NDX Closed Lower Following MRVL's Negative EPS Reaction and Weakness in Semiconductor and Technology Stocks...Health Care, Consumer Staples and Real Estate Led Sectors...Markets Closed Monday for Labor Day...Happy Holiday!

© 2025

Markets are closed Monday for the Labor Day Holiday...Have a safe and relaxing weekend!  We're back on Tuesday.

A significant portion of Friday’s selling occurred in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors.  MRVL was lower on a negative EPS reaction and all but one of the 25 semiconductor stocks in SMH moved lower in sympathy.  Only TER +0.30% was positive.  Heavy selling also occurred in NVDA, AVGO and AMD.  In the consumer discretionary sector there was heavy selling in TSLA.

Notwithstanding weakness in semiconductor stocks and the technology sector, the SPX is just .64% below its all-time high on Thursday.  A one-day pullback with a lower shadow on Friday’s candle does not change the four and half month uptrend.  We are looking for a re-breakout and new highs next week.

SPX -41.60, 6,460, pulled back on a breakout test following Thursday’s breakout to a new high.  Breadth was mixed and weaker on Friday.

NDX -1.22%, closed lower following weakness in semiconductor and technology stocks following a MRVL negative EPS reaction.

DJI, 45,544 -0.20%, traded in a range, closed slightly lower, led by weakness in CAT, NVDA and MSFT.

MRVL -14.36, -18.60%, opened lower on a negative EPS reaction on an EPS beat, sales slight miss and softer guidance. 

DELL -11.90, -8.88%, opened lower on a negative EPS reaction on an EPS, Sale beat, raised FY 2026 guidance, issued softer guidance for Q3 EPS.

NVDA -5.99, -3.32%, moved in sympathy with a negative MRVL eps reaction, formed a 3-day bull flag pattern.

AVGO -11.26, -3.65%, is a bull flag bounce pause day.

Mega caps BRK/B, GOOGL, rose and AAPL, MSFT, AMZN, META, TSM, NVDA, TSLA, AVGO fell on Friday.

SPX, NDX Form Inside Day in Bull Flag Price Pattern...Energy, Basic Materials Led Sectors...Powell Jackson Hold Speech 10 am ET Friday...

© 2025

SPX -25.61, 6,370, opened lower, traded in a range, formed an inside day continuing a bull flag price pattern for a potential entry on Friday if it bounces above the high of the low day.  Technology related stocks PLTR, NVDA, AMD, META, TSLA and AVGO also traded in a range and AMD, META, TSLA and AVGO formed inside days.

Volume was lighter and breadth continued mixed on Thursday.

Former Fed staffer Julia Coronado said after the June 2024 FOMC press conference, Powell was “disciplined and vague” and “optimistic and cautious” and “I think we learned very little and that was the intention.”  If you approach Friday’s Jackson Hole Speech at 10:00 am ET with this expectation, you will likely NOT be disappointed.

Before the September 17, 2025, FOMC meeting, there will be another PCE release, a Jobs Report, CPI and PPI releases that will provide additional data for the Fed’s next decision.  If you’re hoping that tomorrow Powell will ignore those releases and tell you what the Fed is going to do in September, you’ll likely be disappointed.

NDX -0.46%, six-day bull flag pattern with an inside day.

DJI, 44,785, -0.34%, a pullback day, also in a bull flag pattern, led by weakness in GS, WMT and HD.

NVDA -0.24, -0.14%, formed a dragonfly doji and is a two-day bull flag setup.

AVGO -3.74, -1.27%, is a bounce setup or a five-day bull flag pattern.
