Stock market action: what to do now
Now is an important time to read IBD’s “Big Picture” column, as the major stock indices are seeing a fresh bid to rally in the stock market.
A day after Thursday’s move corrected the stock market, Friday marked the beginning of a new attempt to rally. This is because IBD considers a bearish day’s close in the upper half of its true range as a rosy bullish day. We recommend an exposure range of 20%-40% for now.
Monday was the second day of the rally attempt, so a follow-up day could happen on Wednesday.
But you can find many of the next uptrend leaders long before the follow-up happens.
One way to do this is to use the relative strength line. The RS line measures the performance of a stock’s price against the S&P 500. Look for stock charts where the line is heading upwards, meaning the stock is outperforming the S&P.
The RS line is found on all IBD and IBD MarketSmith charts. In addition, the IBD stock screening device Includes a list of top rated stocks with streaks at new highs. MarketSmith also has an “RS Blue Line Dot” listing, which shows RS lines at new highs.
Two useful MarketSmith checklists to check once a follow-up has occurred are Breaking Out Today and Near Pivot. The latter shows arrows approaching buy points in the bases, while other flags arrows rise past buy points during the session.

Tesla stock
IBD leader Tesla rose 7.3% on Monday, snapping a six-day losing streak. However, stocks are still sharply below the 50-day line. Amid the recent sell-off, it is clear that the stock needs more time to consolidate before a new entry emerges.
Early Monday, Baird analyst Ben Callow outlined several catalysts for the stock in the second half of the year.
Car price cuts and pressure on Tesla’s gross margins will continue to be the main story for the global EV giant, Kallo wrote Monday. However, Calo added that TSLA could be pushed higher by the launch of the Cybertruck – expected in the third quarter – and other factors. Baird maintains an outperform rating of TSLA with a price target of 300, 30% higher than where the shares are currently trading.
Dow Jones leaders: Apple and Microsoft
Among Dow Jones stocks, Apple rose 0.8% on Monday, adding to Friday’s gains. The stock remains squarely below the 50-day line after sharp losses in recent weeks.
Microsoft shares remain directly below the 50-day line, which is a sign that the stock needs more time to consolidate before a new buy point emerges.
