Record Close For S&P and Nasdaq, Facebook Tops $1 Trillion Market Cap

June 28, 2021
By Vlad Karpel

Major U.S. indices primarily closed higher with both the S&P and Nasdaq finishing in the green near-record territory, while the Dow Jones slipped, closing down 0.44%. Facebook shares soared today as the company topped $1 trillion market share for the first time, with the symbol finishing over 4% higher on Monday. The infrastructure deal, inflation level, and COVID variant/vaccine data continue to be the key influencers on the market. With the second quarter of 2021 wrapping up this week, look for earnings to pick up next week. MU, WBA, and STZ are key earnings announcements this week that can potentially influence the market direction. With VIX at the 15 level and the June unemployment number returning, volatility in the market remains active. Globally, Asian and European markets finished in the red. Please watch the critical support levels on the SPY at $416 and $424. The market is trading in a well-defined range and we do expect a short-term correction to spill into July. The top has been set at $420 and we encourage users to consider selling into market rebounds. QQQ has been trading below the 50-day moving average for a few sessions and the market is getting close to an oversold level. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
