7/24 Cautiously Bullish. 600 Buying | 100 Selling.
% Stocks Over 50SMA is Bullish – Caution. Primary Indicator is Neutral. 20% Weekly is Neutral.
The market extended gains to new all-time highs on strong earnings and trade deal optimism, notably with the U.S.-Japan agreement capping tariffs at 15%, easing prior tariff fears. Technology showed mixed strength with chipmakers lagging after cautious guidance, while healthcare and industrials led sector gains. Volatility remains subdued, supporting a constructive environment for equities.
Healthcare (+2.0%) and Industrials (+1.8%) outperformed, boosted by strong earnings from GE Vernova and Thermo Fisher. Defensive sectors like Utilities and Consumer Staples lagged slightly. The VXX remains low, signaling investor complacency alongside steady upward momentum in SPY and QQQ.
Key catalysts to watch tomorrow include Weekly Initial Claims and New Home Sales data, which may influence short-term market tone amid ongoing trade developments.
Key Takeaway:
Traders should focus on sectors showing confirmed earnings strength such as Healthcare and Industrials while monitoring tech for potential volatility due to mixed chipmaker guidance. The broad market’s cautious bullishness suggests using dips near key support levels for entries, especially in stocks with strong volume-backed momentum. Avoid chasing extended tech names without volume confirmation and keep stops tight given tariff uncertainty and upcoming economic data.
