Market Rise Analysis

The stock market rally ignored some mixed early weakness to close higher. The Dow, which just crossed the 200 line on Monday, led the way with a fifth straight gain. Russell tested 2000, which exceeded that long-term average on Friday, and held it on Tuesday.

The S&P 500 almost reached the 200-day line before pulling back. But it was certainly not an outright rejection.

Nasdaq has a short distance to reach 200 days.

Arguably, growth stocks are worth a breather.

There may also be some rotation in “real economy” sectors such as energy, commodities, retail and even some names for transportation.

But growth reluctantly gave up the land. The Nasdaq, down more than 1% in the morning, rose to modestly positive before slipping to finish slightly in the red. ARKK names and speculative growth have subsided somewhat.

Meanwhile, BBBY’s stock shows meme-mania is escalating once again.

What are you doing now

The stock market rally is hovering around a major resistance area, with some rotation, at least in the short term, towards natgas, retail and other real economic names.

Investors should continue to be cautious about adding exposure. If you add, say, EQT or Costco stock, that’s fine, but don’t bundle your wallet with natgas and retailers.

Perhaps this week’s winners will continue to run and lead for a while. Or the Nasdaq could quickly take over again. Or the market rally could see a significant pullback to the 21-day line.
