Equity markets continued to rebound on Tuesday, but investors should not read too much into the move. The S&P 500 gained less than 1% for the day and remains below critical resistance.

However, the bulls ran out of steam around the middle of September and with the wider equity market starting to soften as well, shares dropped 20% through Thursday of last week. There the selling stopped though, with the company’s Q3 earnings catching investors by surprise in the best way possible.
