SPX +12.74, 7,650 a bounce continuation on Friday, after the FOMC press conference selloff on Wednesday.  Breadth weakened as decliners led on both the NYSE and the NASDAQ exchanges.  Selective buying in technology stocks, mega-caps as VIX fell led to more capital flowing into specific stocks.

RUT 2,860 pullback -14.23. Oil /CL fell -5.62 and closed at 95.47.   

SPX advancers: COIN SNDK HOOD COHR LRCX STX AMAT TER KLAC LITE WDC.
SPX decliners: NUE QCOM ARE GM ACN NFLX CF FISV APP STLD LEN.

SPY +0.98, +0.13%, after declaring dividend of 1.889, above average volume of 65.3 million shares, closed above the high of the low day. 
VIX -0.63, 14.81 closed lower.
NDX +0.67% continued channel bounce above its 30 DMA.
DJI, 51,682 -0.18%, formed a red hammer candle above support.

Up: QQQ, SPY,
Down: DIA, IWM,


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


SPCX closed at 152.71, -2.10, volume of 335.6 million shares was driven by the NDX rebalancing that increased SPCX’s index weighting. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.  In the end if buyers are greater than sellers the stock will rise.  People seem to be willing to speculate on this company’s fundamental future. 

The SPY MFC green line is down at 36.6 price-action on Friday closed above the HOLD and re-broke out of June resistance and is short-term bullish. -5.1

Two of eleven sectors were higher on Friday.  XLK +0.82% led all sectors.
