The price faces resistance at 544. Today, we anticipate the price breaking above this level and continuing upward, reflecting the ongoing bullish trend. However, there might be an opening gap down in the market today.

Looking at the heatmap, the technology sector is performing strongly with most stocks in this sector up: NVDA increased by 3.55%, AAPL by 2.86%, and MSFT by 1.94%. On the other hand, consumer defensive stocks have faced declines, while utilities and energy sectors are also showing poor performance. Overall, investors seem inclined towards long-term and growth stocks. Now, let’s examine the specific numbers for each sector.

Consumer Staples Sector(XLP):

Looking at the consumer staples sector, it’s currently trending upwards. However, upon reviewing the 1-hour chart, there appears to be a sideways movement, and the price is approaching a support level. We anticipate the price to rebound from this support level and continue its upward trajectory. Alternatively, there is a possibility that the price may break below this support and initiate a new trend.

Energy Sector(XLE):

Examining the energy sector, it’s currently in a downtrend. Observing the 1-hour chart, the price is retracing from a resistance level. We anticipate the price to rebound from the significant support level and resume its upward movement. Alternatively, there’s a possibility that the price could breach this level and experience a sharp decline.

Materials Sector(XLB):

Reviewing the materials sector, it has broken through a key support level and is currently trading around that level. We anticipate the price could either continue declining from this point or potentially re-enter its previous trend.

Industrial Sector(XLI):

Examining the industrials sector, it is currently moving sideways. Upon reviewing the 1-hour chart, the price is approaching a resistance level. We anticipate the price could either break above this level and move towards the next resistance, or it might retreat from this level.

Consumer Discretionary Sector(XLY):

Analyzing the consumer discretionary sector, it is currently in a sideways trend. Upon examining the 1-hour chart, we observe that the price has surpassed a resistance level. We anticipate the price could either continue its upward movement towards the next resistance level or potentially retreat from this point.

Healthcare Sector(XLV):

Examining the healthcare sector, it is currently experiencing a sideways trend, with the price approaching a resistance level. We anticipate the price could either retreat from this level or potentially break through it and continue its upward trajectory.

Financials Sector(XLF):

Examining the financial sector, it was previously in an uptrend, but now the price appears to have broken below the support level. We anticipate the price could continue declining today, though there’s also a possibility it could re-establish its upward trend. Keep a close watch on the market movements.

Technology Sector(XLK):

Examining the technology sector, it is currently in an uptrend and has encountered resistance around the 227.50 level. We anticipate the price could either break through this level and continue rising or potentially retreat from this point.

Communications Sector(XLC):

Reviewing the communication services sector, it is currently in an uptrend. Upon examining the 1-hour chart, there is a minor sideways movement with resistance noted around 85.50. We anticipate the price could reach this resistance level today, with the possibility of breaking above it.

Utility Sector(XLU):

Examining the utilities sector, it is trading within the range of 73 and 70 levels. We anticipate the price to remain within this range. Currently, the price is near the support level, and we expect it to move back towards the resistance level today.
