4:05 PM 21 January 2022
  • US stocks opened lower
  • Netflix (NFLX.US) puts pressure on tech stocks 
  • Peloton (PTON.US) attempt to recover after yesterday slump

Us indices launched today's session lower, extending yesterday's losses. Netflix stocks weighed on the tech sector, after the company showed a slowdown in subscriber growth. Meanwhile Treasury yields continued to decline from recent highs. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dropped for a third straight day to 1.75%. Next week market attention will focus on the Fed monetary policy decision next week and further earnings reports from major US companies including Apple and Tesla which investors fear could disappoint. 

US30 index fell sharply on Thursday, however buyers managed to halt declines around major support zone 34720 pts which is marked with lower limit of the 1:1 structure, previous price reactions, 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the upward wave launched in October 2021 and lower limit of the ascending channel. As long as the index sits above this zone, another upward impulse may be launched. However should break lower occur, support at 34000 pts may be at risk. Source: xStation5
