Share this:
On Thursday (July 23), U.S. stocks encountered a sell-off, which was led by shares in Technology Hardware & Equipment (-3.26%) and Software & Services (-2.55%) sectors.
While the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.31% and the S&P 500 dropped 1.23%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 slumped 290 points (-2.67%) to 10580, the biggest loss since June 11.
Profit-taking has been seen in tech shares following their recent strong run. Tech giants Tesla (TSLA -5.0%) and Microsoft (MSFT -4.4%) came under pressure after reporting quarterly earnings in late Wednesday.
So, how are the five prominent tech stocks FAANG -- Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX); and Alphabet (GOOG, Google's parent) -- faring at this potential turning point?
Netflix (NFLX) has slumped an accumulative 9.4% since posting downbeat second-quarter earnings last week.
Facebook (FB) will release earnings on July 29 (Wednesday), while Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet (GOOG) will do so on July 30 (Thursday).
Technical analysis for FAANG stocks are given below.
