Stock market rally analysis
On Wednesday, the Dow Jones reached a new high. The price of that day and the move of action were strong enough to be a follow-up day, but the IBD decided that the Dow would never count as an improvement. So the direction of the market shifted towards “uptrend resumes” with strong bias towards real economy stocks.
So the question going forward on Thursday was how the divided market will behave. Nasdaq will join the uptrend or it will pull down the expanded market once again.
On Thursday, the Dow Jones advanced to new highs, while the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 also reached new highs.
Strong rally from Nasdaq joint key levels. But Nasdaq volume declined slightly against Wednesday. So Thursday did not qualify as a follow-through day to confirm the Nasdaq market rally.
Rising Treasury yields have seen pressure on growth stocks and have been a major catalyst for selling in recent weeks. If the 10-year Treasury yield can hold its latest range at 1.4% -1.6%, the markets could move it forward. A gradual increase to 2% will not stimulate sales either.
What investors should do now
Investors should try to add exposure as markets rise. Look for stocks that are breaking or sending other bullish signals. Most of them will be real economy names with the exception of Dynatress, Micro .ft and Google stock.
Most development stocks have significant repair work to do. Yes, if you turn these names from the bottom up and keep going, you will see huge benefits. But if the Nasdaq goes upside down, its sales could be just as dire. The goal is not to buy at the lowest possible price, but at a price where the barriers to your success are high.
Investors will also be able to buy ETFs like SPY or Broad Sector ETFs. More aggressive traders can enter growth ETFs like QQ Q or IGV, SMH or FFTY, so the growth rally can be played with a few individual names in the position.
Don’t be forced to step on the gas, especially in this unusual split market. You can probably save a little powder for growth stocks and when those names become actionable again. Also, if the Nasdaq resumes heavy selling, the broader market will come under pressure.
Let the stock market draw you. If the rally gets steam and more stocks explode, you will gradually increase your exposure.
