Likewise, the latest monthly inflation report offered promising data which, alongside strong earnings, boosted U.S. benchmarks to start the trading session. Twitter released earnings after market close on Tuesday which helped the stock rise over 13% today as the company reported its second-ever $1 billion quarter.

On Monday, U.S. markets will remain closed in observance of President’s Day. Globally, European markets closed in the red while Asian markets finished impressively higher. We continue to see a strong rotation from growth to value stocks and until an additional breakout is maintained, our models are projecting SPY to trade in the range of $364-$390. It is our opinion that the market could be prone to further corrections and the next level of support is set at the 50-day moving average, $364-$370.
