The Weekend Rip: We Have More Earnings

Good afternoon people of Earth. Earnings season is still in full swing. Last week we got numbers from Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook. This week many high flyers such as Chegg, Twilio, Etsy, Roku, Square, and Datadog are scheduled to report earnings. It should be another busy one, get some rest.

We saw a crazy rally into the close on Friday. In case y’all missed it, here’s the 5-min $SPY chart. Will this strength carry over to next week?
