Hughes Optioneering Team Update by Blaine Markham
Earnings, Volatility, and a FedEx Win
Hughes Optioneering Team Update January 30, 2026: Markets had a busy week as earnings really took the driver’s seat. The S&P 500 finally poked above 7,000 intraday, ran into some resistance, sold off hard, and then bounced nicely by the close. That late‑day recovery was encouraging and keeps the broader uptrend intact, even though things are still choppy and rotational rather than a straight‑up rally.
On the earnings front, reactions were mixed. Meta was the standout, jumping about 10% after earnings and giving the market a boost. Microsoft, on the other hand, dropped sharply and continues to trend lower, which pressured tech and showed just how selective this market is right now.
Quick FedEx trade highlight:
While tech has been all over the place, FedEx has been one of the clear leaders. The stock is in a strong uptrend, just hit new all‑time highs, and a trade sent out recently has already turned into a big winner — close to a 70% gain on paper. Even after a brief pullback, FedEx snapped right back and kept pushing higher, showing that industrials and transports are where the momentum is right now.
