US Market Technicals Ahead (26 July – 30 July 2021)The earnings season is gathering pace as it enters into the busiest phase this week. Investors will be closely watching earnings from tech heavyweights with Apple ($APPL), Facebook ($FB), Microsoft ($MSFT), Alphabet ($GOOGL) and Amazon ($AMZN) are reporting quarterly results.
US Federal Reserve will also be meeting this week, and more details will likely emerge on the tapering discussions that started in June. On the economic data front, the US is releasing the first estimate of Q2 GDP which is expected to be the peak of the post-pandemic recovery. Other data includes durable goods orders, and personal income and outlays.
Here is what you need to know to start your week.
S&P500 (US Market)
All three of the major averages finished at record closing highs last week after the markets tumbled at the start of the week on concerns about the spread of the delta variant of Covid and how it would potentially hinder the economic recovery. The uncertainty briefly sent bond yields lower, and investors jumped into tech stocks. Both bonds and equities rebounded quickly by the end of the week.
The benchmark index $SPX rallied +1.84% (+79.5 points), including an intraweek move of +4.18% from its week low during the week. $SPX is currently back trading above its multi-month long trend channel that was earlier highlighted. Every break out of $SPX trend channel resistance has been met with a rejection (6 times since 2021).
The immediate support to watch for $SPX this week remains at 4,285 level; the 20DMA short term support level.
Fed taper talk
The Fed wraps up its two-day meeting on Wednesday and its statement will be scrutinized for any mention of the timeframe for tapering its asset purchase program, although Chairman Jerome Powell made it clear in his recent testimony to Congress that the U.S. economy still needs the central bank’s full support.
In June, policymakers began debating when to start cutting monthly purchases of $120 billion of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities.
Powell may indicate that while a discussion on tapering has started, there is still time before officials reach a conclusion on what they will do. Policymakers are expected to highlight the risk from the rapidly spreading Delta variant, which investors worry could derail the economic recovery.
Most analysts expect the Fed to give a clearer indication of its plans for scaling back its quantitative easing program at its annual conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in late August, before a formal announcement on tapering later in the year.
Data dump
Aside from the Fed meeting, investors will get an update on the strength of the U.S. economy with an end-of-month data dump.
Monday sees figures on new home sales, which are expected to hit new highs, followed by durable goods orders and consumer confidence on Tuesday.
The highlight is on Thursday with a first look at second quarter GDP and while expectations have been trimmed back in recent weeks, growth is still expected to be strong at 8.6% annualized. This would mark the recovery of all the lost output caused by the pandemic and could be the peak of the post-pandemic recovery.
Figures on personal income and spending are due Friday, which include the Fed’s rumored favorite measure of inflation – the core personal consumer expenditure price index.
Earnings deluge
U.S. earnings are kicking into high gear and investors will be watching the largest tech names to gauge whether a recent shift away from reflation trade and into growth stocks that led markets for the last decade will continue.
Earnings from Apple ($AAPL) and Alphabet ($GOOGL) on Tuesday, Facebook ($FB) on Wednesday and Amazon ($AMZN) on Thursday could accelerate a shift back into growth.
FAANG stocks – Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix ($NFLX), and Google parent Alphabet – are usually known for delivering stellar stock market returns. But only Facebook and Alphabet have beaten the S&P 500 so far this year as investors piled into financials, energy firms and other companies that should benefit from the post pandemic economic rebound.

Fed minutes
The minutes of the Fed’s June meeting, when officials opened talks on tapering bond-buying and indicated interest rate increases could come sooner than previously anticipated, are due to be released on Wednesday.
The minutes are coming on the heels of Friday’s nonfarm payrolls report, which showed that the U.S. created the most jobs in 10 months in June, indicating that the economy closed out the second quarter with strong momentum as the reopening continued.
The robust data did little to ease concerns that a strong recovery and rising wages could prompt the Fed to begin unwinding its easy money policies sooner than expected.
ISM services data
The ISM index of service industry activity is set to be released on Tuesday and is expected to show continued strong growth after hitting a record high in May amid a reopening made possible by vaccinations against the coronavirus. The report could also underline ongoing labor constraints as hiring continues to lag, leading companies to offer higher wages to attract staff.
ECB minutes
The ECB is to publish the minutes of its June policy meeting on Thursday. ECB-watchers will also be on alert for news of several meetings due to take place in the coming weeks as part of the banks review of its monetary policy strategy.

China inflation
China is to release data on both consumer price inflation and producer price inflation on Friday. Market watchers will be paying close attention to the cost of raw materials, which have soared due to higher commodity prices, and whether these increases are being passed onto the consumer.

