EXPE stock rose 6.5% to 191.55 last week, reclaiming the 50-day streak. according to MarketSmith Analysis. Investors can use a downward sloping trendline from the top of the base to find an early entry around 195.

Expedia stock has a three-digit price-to-earnings ratio. High-value PE stocks haven’t performed well in recent months. However, with Expedia earnings expected to rise 364%, this may be an exception.

Expedia stocks rose on Wednesday and Thursday along with many other travel stocks Delta Airlines (DA) earnings and guidance on Wednesday, as the carrier said travelers were not gradually subject to higher fares. Hilton Worldwide (HLT) And Marriott International (March) clears the official buy points Thursday, at least during the day, after crossing the early entry points on Wednesday.

LNG stocks

LNG stocks fell 3.2% to 139.53 last week, but bounced back from its 21-day moving average and 10-week line. This is the second or third 10-week test of Cheniere Energy stocks, but investors can use it to start a small trade or add a few more shares. LNG stocks could be in the process of forming a new base. The RS line is just below the heights.

Cheniere Energy is expected to generate huge profits in 2022 with rising demand for LNG worldwide, especially Europe. The Russian-Ukrainian crisis is drawing more attention, although a Russian gas ban is not on the table at the moment.

Merckstock

Merck stock fell 0.9% to 86.91 last week, pausing after a steady rise in the right-hand side of a cup base. MRK stock has a buy point of 91.50 at the moment, but could have a handle on the daily chart after Monday, giving it an entry point at 89.58. Technically, Merck stock now has a handle on the weekly chart, but it’s barely perceptible. Ideally, the Merck stock will form a slightly longer, deeper handle to eliminate weak mounts. But the RS line is at a 52-week high already.

Electronic Warfare Arrows

Edwards Lifesciences stock fell 3.15% to 120.02 last week. On the daily chart, EW stock has a cup with 131.83 buying points. After Monday, it could have a handle at 125.21 an official buying point.

CHKP Stock

Check Point Software stock lost 4 cents to 142.78 last week, and has traded relatively tightly over the past few weeks. A CHKP stock in a consolidation state can be viewed as a flat base or shallow cup with handle. The point of purchase for a mug with a handle is 145.64. A trend line sloping down from the March high would provide a slightly lower entry.

The current rule followed a long consolidation, arguably going back to the beginning of 2021.

Check Point earnings growth is weak, not expected to improve much. But CHKP stock has a low PE. Palo Alto Networks (bano), a faster-growing and top-notch cybersecurity play, also looks good.

Tesla Stock

Tesla stock fell nearly 4% last week to 985, after losing more than 5% in the previous week. The upside is that the handle now has some depth, presumably to shake up some vulnerable stockholders after TSLA’s strong performance in late March. But the graph is deep and messy. A longer handle, with some tighter action, would allow the major averages to keep catching up.

Tesla earnings are due Wednesday night. Investors can expect solid year-over-year growth, but will likely look forward to the second quarter and beyond.

Will the company discuss the impact of Tesla’s Shanghai shutdown? The EV giant’s main plant has been closed since March 28 due to the city’s strict Covid lockdowns, which do not appear to be ending any time soon.

Investors will also look for new clues about the Tesla Cybertruck, Semi, and other products. But they may not get it.

Market Rise Analysis

The stock market rally continues to grow more fragmented. The Nasdaq Composite is down strongly after falling below the 50-day line the previous week. The S&P 500, now below 200 days, fell below 50 days as well.

The commodity sector is broad and medical and defense companies are the leaders. Insurance companies and REITs are reasonably cohesive. Travel names are back again, with crude oil prices off their March highs, and consumers turning away from merchandise, ready to pay exorbitant prices.

But the Nasdaq lost more than half of its gains in late March. apple (AAPL) and the Tesla holds up well, but it doesn’t look particularly attractive either. As for the other mics, Microsoft (MSFT), nvidia (NVDA) and Google Parent the alphabet (The Google) is approaching its lowest levels recently. Amazon.com (AMZN) and father Facebook ID pads (FBStruggling for months.

The high rate environment is challenging for high value growth stocks. TSLA stock is emerging, but this market hasn’t addressed lone wolf growth.

What are you doing now

The fork market rally, with some sectors rising and others falling, is a challenging trading environment. Investors need to focus on the leading sectors. But don’t get too concentrated in one particular area. One positive aspect of the travel stocks resurgence is that the sector is unrelated to the energy/commodity sector.

With commodity trading, you may look for pullbacks to moving averages as opportunities to initiate or add trades.

Depending on your trading style, you may want to take partial profits on stocks that are up 10% or 15%, to make sure you stay away from trades and make gains.

Don’t be stubborn. If your stocks are not performing, especially those in the lagging sectors, cut your losses and get out. You might think that the previous great growth leaders couldn’t fall any further, but as long as the stock is above zero, it can still drop 100%.

Keep building your watch lists. Buying opportunities can come and go quickly, while market conditions can change quickly. So you want to be ready.

Earnings season will start to pick up next week. Know when your holdings — or key competitors, supplies, or customers — are reporting results.
