Elon Musk decided to buy Twitter again

US stock indices are showing a correction, which results in a sell-off of shares of key market players.

At the beginning of trading in New York, Twitter shares on the premarket fell to $ 51.95 compared to Musk's offer price of $ 54.20. The move was made after the billionaire said he was ready to return to his plans to acquire Twitter at the original price, thus seeking to avoid protracted litigation. Tesla shares fell 1.5% after Elon Musk changed his mind about Twitter. Remember that earlier, Musk tried to refuse to buy the company, but Twitter sued him to force him to make a purchase.

The Ford automaker's securities rose 1.5% after Morgan Stanley upgraded the stock's rating to "above market," citing a potential buying opportunity after the recent stock drop. General Motors shares fell 1.8% in premarket trading after the firm lowered its target valuation of the stock.

As for the banking sector itself, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs – shares of two banks fell by 1.4% and 1.6%, respectively, after Atlantic Equities downgraded the rating of both companies due to a potential decline in investment banking services.

Everyone's favorite online travel platform Airbnb grew by 0.8%, outpacing the market.

Shares of cruise line companies fell after a sharp rise during trading on Tuesday, when Norwegian Cruise Line said it would waive the requirements for testing for COVID-19, wearing masks, and vaccination. The shares of this company have already fallen by 2%, while Carnival and Royal Caribbean have lost 2.3% and 1.9%, respectively.

The growth of Bionano Genomics shares was in the lead, which jumped by 11.3% after the company published a study on optical genome mapping for liver cancer research.

As for cryptocurrency stocks, Coinbase Global Inc. and Hut 8 Mining Corp. securities also fell after bitcoin declined by more than 1%.

The pressure on the market is not surprising since more Fed representatives are discussing maintaining a hawkish policy. Most recently, New York Fed President John Williams said that interest rates are not yet in place to limit inflation growth and argued that policymakers still have a lot to go through to achieve a return to the target level.

As for the technical picture of the S&P500, after yesterday's growth, demand decreased slightly, as did the index itself. Trading below $3,773 creates some difficulties for a further bullish rally. The bulls will expect a second spurt to $3,773 after strong data on the US economy, leaving hope for a further upward correction. The breakdown of $3,773 will support a new upward momentum, already aimed at the resistance of $3,801. The furthest target will be the area of $3,835. In case of a downward movement, the bulls will declare themselves in the area of $7,735. But a breakdown of this range will quickly push the trading instrument to $3,706 and $3,677 and open up the possibility of updating support and $3,648. Below this range, you can bet on a larger sell-off of the index to a minimum of $3,608, where the pressure may ease a little.