US Market Technicals Ahead (28 June – 2 July 2021)The second quarter is ending. Global stocks are on track to post their second strongest H1 gains since the turn of the century, but the second half looks harder to predict.
All eyes turn to the US employment report on Friday, with investors hopeful for signs of improvement in the labor market after two months of slower than expected jobs growth. Meanwhile, the ISM Manufacturing PMI survey should point to a strong pace of expansion in factory activity, not far from March's 37-year high and despite the ongoing supply constraints. President Joe Biden’s $1.2 trillion infrastructure deal will continue to boost U.S. markets, but other concerns remain.
Elsewhere, OPEC+ meets on Thursday with expectation to offer guidance into the coalition's production plan. Energy traders are anticipating another production increase as the demand outlook continues to recover.

S&P500 (US Market)
The benchmark index $SPX rallies to all time high, posting a weekly gain of +3.17% (+131.8 points), closing at 4,285 level.

Last week Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell reiterated the central bank’s commitment to encouraging a "broad and inclusive" recovery in the labor market, adding that there is still a long way to go, and that support is still needed.
Economic data
Ahead of Friday’s jobs report, markets will get updates on pending home sales, ADP private sector payrolls, jobless claims and ISM manufacturing activity.
The ISM data is likely to underline strains on the supply chain that are pushing up costs, boosting the chances that inflation will remain at higher levels for longer.
OPEC+ meeting
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, known as OPEC+ will hold a series of meeting in the coming week to review the situation in the global oil market ahead of an official meeting on Thursday.
Thursday’s meeting is expected to result in another boost in output as the demand outlook continues to recover.

Hawkish Fed shift
The Fed surprised markets last week when it projected two potential rate hikes in 2023, sooner than markets had anticipated and signaled that it was also reaching the point where it could begin talking about tapering its $120 billion a month stimulus program.
The shift in guidance was underlined when St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Friday that a move towards faster tightening of monetary policy was a “natural” response to economic growth and rising inflation as the economy reopens in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The question of whether stronger than expected inflation would prompt the Fed to act sooner had already been hanging over financial markets in the run up to the policy meeting.
Powell testimony
Market participants will be closely watching comments by Fed Chair Jay Powell on Tuesday when he is due to testify, via satellite link, on the Fed’s emergency lending programs and current policies before the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.

The economic calendar also features reports on new and existing home sales, durable goods orders, manufacturing and service sector activity and the weekly report on initial jobless claims, which is given close attention, given the uneven recovery in the labor market.

S&P500 - Heading for a 10 - 20 % correctionS&P500 - Heading for a 10 - 20 % correction
The break of the trend line is a significant sign and one of the first signs of market crashes.
US Stock In Play: $FINV (FinVolution Group)$FINV broke out of a consolidated major moving averages whipsaw before the start of the month, attaining a +29.44% rally in a span of 3 weeks. The current closing price of $FINV at $10 is a new 3 years high, 29% away from its IPO high ($12.91) in November 2017.
The breakout of its 52 weeks high at $10.38 will setup a pathway for $FINV garner stronger momentum and participation towards its next target at $12.91.
$FINV an investment holding company, operates an online consumer finance marketplace in the People’s Republic of China. It operates a fintech platform that connects underserved individual borrowers with financial institutions. The company’s platform provides standard and other loan products. As of December 31, 2020, it had approximately 116.1 million cumulative registered users.
US Stock In Play: $OOMA (Ooma Inc)$OOMA presented a solid price increase over a period of 11 days, reflecting investors’ continued willingness to pay more for the potential upside in a stock. In the latest bullish flag breakout, $OOMA gained +22.2% over the last 6 trading days and successfully established a new all time high at $24.10.
The negative free cash flow of $OOMA may make it a less-desirable investment, however the stock price currently still remains significantly undervalued relative to its peers. It should be well-positioned to capitalize on the seismic tailwind due to the stay-at-home mandate in US.
$OOMA creates connected experiences for businesses and consumers in the United States, Canada, and internationally. The company’s smart software-as-a-service and unified-communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) platforms serve as a communications hub, which offers cloud-based communications solutions, smart security, and other connected services.

The latest closing price of $9.25 is a new 52 weeks high closing for $SUP.
With implied volatility still remaining almost 25% away from its March peak of $0.60/day ATR-14 range, the highlighted Bearish Shooting Star reversal signal along with diminishing trading volume over its consecutive up-days may imply an imminent heavy profit session within the week. Further upside for $SUP requires immediate trading sessions to recapture this week’s high of $9.65 to negate the highlighted bearish signs.
$SUP designs, manufactures, and sells aluminum wheels to the original equipment manufacturers and aftermarket distributors in North America and Europe. The company supplies aluminum wheels to the automobile and light truck manufacturers. It offers its products under the ATS, RIAL, ALUTEC, and ANZIO brand names.
