MS and META brought down the entire index
USTEC continued its decline following disappointing earnings from two major tech stocks. Despite Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) reporting earnings and revenue above expectations, Apple’s shares fell in after-hours trading due to weaker sales in China. Meanwhile, the VIX has climbed to its highest level since Aug, signaling potential headwinds as elections approach.
USTEC declined steeply and failed to hold the 20000 threshold. The index broke the channel’s lower bound, and EMA21 has death-crossed EMA78, sending a bearish signal.
If USTEC fails to re-enter the channel, the index's downtrend may extend to 19700.
Conversely, if USTEC breaches 20140 after re-entering the channel, the price may gain upward momentum to 20680.
