S&P 500 Price Trend Flashes Warning Signals But This Expert Says 'Start Looking For A Buy Signal' After Last Week's Drawdown
The S&P 500 index jumped over 2% on Friday, after a fall into the correction zone on Thursday last week, whereas the Nasdaq continues to be in the correction territory. While technical analysis points toward bearish trends, this analyst says that investors can start looking for buy signals.
What Happened: As of Friday, the S&P 500 index was 8.27% down from its 52-week high, which followed a bounce from Thursday's 10.18% drawdown. Similarly, Nasdaq 100 was 11.33% lower from its 52-week high as of Friday.
According to Benzinga Pro and Edge Rankings, the technical analysis of the exchange-traded fund tracking the S&P 500 index, SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) were flashing warning signals.

If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it?
Despite that Jay Kaeppel, the senior market analyst at SentimenTrader via his Panic/Euphoria analysis model showed that the S&P 500's decline was still not flashing a buy signal. However, from this point, investors could "Start looking for a buy signal".
According to the chart shared by him, when the Panic/Euphoria line falls below the Excessive Pessimism level, investors could expect a bounce back with an average of over 7% return after two months and 28% returns after a year. But, this follows a series of red dots representing that investors should take a backseat.
Hence, as his model shows the presence of only one red dot, Kaeppel doesn't forecast a buy yet, but the start of a potentially emerging buy signal.
Why It Matters: SPY fell below its 200-day moving average on Thursday after its longest-ever streak and its technical charts showed that it was below all its short and long-term moving averages. The MACD momentum indicator was negative 11.38, signaling a downtrend in the short-term and its relative strength index of 37.72 was in the neutral zone.
Similarly, the Edge Rankings showed that SPY had a poor price trend in short, medium, and long term, with a momentum ranking of 64.34 percentile.

This Teen Built a Game on Roblox -- Then Sold It for Millions
Teen developers are striking gold on Roblox (NYSE:RBLX), and investors are quietly pouring in behind the scenes. A 19-year-old who built Blue Lock: Rivalsan anime-inspired soccer gamesold it for over $3 million just months after launch. At its peak, the title hit more than 1 million concurrent players and was generating roughly $5 million per month for Roblox. The buyer? Do Big Studios, a firm that's been actively snapping up hit titles across the platform, including Grow a Garden, which broke records in June with 21 million simultaneous playerssurpassing Fortnite. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with RBLX. What's fueling this surge in deals is a structural shift in Roblox's ecosystem. A December platform update quietly made it easier for developers to transfer ownership of their gamessomething that used to violate Roblox's terms. That's opened the floodgates. Voldex, another acquisitive player, bought Brookhaven RP in February in a deal CEO Alex Singer described as bigger than Embracer Group's acquisition of Welcome to Bloxburg, which had been reported at around $100 million. Most of these deals are brokered on Discord. Many sellers remain anonymous. But behind the avatars, there's real moneyand increasing interest from capital providers like Raine Group and Shamrock Capital. Roblox's creator economy is now attracting serious financial attention. The platform is on track to pay out over $1 billion to developers this year, with the top ten creators earning $36 million each over the last 12 months. Valuations for games typically range from 112 months of revenue, depending on how stable the player base looks. Voldex has even inked partnerships with the NFL to rebrand games like Ultimate Football, extending their shelf life. Roblox isn't actively participating in these secondary market transactions, but the trajectory is clear: this could be the early innings of a new asset class where digital gamesespecially those born in teenage bedroomscommand multi-million-dollar exits.

