Options Spy | Selling put options shows signs of a bottom in multiple stocks

A number of banks kicked off the earnings season with better-than-expected results, but investors had to contend with volatility amid rising geopolitical tensions. For the week, the Dow rose 0.8 percent, snapping a three-week losing streak, while the S&P gained 0.4 percent and the Nasdaq fell 0.2 percent.

International oil prices rose more than 6% on fears that a war between Israel and Hamas could exacerbate geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners, said after a strong second quarter, investors need to see at least the same level of results in the third quarter, and as the quarter's tech giants report, other market participants can be expected to follow the leaders. "The probability of a decline in tech earnings this quarter is pretty low."

Gary Bradshaw, portfolio manager at Hodges Capital Management, said it's important for large tech stocks to deliver results and boost confidence. Wall Street is expecting healthy earnings across the board for the tech giants. Large-cap tech stocks have the ability to lead the market in the final quarter of the year.
