Top five Chinese stocks to watch now
Energy stocks near points of purchase
Enphase stock rose 4% to 320.44, closing above the 316.97 cup handle buy point for the first time. However, the last three times ENPH stocks hit these areas, they reversed lower. Enphase stock tends to have large daily fluctuations. So investors may be looking to see if ENPH stock retraces to its rapidly rising 21-day moving average.
Some other LNG stocks are showing strength, with Flex LNG (FLNG) break out and Cheniere Energy (LNG) regains its 50-day streak.
BTU stock jumped 6.7% to 29.62, just below the buy point of the 30.15 handle on the seven-month consolidation. Tuesday’s move broke the trend line of the handle, providing an early entry. However, BTU stock is 9.3% above the 21-day line and 17% above the 50-day line. The handle formed after strong earnings from Peabody Energy.
CVR Energy rose 4.85% to 40.85, clearing the old buy point of 39.81 that could still be considered valid. Also, CVI stock has a narrowing three-week pattern with an entry of 42.31. Entry above 41.31 may provide an early entry for this narrowing pattern.
EQT stock jumped nearly 6% to 43.79, and once again broke above the 50-day line after rebounding from the 200-day high on Monday. The stock is breaking a downward sloping trend line. The official buy point is 52.07.
EE stock rose 9.6% to the 30, losing 28.49 cups on a buy-point handle of above-average volume, according to MarketSmith analysis. This move to a record close cleared out a large amount of the trading that occurred way back in Excelerate Energy’s initial public offering in April. EE stock flashed early entries on Friday and Monday, though trading was lower than usual on those days. Excelerate has now extended slightly from the overbought area and has extended well from the 21 day line.
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.
It’s time to market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
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 crucial to look for early entries and act quickly.
