Tesla vs. BYD: Which EV giant is the best to buy?


Market rally analysis

A rally in the stock market added to Tuesday’s gains. The S&P 500 surpassed its intraday high on November 15 and closed within 1% of its 200-day line.

Russell 2000 came right up to the 200-day streak.

The Nasdaq added to Tuesday’s rebound from the 21-day moving average, although it is still below the November 15 high in the short term and well below the 200-day mark.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average came within 20 points of the intraday high of August 16th.

The S&P 500 moving decisively above its 200-day line – which roughly coincides with a year-old downtrend line – is a major test of the market rally.

A slew of economic releases could swing the Fed rate outlook and thus the stock market. On Wednesday, November 30, the JOLTS report for October will feature employment opportunities, and Fed Chairman Jerome Powell will speak later in the day. On Thursday, the Personal Consumption Expenditure Price Index, the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, will be released, along with unemployment claims and the ISM manufacturing index. The November jobs report is due on Friday, November 2nd.

Ideally, the market would move sideways for a few days, allowing the 21-day line to at least catch up, heading into those economic reports.

What are you doing now

The market rally showed some nice gains this week, with more stocks flashing buy signals in the past few days. Investors could have added more exposure as a result.

But they may want to be cautious about making significant new purchases with the S&P 500 hovering below the 200-day line and a lot of Fed economic uncertainty next week.

Also consider taking some partial profits on stocks that are going up quickly. Stocks have been making short-term advances amid a volatile uptrend and sector rotation.

However, investors should work diligently on their investment shopping lists, looking for actionable combinations and names across a variety of sectors.
