Market Rise Analysis
The stock market rally had a bad week, with the Fed being hawkish and often weak earnings weighing on major indices. The Dow Jones index, which led the market upside, saw the lowest decline, but fell below the 200-day moving average. Russell 2000 hit resistance near the 200-day line but recovered on Friday to close above the 50-day line. The S&P 500 was stabbed in 50 days.
The Nasdaq Composite, which never reached the 50-day moving average, fell, closing below its lowest level Follow-up day On Wednesday, a bearish signal.
Major indices extended losses on Thursday, then fell on Friday on the back of a mixed jobs report.
Negative market movement and significant reversals in many stocks led to a “market under pressure” shift.
The main market mover was Fed Chair Powell, who pulled the rug out of the market rally by signaling a shift to smaller but higher price hikes on the fed funds.
Meanwhile, tech giants, including Apple, Tesla and Amazon, have suffered huge losses. Cloud software names like Atlassian and Twilio have faded, with significant factors in earnings and recent trends.
The chips haven’t had a relatively bad week, but there are a few names trading near the highs.
Tesla vs. BYD: Which burgeoning EV giant is the best to buy?
There are many flexible market areas. The healthcare sector appears to be strong overall. Energy names, including a wide range of oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal miners, as well as a few solar stocks, are doing well.
Lithium and some steel plays work well. Infrastructure companies for the energy, utilities and telecom industries are a luminous area. Networking companies in general are a rare leading technology field. Some restaurants and retailers are emerging that offer strong discounts. Many financial institutions, particularly brokers and brokerages, have made solid gains.
However, it is difficult to see a strong recovery in the market with such huge technology sectors reeling. It would be hard enough for the major indexes to advance as Apple, Google, Tesla, and Cloud software names lag. But are you trying to advance with those areas that are sinking or collapsing?
If the inflation reports show a clear and meaningful decline, resulting in a downward shift in the Fed rate increases, then perhaps massive cloud software and cloud software could decline. However, a return to technical leadership may prove elusive. On the flip side, if the October CPI report released on November 10 shows inflation remains brisk, tech stocks may cause major sectors to slide to end the market rally.
Tuesday is election day. The stock market tends to do better with a divided government, and Republicans are set to claim control of the House and possibly the Senate. But political forecasters have been expecting the Republican Party to win the House of Representatives at least all year, so it’s not clear whether Tuesday’s actual results will be much of a catalyst.
Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What are you doing now
The stock market is rising under pressure. The Fed is going from fast and furious to slow and long, but it’s still hawkish. The technology sector is a train wreck. Key indexes undermined some key levels. Leading indices and stocks are subject to significant intra-day and daily fluctuations.
This is not a good environment to buy stocks. Investors should look to reduce exposure, either explicitly or simply by cutting losses on various positions.
If the market rally shows renewed strength, with the S&P 500 and possibly the Nasdaq moving above the 50-day moving averages, investors may start adding exposure. But that will likely require technology to stabilize and inflation data to show some coolness.
If conditions improve, you’ll want to be ready. There are a number of stocks being created, and many of them are not too far behind. So build your own watch lists, be patient and stay engaged.
