Markets Hold Key Support as Earnings Drive Rotation | Intel Drops After Hours | CHART THIS

Markets finished Thursday in a mixed but constructive fashion, with the S&P 500 holding above key support levels and volatility continuing to fade. Despite plenty of headline noise and a heavy earnings calendar, the broader market remains in a neutral-to-positive technical posture.

In today’s CHART THIS, I focus on the importance of using multiple timeframes to separate short-term noise from meaningful long-term shifts. We walk through major index levels, volatility signals, sector rotation, and several individual stocks responding to earnings — including Intel’s sharp after-hours move.

I also highlight improving breadth, early breakouts beneath the surface, and what recent sentiment and positioning data suggest about where we may be headed next.

💡 Topics Covered:
• Key S&P 500 support and resistance levels
• Volatility trends across equities and bonds
• Sector rotation between growth and value
• Earnings reactions from Intel, GE, and others
• Improving market breadth and leadership signals
• Using multiple timeframes to manage risk and expectations
