Stocks in buy zones

Tesla stock rose 1.7% to 217.61 on Monday after hitting a 2023 high of 221.29 on the day. The shares are still in a range of 207.79 buy points, but they are at the upper end of the 5% chase zone. Tesla stock broke out on Friday from a cup bottom or double bottom. The EV giant has led on above-average volume for six straight sessions.

FTNT stock jumped 4.6% to 71.27, regaining 69.07 buys from a V-shaped flat bottom, according to MarketSmith analysis. The volume was heavy. Fortinet originally broke on May 19, but quickly pulled back to test the 50-day streak before recovering.

DXCM rose 1.7% to 124.66 on Monday, and also reached 126.44 flat-base buy points on the day. Stocks recovered the 50-day line late last week and broke a short trend line. Dexcom shares topped a short-term high on Monday.

SHOP stock rose 2.8% to 59.92, rebounding from the 21-day line. This provides early entry, though Shopify stock has triggered aggressive buys several times in the past few weeks only to quickly fizzle out. Stocks are running on potential base following a solid earnings gap in early May.

WING rose 3% to 203.69, rebounding from the 50-day and 10-week lines, just above the previous hold. The stocks also regained the 21-day line and broke the downward sloping trend line. The volume was light but not bad. Investors can use Monday’s movement as a buy signal. Wingstop stock is on track to have a flat bottom, part of the base-on-base pattern, by the end of the week.

Market rally analysis

The stock market rally saw a dip on Monday, but it looked normal after last week’s big gains. The Nasdaq initially led, but turned red as Apple stock reversed lower. So did the S&P 500.

The Dow Jones fell modestly, but it is still above the 50-day line.

The Russell 2000 fell strongly, closing just below the 200-day line. This is a reflection of weak supply. After the winners dominated late last week, the losers took it easy on Monday.

The Nasdaq 100 rose 0.1%, off a session high. It is still 9.3% above the 50-day line.

First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Mutual Fund (QQEW) also rose 0.1%.

Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Fund (RSP) is down 0.3%, but it is still above the 50-day and 200-day lines. It will be important to maintain this level and eventually make the journey towards the peaks of 2023.

The market rally was led by technology giants and artificial intelligence stocks, including many chip games. While some continued to rally on Monday, the reversal in Apple stock and the recent slide in chips isn’t entirely unwelcome.

While market breadth was negative on Monday, some sectors showed strength or hinted at it.

That includes cybersecurity, with FTNT stock being just one of many top performers. Several restaurant names, including WING stock, are still on the list. Theatrical medical products and systems such as DXCM stock are at or near inputs. Home builders and, to a lesser extent, travel stocks are doing well.