Prediction: This Stock Could Join Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Apple in the $2 Trillion Club By 2035
Visa, a leading financial services company, is still some ways away from a market cap of $1 trillion. The company's significant growth prospects should lead to superior returns during the next 10 years. 10 stocks we like better than Visa › In 2018, Apple became the first publicly traded company to have a $1 trillion market cap. Since then, several more have joined it at that level and some of them have even exceeded the $2 trillion mark. Today, that exclusive club comprises Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple -- all of which are actually above $3 trillion -- as well as Amazon and Alphabet. Though payment network giant Visa (NYSE: V) hasn't even cracked the $1 trillion valuation ceiling yet -- its market cap is $680 billion as of July 11 -- I think it could join the $2 trillion club by 2035. The financial services powerhouse would need a compound annual growth rate of 11.3% during the next decade to hit that milestone. That would be no easy feat, but here's why the company could pull it off. What happens when you swipe (or tap) a credit or debit card at a point-of-sale system? Transactions of this kind are typically processed in seconds, but what goes on behind the scenes is fairly complex. Visa is at the center of it all, helping merchants connect with issuing banks and, effectively, request the data that shows whether a consumer has the money or available credit to cover the transaction. If they do, the transaction is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Every time a transaction is routed through its payment network, Visa pockets a small percentage of the total. According to some data, in the U.S. last year, there were an average of 1,781 credit card transactions per second, about 107,000 per minute, more than 6 million per hour, and almost 154 million per day. Of course, Visa isn't the only company in this industry, but it is the largest -- and the scale of credit and debit card usage in the U.S. should give investors an idea of the company's potential. There are nearly 5 billion cards in circulation connected to the Visa network, and during the 12 months ended March 31, it supported about 316 billion transactions and $16.1 trillion in payment volume. The company's dominance in the payments segment translates into excellent financial results. Its revenue, earnings, and free cash flow have all grown at healthy clips during the past decade. Meanwhile, it has maintained gross margins of about 80% and net margins in the vicinity of 50%. For a company of its size, that's outstanding. Visa can operate with such strong margins because it has already set up its nearly ubiquitous global payment network. Additional transactions don't meaningfully increase its cost of goods sold. In short, Visa has an excellent business that has performed exceptionally well in the past. That's no guarantee of future success, but there are good reasons to expect Visa to continue along the same path. From its fiscal 2014 through its fiscal 2024, Visa's revenue grew at a compound annual rate of almost 11%, going from $12.7 billion to $35.9 billion. It's net income measured on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis increased at a compound annual rate of 13.8%, going from $5.4 billion to $19.7 billion. The long-term trend away from cash transactions and toward digital ones helped drive these results, but Visa still has ample room for growth. In the next decade, it could perform similarly well as it captures more of the significant share of payment volume that is still handled via cash and checks. The company's biggest competitor, Mastercard, notes that there are still about $12.5 trillion worth of cash and check transactions made annually worldwide. That's before we point out that Visa will also benefit from the increasing use of e-commerce, an area where cash and checks are hardly viable options for most transactions. That should provide Visa with ample growth fuel through the next decade and beyond. True, competition from Mastercard is a risk, as are potential economic troubles that would lead to lower consumer spending activity. However, these challenges hardly change Visa's prospects. The company can perform well despite stiff competition thanks to its powerful network effect. And while macroeconomic headwinds could sap Visa's financial results, its business is built to survive such conditions and continue thriving. Visa is well-positioned to deliver the long-term growth it needs during the next decade to become a $2 trillion company by 2035. Long-term investors should seriously consider purchasing the company's shares and holding them for the long haul.

All-Time Highs for Stocks: These 2 ETFs Still Look Undervalued
The persistent high-interest rate environment has prevented the Vanguard Real Estate ETF from rallying. International stocks have outperformed but still look attractively valued. There's an excellent high-dividend Vanguard ETF that could still be a smart buy. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard Real Estate ETF › The S&P 500 recently reached a new all-time high, and many stocks are at or near their own 52-week highs. But there are two important things for ETF investors to know. First, not all ETFs are near all-time highs. In fact, some are still down by 10% or more from their recent peaks. Second, just because a certain ETF is at a new high doesn't always mean that it's expensive. And with these principles in mind, here are three Vanguard ETFs that look incredibly attractive even with many stocks reaching new highs. The real estate sector hasn't exactly been a strong performer in recent years. In fact, the Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSEMKT: VNQ) has produced a 73% total return over the past decade, compared with 264% for the S&P 500. However, it's important to point out that the last decade has seen two Federal Reserve rate hike cycles and a pandemic that essentially rendered commercial real estate inoperable for a period of time. The actual businesses of real estate investment trusts (REITs) have generally performed well -- it's just a highly rate-sensitive business. Not only do higher rates cause borrowing costs to rise, but commercial property values have an inverse relationship with the prevailing risk-free interest rates, like Treasuries. While there's no way to know when the Fed will start cutting rates again, most experts agree that the general direction of interest rates over the next couple of years is likely to be downward. This should provide the tailwind the Vanguard Real Estate ETF needs to start producing outsized returns. The Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (NASDAQ: VYMI) just hit a new all-time high on the day this article was written. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's expensive. In fact, compared with U.S. high dividend stocks, it looks extremely cheap. This ETF owns a portfolio of about 1,550 companies based outside of the United States that have above-average dividend yields. But these aren't just companies you haven't heard of -- household names like Toyota and Nestle are among the top holdings, and there are several other major components that you're probably familiar with. As of this writing, the ETF has a 4.1% dividend yield, but of course it might be slightly different by the time you're reading. Here's the key point. The average stock in the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF's index has grown earnings at a 13.7% annual rate over the past five years and trades for just 12 times earnings. That's a remarkably low valuation, especially considering that the stocks in the U.S. counterpart Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEMKT: VYM) have an average P/E of more than 19 and have grown earnings slower. Of course, there are additional risks when investing in international stocks, such as foreign exchange rate risk, and there is still quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy. But this is a massive valuation gap, and it could still be a good time to buy. To be clear, I think all three of these ETFs are attractive right now, and I own shares of all three in my own portfolio. But I bought them because I think they'll perform very well over the next few years -- not the next few weeks or months. Keep that in mind when considering if they're right for your goals. Before you buy stock in Vanguard Real Estate ETF, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Vanguard Real Estate ETF wasn't one of them.
