If you’re going to keep an eye on earnings for just one week this quarter, it should be this week.
With major indices once again at the highs heading into the peak of earnings season, it’s obviously a huge week for U.S. equities. Of course, we’ve seen this story before.
Here are 7 earnings reports to watch this week :
While one should approach trading each stock individually, watching and trading the E-mini S&P futures can afford us with early indications and clues to how the broader equity markets will trade this week.
Looking at the Dow Jones Industrial Average
We have important Quarterly XOP resistance at 34594.45.
On the E-mini S&P futures :
ES Monthly chart
We closed last week below Q XOP (4178.25) after the volatility around Biden's proposed Capital Gains Tax ( which should not surprise most investors given we knew about this for more than a year now )
ES W
Weekly Trend Push still in play.
ES Daily
Weak dynamic pressure on the Daily.
Q XOP will be the market fulcrum for the ES this week.
ES240
Market structure still printing higher highs and high lows while we consolidate against Q XOP. 4178.25 will likely be the market fulcrum going into this week's trading.
If you are bullish US equities going into this week's earnings,
seeing the ES break above Q XOP (4178.25) should support that bias.
One should adopt a more cautionary tone if we see a strong reversal off from Q XOP
Developing a gameplan for Q1 earnings and combining that with multi-timeframe analysis of the E-mini S&P futures market ( powered by DiNapoli Tools) give us a significant advantage over the general market participants - this week at least.
Best of Trading,
Good luck!
