Market rally analysis

The stock market rally continues to show constructive action, trading in a narrow range after a modest decline and support last week. On Tuesday, the major indexes rebounded from Monday’s losses.

The S&P 500 has bounced off the 10-day line, right at the 4000 level, as it moves towards the 200-day line. Although it was no higher than the intraday high on November 15, it was the index’s best close in more than two months.

The 50-day streak is Just It started rising on the S&P 500.

Russell 2000 is approaching 200 days. The S&P MidCap 400 Index, which held its 200-day line last week, posted more gains.

The leading Dow Jones index surpassed the 34,000 level for the first time in three months, just below the peak on Aug. 16. The lagging Nasdaq found support at the 21-day line, just above the 50-day line, but it didn’t recoup all of Monday’s losses.

All of these indexes run on knobs, with the Dow Jones sneaking up above. Most of the stocks follow the movement of the main indices, so a lot of handles are formed on the stocks near the buy points. A little longer pause, perhaps until key economic reports late next week, could allow the moving averages to start catching up.

What are you doing now

Until the S&P 500 moves decisively above the 200-day line, investors may not want to add too much exposure right now. With trading muted over the Thanksgiving holiday and important economic data released by the Federal Reserve next week, the market’s rally could be range-bound in the short term.

This can help stocks from a variety of sectors create handles and gain ground. Investors should build their watch lists. It’s definitely time to look beyond traditional technology growth stocks, which are often lagging behind right now.

Since many of the leaders extend from moving averages, such as Excelerate Energy stock or BTU, it is critical that you look for early entries and act quickly.
