U.S. stock markets were closed on Monday as a result of the Thanksgiving holiday. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and DJI futures all rose. After the main indexes completed long weekly losing streaks, the stock market rose. There were even more large gains on Friday after the Nasdaq Composite had a follow-through day on Thursday. Investors need to participate in the current market surge, but they don’t need to get in at once.

Onsemi (ON), Atkore (ATKR), Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), and Microsoft (MSFT) are stocks that investors should keep an eye on (MSFT). Dollar Tree (DLTR), Onsemi (ONS), and DAL (DAL) may be showing symptoms of weakness, but they are most likely aggressive. It may be best for investors to wait for the right time to get in. At this point, Microsoft stock isn’t an option. There’s a long way to go before this becomes useful. However, it is a mega-cap growing firm that doesn’t seem to be in any real danger. Both Tesla (TSLA) and Nvidia (NVDA) have fallen by more than 50% from their record highs, but Microsoft’s recovery last week wasn’t as significant.

IBD’s Long-Term Leaders and Leaderboard list Microsoft as a long-term investment. The stock of ATKR is included in the IBD 50 index. On Friday, ON stock was featured as IBD Stock Of The Day on the website. Onsemi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals were studied in this article by IBD (REGN). The DAL stock was addressed in this video during a critical market week.

Dow Jones Futures

Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.8 percent against fair value, bringing the Dow Jones futures up 0.2 percent against their actual value. A routine day for the Dow futures market. Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States, and financial markets will be closed. But other exchanges across the globe will remain open. Covid restrictions will be loosened when the number of cases declines, according to Beijing. Several tax breaks accelerated the clearance of property projects, and increased incentives for electric vehicles are among the measures Shanghai plans to loosen Covid limitations on June 1. 

In addition to tax breaks and speedier approval times for property projects, the Shanghai government will be the first in the country to provide new EV subsidies.

A rise in the value of the stock market

Stocks started the week on the wrong foot, with the Nasdaq Composite falling to a 52-week low on Tuesday. After a weak start to the week, key indices made a solid comeback to produce substantial weekly gains. This past week, the stock market had a gain of 6.2% in the DJI. A 6.6% gain in the S&P 500 index was followed by a 6.8% gain on the Nasdaq and a 6.55 percent gain on the Russell 2000 small-cap index. At 2.74 percent, the 10-year Treasury yield is slightly below the 50-day moving average. Last week, the price of a barrel of U.S. crude oil futures climbed to $115.07.

ETFs

Sector and growth funds performed well when the stock market rallied. It was a good week for semiconductor ETFs like VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF (SMH). ON Holding is included in the ETF because of its substantial stake in SMH.

SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF (XME) and Global X US Infrastructure Development ETF (PAVE) were among the top gainers last week, up 9.3 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively. Due to its Delta stock holdings, the U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS) surged 7 percent. 

The ARKK Innovation ETF (ARKK) surged 7.1 percent last week due to the beneficial impact of more-speculative narrative equities. In contrast to Tesla shares, the Ark Invest Genomics ETF (ARKG) only increased 3%. Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood has re-started her NVDA stock purchases.

Buy-Point-Attainable Stocks

As Walmart and Target failed earnings expectations and revised their guidance downwards, Dollar Tree’s stock price climbed by 29 percent last week, reversing a decline of 20 percent the week before. However, Dollar Tree easily exceeded expectations and provided a bright outlook despite the drop in the DLTR stock price after it was sold off because Walmart and Target failed EPS forecasts and guided downward. Before making a purchase, investors should wait for the DLTR stock price to stabilize. As it crosses a trendline and the 50-day moving average, the line almost seems to be actionable. The intraday high of 166.35 sets on Friday might serve as a new resistance level going forward. It’s already at a market high, according to MarketSmith’s analysis of the relative strength line.

When ATKR’s results were released, the stock shot up to a new all-time high of $112.34 but fell as the market sold off. The shares of ATKR slashed through its 50-day and 200-day moving averages on Tuesday but ended the week up 5.4 percent at 107.72. Even though ATKR stock is considered to be breaking a brief downtrend after a three-day rebound on little volume, it might be an early entry. With 115.88 as a possible buy price, investors may wait for a new base in the larger consolidation.

