7-1-26 Can July Deliver? | Before the Bell

Stocks reclaimed the 20-day moving average on Tuesday, but the next test is even more important. Markets are now approaching a declining resistance trend line that has capped recent advances, while momentum is nearing a fresh buy signal. In today's Before the Bell, we discuss why this technical setup could pave the way for a breakout toward new all-time highs as July begins. We also examine the seasonal strength that has historically favored stocks this month, the return of corporate share buybacks, and why strong earnings expectations could provide another tailwind. Not every sector is likely to participate equally, however. We review the ongoing rotation back toward growth stocks, what to watch as earnings season approaches, and why disciplined risk management remains essential even in an improving technical environment.
