Market Rise Analysis

The stock market’s bullish attempt saw a strong move on Wednesday, with significant price gains on the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq.

However, trading volume decreased against Tuesday on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchanges. This means that none of the indexes had an extension Follow-up day To confirm the new march.

This may be for the best. All major indices are still below their 21-day moving averages, which have served as a resistance level for most of 2022. Decisively settling this level appears to be the bottom line for investor confidence. Away from the 21-day line, the major indicators still have their February highs with the 50-day and 200-day lines as key levels, not necessarily in that order.

Russell 2000 is back above the 21-day streak, but the February and 50-day peak looms.

The market is still very much driven by the news. The market trend can quickly shift up or down based on the latest headline.

One positive thing: the feeling is going down. Only 29.9% of investment news releases are bullish, below the low of the pandemic crash. Meanwhile, 34.5% are downside. When the bears outnumber the bulls, it’s a strong sign that at least a short-term bottom is looming, though not necessarily immediately.

Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy

What are you doing now

The stock market’s attempt to rally strongly rebounded from Tuesday’s heavy selling, despite lighter trading volumes.

Investors can add quite a bit to their exposure, and perhaps branch off from the energy/commodity sectors that did well in 2022. Unlike late January and early February, quite a few stocks are setting up or flashing buy signals.

While this article has highlighted Micron stocks and other chip games, health insurance, cybersecurity, construction product and shipping companies are taking shape as well, along with more energy, mining and metals plays.

But until the major indicators regain the 21-day streak and the market rally has a day to follow, you should keep your exposure modest. Regression risks remain high.

This is an important time to work on your watch lists. Cast a wide net of stocks at the bases with strong RS lines. Then focus on a select list of actionable names or so close that you see them as a potential big winner.
