Fri (2/20)
- No “mega-cap” style headliners stood out from the sources above; typically a lighter day.
(General source note: Investing.com’s earnings calendar is the hub, and the company earnings pages confirm dates; I used company IR pages/press releases to pin down pre vs post timing when available.)
30-day stance: Neutral (lean bearish until proven otherwise)
Why: The tape just put in a down week across SPY/QQQ/IWM, with QQQ weakest and leadership narrowing—classic “risk-off / rotation” behavior. That said, the next week is stacked with Retail Sales + FOMC minutes + GDP, and big consumer bellwethers (WMT) can quickly change the narrative. If price reclaims key levels quickly, neutral flips bullish; if we keep failing rallies and breaking support, neutral flips bearish.
