Dow closed up ~500 pts on Oct 20 and the S&P 500 rose for a second straight session (Yahoo Markets News, Oct 20 2026) as a heavy earnings week kicks off. Breadth favors broad large-caps over tech, and VOO notched back-to-back gains (704.6→706.8) with firm momentum, so I expect modest follow-through higher next session. 1d is noisy, so conviction is moderate.
