Markets:

S&P 500 futures ticked higher on Tuesday after the major averages started the busy earnings week on a positive note. Investors are also waiting for the Federal Reserve’s rate decision, due later this week.

Major technology names aided the market’s gains yet again in early trading Tuesday, as Apple, Meta Platforms and Microsoft were each higher by more than 1%, 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively.

Stocks kicked off the week strong. The S&P 500 advanced 0.5% in Monday’s regular session, while the Dow gained about 314 points, or 0.6%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4% as Apple, Meta and Microsoft rose ahead of their earnings reports scheduled later in the week.

More than 90 S&P 500 companies are slated to report quarterly earnings this week. Meta and Microsoft, as well as fellow “Magnificent Seven” giant Tesla, are all due Wednesday. Apple will share its results on Thursday.

Looming this week is the Fed’s first policy decision of the year. The central bank is widely expected to keep its key rate at a target range of 3.5% to 3.75%, but traders will search for clues on when future cuts may come. Fed funds futures trading still suggests there could be two quarter percentage point cuts by the end of 2026, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

On the economic data front Tuesday, traders will be watching for the latest consumer confidence reading and home price data.

Portfolio:

We enter this beautiful new trading day holding setups in GME and TSLL.  We want to add over the next efw sessions.

SPY final bear gap is filled with a nice gap up yesterday. Retest of 690 was a perfect entry for 693.73 level test. Now small resistance TL formed on 65m under 694, which breaking will see 696. Do we get 700 finally one earnings over the next week?

QQQ I mean What a move from 605 just last Tuesday. Full on recovery plus more in to 630. Big earnings tomorrow. Do we see QQQ move to new highs?

The absolute funny part of this, people think a bit of headline news that causes a bit of turbulence is actually a concern while they miss the move. We are in a full blown AI / tech revolution that is still early. Cannot wait for earnings to start coming and then we are in attack mode. Be ready.
