Stocks look for direction ahead of a packed earnings calendar, with major tech names like Alphabet (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) set to report. The S&P 500 (SPX) is coming off a record high, and Kevin Green says the market's positioning suggests further gains are possible. UPS (UPS) and UnitedHealth (UNH) both beat earnings expectations, with UPS rallying 12% and UNH up 3% in pre-market trading. Meanwhile, a reported merger between Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) and Qorvo (QRVO) could face regulatory scrutiny.
