- S&P 500 Futures +9.5
- US 10-Year 1.68%
- Dollar Index 98.48
- VIX 14.25
- Oil $52.61
S&P 500 futures are pointing to a higher opening today with the futures pushing up against resistance at 2980. It would seem for now the market is choosing to forgo the gap at 2940 we have been watching in the cash market. If we can continue to hold or get above 2980 on the futures, then perhaps we can make that push higher towards the all-time once again.
Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) will report results tomorrow after the close. NFLX is sitting below a downtrend, which is acting as resistance. Should the stock rise above that price, the stock would have room to rise to $300. A push back to $300 ahead of results would be an incredible feat for the stock ahead of results, given where shares were in late September.
Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU) fell yesterday, filling a small gap, and it should be interesting to see if this stock can get above $122. If it can rise above that level it may push towards $135 seems possible.
