SPX +73.06 7,209, a new all-time closing high, bounced above the high of the low day in a bull flag pattern.  Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. Volume was near average for the first time since April 8. This indicated that institutions were buying today at all-time highs.  A great technical sign if you’re expecting the uptrend to continue.

VIX had its largest single-day decline since April 8 and its lowest close since February 2 at a 16.34 close, a sign that institutions were unwinding hedges after earnings from mega-caps AMZN, GOOGL, META and MSFT. Thursday AMC mega-cap AAPL reported EPS. 

On Thursday GOOGL +34.86, +9.96% and AMZN +2.02, +0.77% on positive earnings while META -57.21, -8.55% and MSFT -16.68, -3.93% moved lower on a negative earnings reaction.

After hours: AAPL +5.05, +1.86%, gained on positive earnings while WDC -35.00 -8.05% and SNDK -65.51, -5.97% moved lower on a negative earnings reaction.

SPX -2.85, 7,135, pulled back in a two-day bull flag pattern.  Breadth weakened again as decliners led on the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. Volume was below average. VIX closed higher, a sign that institutions added hedges before earnings from mega-caps AMZN, GOOGL, META and MSFT. 

The FOMC left rates unchanged as expected. I was disappointed to hear media ask speculative questions, that some might call drivel, rather than focus on monetary policy.  I appreciated that Chair Powell, in his final press conference as Chair, did a focus his comments on issues that dealt with monetary policy.  A point he made more than once was that the Fed independence issue was about monetary policy not being influenced by politics.  Well done Chair Powell!

After hours: GOOGL +25.35, +7.24%, AMZN +7.21, +2.74% and MSFT +1.43, +0.34% on positive earnings while META -46.92 -7.01% moved lower on a negative earnings reaction.