DAL’s 9.3% rise in the last three days of last week came from a single day. The 50-day and 200-day moving averages, as well as a negative trendline drawn from the short-term high of 46.27 set on April 21st, were all broken on Thursday. Even after Friday’s surge, investors may take an early position here. At 46-46, we should anticipate some resistance. 46.37 may be a better buy since it has held up as resistance several times in the previous year. Similar results were seen in the travel industry last week, including United Airlines and Marriott International.

Then United Airlines (UAL) offered positive revenue expectations earlier this month, and after JetBlue (JBLU) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) gave similar guidance this week, travel stocks soared. But Delta (DAL) has stated it would curtail flights this summer owing to crew concerns.

Onsemi was a good pick for investors looking to put their money into a rising stock last week. During last week’s trading, the Onsemi stock recaptured its 200-day and 50-day moving averages. The official buying point is 71.35. RS has already surpassed its previous high point. Five consecutive quarters of triple-digit profit growth for Onsemi is a testament to the company’s five years of triple-digit profit growth.

Microsoft

The shares of Microsoft rose 8.2 percent last week to 273.24 after dropping to an 11-month low the week before. Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) continue to trade below their 50-day and 50-day moving averages. Rallying over the 200-day moving average may signal that the stock is in the position of a long-term leader. Microsoft’s stock is still far off its November 22 high of 349.67 despite its closeness. Furthermore, its RS line is likewise far below its all-time highs. However, Microsoft’s RS line remains considerably below its all-time highs, although it appears better than other mega-cap growth companies. On the other hand, analysts expect higher Apple profits than Microsoft. As a result, it is less vulnerable to a declining customer base and supply chain concerns.

Stock of Tesla

Tuesday, Tesla’s stock price plummeted to 620.37 from its November top of 1,243.49, a loss of almost 50%. Even though Tesla’s shares have suffered several significant losses recently, they have rallied well this week, climbing 14.4 percent to 759.63. The Tesla stock chart, which has been in desperate need of repairs for the last several weeks, has caused a spike in trading traffic. On the chart, there is a great deal of overhead resistance. We’ve just crossed back below the 200-day mark. There are rumors that manufacturing at Tesla’s Shanghai plant is ramping up and that total production will resume soon. The reopening of Tesla stores in China and Shanghai EV subsidies are expected to boost demand for electric vehicles.

Stock of Nvidia

Nvidia’s perspective beat on Tuesday night was greeted with a gloomy outlook on Wednesday, after a 52-week low close on Tuesday. Shares continued to rise over the next three days, resulting in a weekly gain of 12.7 percent to 188.11. Although the firm has a long way to go after a 55% drop in late November, it is still on the road to recovery.

Analysis of Market Rallies

Following Friday’s follow-buying, the stock market’s upswing has continued. On Thursday, the Nasdaq saw a follow-through day, with volume increasing from the previous day, although lower than expected. On Friday, the Nasdaq saw yet another significant price surge, although with more volume than the previous day.

On Thursday and Friday, NYSE volume fell despite solid price increases in the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices. A larger volume on the NYSE is necessary on follow-through days, according to the S&P 500 index. Apple, Microsoft, Facebook parent Meta Platforms (FB), Google parent Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon.com (AMZN), Tesla shares, and Nvidia, all of which are included in the S&P 500, make up the Nasdaq index’s large-cap stocks. Consequently, the overall volume suggests that the S&P 500 has staged a follow-through day.

Dow or S&P 500 closing higher or lower doesn’t matter to investors. One index’s confirmation of an attempted rise is enough. This week’s weekly chart shows a reversal. Indexes have all crossed above their 21-day moving averages, and all have crossed above their May 17 highs, where they staged follow-through before falling the next day. This rally will likely run into further resistance since the indices are still trading below their 50-and 200-day moving averages. It 

Markets haven’t gone apart yet, so we don’t know whether this is a tradeable bounce or one that will stay longer. Several equities have suffered due to the market’s significant downturn towards the conclusion of March. However, many of the largest energy companies are now again overextended. Lithium plays have re-emerged as a popular commodity, but they already seem overstretched. Stocks in pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, such as DLTR and Ulta Beauty, are still looking good (ULTA). DLTR stock and Ulta Beauty (ULTA), among others, are anticipated to settle down soon. In the previous several months, traders have rebounded often, but most growth stocks are still down.
