Positive expectations concerning Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) earnings and the recent pullback will likely cushion the market on Wednesday despite the economic overhangs. After Tuesday’s lackluster performance, stock futures are pointing to a higher start.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium on Friday is the most-watched catalyst of the week, potentially keeping traders on tenterhooks. Traders may also draw cues from a set of preliminary private sector activity readings and new home sales data, due after the market close, the direction of oil prices, and the bond yields.

Stocks closed on a mixed note on Tuesday, as traders weighed in on S&P’s downgrade of a slew of regional bank stocks and the possibility of further Fed rate hikes. The major indices opened higher but saw volatility throughout the session before closing mixed.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index closed marginally higher, while the S&P 500 Index, Dow Industrials and Russell 2000 Index experienced modest to moderate losses.

Financial, energy and consumer staple stocks served as drags on the market.

The current pullback could be limited in depth and duration, said LPL Financial Chief Technical Strategist Adam Turnquist. The analyst attributed the view to the lack of damage to the market depth amid the pullback and the composition of leadership underneath the surface.

“At a high level, while there has been some technical damage, it has not been severe, and overall breadth is holding up relatively well,” Turnquist said. The measure the analyst used to quantify market depth was the percentage of S&P 500 stocks trading above their longer-term 200-day moving average.

“The higher the percentage of stocks above their 200-dma, the more widespread the buying pressure is—implying the market’s advance is likely sustainable,” he said.

The technical strategist noted that over half of the index was still holding up above its 200-DMA, with cyclical or more offensive sectors outperforming.

In premarket trading on Wednesday, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) rose 0.26% to $439.30 and the Invesco QQQ ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ) gained 0.36% to $364.67, according to Zenger News Pro data.

The composite PMI, which combines both readings, is likely to remain unchanged at 52.
