What drove it. Monday through Wednesday was a rebound. Thursday was the break: SPY –1.18%, QQQ –2.86% and NVDA –4.40% on the heaviest volume of the week, as AI-spending doubt hit the largest tech names after Meta’s earnings. Rates did not drive it, since yields fell on the week.
Track record this week. 1 CONFIRMED, 2 CONFIRMED PARTIAL, 0 CHOP and 2 INVALIDATED. The two INVALIDATED sessions came on Thursday and Friday, and they are published exactly that way.
Coming week. The FOMC decision is Wednesday, Oct 28 at 2:00 PM ET, and Alphabet and Microsoft report after the close that night. Advance Q3 GDP and core PCE land Thursday, Oct 29 at 8:30 AM ET, followed by Amazon and Intel after the close.
