S&P 500 earnings data (courtesy of IBES data by Refinitiv) continues to show positive sequential increases in weekly S&P 500 earnings estimates for various time frames.The correction being seen in the US equity market - at least so far anyway - isn't supported by a degradation in either the forward 4-quarter S&P 500 EPS estimate or the various time frames covered by the S&P 500's "forward earnings curve".Despite the sharp drop in the large-cap Tech stocks, the Tech sector estimates haven't changed that much.

Over the last several weeks, the S&P 500 has been on a tear, setting records on an almost daily basis despite lacking breadth, with the biggest rises in stock prices concentrated in the technology sector.Until last week, when what we've described as a bubble in stock prices appears to suddenly pop after spiking up to hit an all-time high.Remarkably, the S&P 500 waited to exit the redzone forecast range we've been focused upon for the last six weeks in the alternative futures chart.
