July 23 (Reuters) - Wall Street futures were little changed onTuesday amid a flurry of mixed corporate earnings, as investor focus turned to BigTech results scheduled laterin the day to gauge ifthe market's recent record-breaking rally has momentum to spare.
With investors returning to megacap growth stocks on Monday, the S&P 500 .SPX and the Nasdaq .IXIC logged their biggest one-day gain in more than a month, snapping a three-day losing streak triggered byinvestors exiting megacaptech stocks in favor of underperforming sectors.

Alphabet GOOGL.O and Tesla TSLA.O, two of the so-called Magnificent Seven companies, are set to report quarterly results after markets close. In a largely mixed premarket session for the group, their shares were up 0.3% and 1.2%, respectively,
"The consensus seems to be for encouraging figures later, with surveys suggesting investors are expecting earnings results, (not necessarily lower rates from the Fed), to drive the next leg in the equity rally," analysts at ING said in a note.
"On a total return basis, the Magnificent Seven has lost close to 8% this month, tonight's release therefore will have a big say in whether the rally resumes."

United Parcel Service UPS.N slumped7.8% after missing earnings estimates on subdued packagedelivery demand and higher labor-contract costs.
Coca-Cola KO.Nrose 1.0%, whileComcast CMCSA.Ogained 2.2% after results.

Economic data scheduled for this week including the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, will be crucial in assessing the monetary policy outlook amid the recent inflation downtrend and signs the labor market is easing.
Bets of a 25-basis-point interest-rate cut by September have shot up to nearly 92%, from nearly 60% last month, according to CME's FedWatch Tool, with two rate cuts expected by the year end.
Among other single movers, NXPSemiconductors NXPI.O slumped 7.9% after the company forecast third-quarter revenue below estimates, as it battles sluggish demand from automotive customers.
