Stock market recovers

The new stock market rally looked shaky for most of the week, but then bounced back strongly on Friday.

Some strong labor market data weighed on key indexes, but Friday’s jobs report had some weak elements, particularly lower wage growth. In addition, the ISM services index showed a large decline, signaling a significant slowdown in the economy.

The five best Chinese stocks to watch right now


stocks to see

ELF stock has been slashed quite clearly. Shares rose 4.4% to 58.05 on Friday, breaking out of a flat base on more than double normal volume, according to MarketSmith Analysis. The relative strength lines have been hitting new highs.

SLB stock rose 3.5% to 54.50 on Friday, extending its rally from the 50-day line and completing an early entry in the consolidation. SLB was formerly known as Schlumberger.

CAT stock rose 3.6% to 248.86, definitively entering buy zone from 6% deep flat sole alongside a deep and lasting consolidation.

RIO stock rose nearly 3% to 74.07, creating a cup with a handle buy points.

KLAC and ATKR stock bounced off the 10-week moving average and crossed the 21-day moving average, offering early entries.

UTHR stock is up slightly from the 10-week line on extremely tight trading. United Thera could perhaps use a little more strength to clear a short-term downtrend.

PODD stock regained its 50-day line, but pulled back and closed just below the 21-day line. A move above the 300 level will provide an early entry in a flat background.

TJX stock has broken out of a flat flat base next to a long and deep base cup model.

Tesla Roils China Electric Vehicle Market

Tesla on Friday slashed prices in China and the key Asian markets of Japan, Australia and South Korea. That comes after record deliveries in the fourth quarter missed views for the second straight quarter. With a rapidly shrinking backlog, Tesla needed to act boldly just to try to maintain its current deliveries.

The Tesla Model 3, which is facing stiff competition in China, is now about $600 more than a similar BYD Seal, essentially wiping the gap of nearly $10,000 in just a few months. .

The price cuts will affect Tesla’s prized gross margins, the question being how much and for how long they will boost demand for the Model 3 and Y.

Tesla’s price war in China is largely aimed at BYD, the world’s largest electric vehicle maker, or the fast-growing No. 2 company. But BYD is profitable with an umbrella gross margin. bowl firmly. In addition, boosting its exports, including to Australia and on January 31, Japan, could also help protect it.

The electric car price war in China could be a bigger concern for electric vehicle startups. Nio and XPeng are still losing money. Li Auto has had inconsistent returns.

Keep in mind that Tesla’s second China sale in 10 weeks could be just the beginning of a devastating price drop. Tesla has a lot of spare capacity while its competitors are all growing strongly, especially BYD. And they are all moving strongly into the $30,000-50,000 range where Tesla resides.

Tesla shares fell 8.2% to 113.06 for the week, continuing a massive sell-off. However, the stock bounced off Friday’s new bear market low of 101.81 to end the session up 2.5%. BYD stock fell 1.55% on Friday, but is still up 7% for the week, above its 50-day moving average.

Shares of Nio, Li Auto and XPEV fell 4.5%, 9.2% and 15%, respectively, on Friday. But they were up 2%-6% for the week.

Tesla stock is clearly looking bad right now, but none of these EV stocks look good.

Analysis of market recovery

The stock market took a positive step on Friday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average moved above the 50- and 21-day moving averages after hitting resistance in recent days. The Dow is more relevant in the current market, with industries, healthcare and many Dow-style companies leading the way, such as Caterpillar.

The S&P 500 crossed the 21-day line, all the way to the 50-day line. The Russell 2000 has regained the 21-day mark but there is still some work to do to reach the 50-day mark.

The S&P MidCap 400 has moved above the 21-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages. So does the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP).

Nasdaq is approaching the 21-day line for the first time in weeks, but is clearly lagging.

Even the Dow is still facing December peaks, while other indexes face many challenges. A move above the 50-day moving average by the S&P 500 would be another big step.

This could signal the start of a more meaningful bull run, even if it’s just a short-term, tradable bull run, but it’s still unclear.

Top stocks, which have generally outperformed the S&P 500 in recent months, showed strong action on Friday, with several breakouts and buy signals. But that was after some nasty reversals earlier in the week and more broadly over the past few months.

Let’s see if the market rally can give momentum to the major indexes and leading stocks. On Thursday, the consumer price index is being updated.


Market Timing with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy


What to do now

Currently, the stock market’s rally is looking more positive. Investors may want to add some risk, whether in individual stocks or through industry-wide market ETFs. But don’t get too excited.

This could be a bullish turn, or just another false head.

The market can quickly reverse lower. Or, the S&P 500 could rally to a 200-day or December top — and fall back down.

Getting small positions can be the best course of action initially. Let the recovery market draw you in. Be ready to cut your losses quickly and still consider taking partial profits quickly.

But this is definitely the time to build your watch list. Make sure you have a diverse list. While growth and the tech sectors are still slowing with a few exceptions like KLAC stock, a large number of stocks from a variety of sectors are being watched.
