Stocks in the buy zone
Visa stock rose 2.8% to 234.32, hitting a short-term high above the 50-day line. A little above the trend line. All of these offered buying opportunities for the Dow Jones giants. Visa’s flat base buy point is 235.57. Some might view the 8% depth base as a clue to a massive consolidation that goes back almost two years.
MA shares rose 2% to 387.67, partially clearing short-term levels after regaining the 50-day line last week. MarketSmith’s analysis shows Mastercard’s benchmark shares are also flat, with an official buy point of 392.20.
JPM shares rose 3.5% to 143.43, rebounding from the 50-day line. This is slightly above the buy point of 143.37 on a flat basis. JP Morgan and other big banks passed the Fed’s stress test. The banking crisis earlier this year hit small banks hard.
Visa, Mastercard and JP Morgan’s current bases all border breakouts from previous consolidations that failed. The relative strength lines for these financial giants are weak, reflecting the underperformance of the S&P 500 over the past few months.
GE shares surged 0.6% to 107.74, hitting a five-year high and expanding its gains from this week’s 21-day and 10-week lines. This will be the second time General Electric has tried a 10-week line since its breakout earlier in the year. GE stocks, meanwhile, have broken most of their tight three-week pattern. Both offer an opportunity to open a position or add a few shares. The RS line is right at its long term high.
RMBS shares jumped 5.5% to 63.10, rebounding above the 21-day line after rebounding from the 10-week line earlier in the week. The stock has fallen from its intraday high of 64.49. Rambuth, one of the first big winners to break below the 21-day line during the market pullback, has recovered.

Apple stock closed at $2.98 billion in market capitalization, but is expected to top that figure on Friday’s opening.
market rise analysis
A pause in the Nasdaq and the broader market moving forward would be ideal for the current rally in the stock market. Many growth strategies may still be put on hold, but investors probably don’t want a hard shakeout. On the other hand, solid market breadth and improved leadership are positives.
Even if the Nasdaq were to trade flat or slightly lower for a few days, the gap with the 50-day line would narrow somewhat, giving growth stocks a little more upside.
The Dow Jones rallied from the 50-day line early in the week and held firm from the 21-day line. Approaching the 200-day line on June 23, the Russell 2000 has recovered most of its recent losses.
The same is true for the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP). The RSP rose 0.8% on Thursday and 2.5% for the week. The First Trust Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted Index ETF (QQEW) lost some compared to a 0.2% drop in the Nasdaq 100.
The chip and software session was relatively quiet.
Nvidia (NVDA) met the day within the day, just above the 21st line. The backlash and backlash from the 21st may allow for aggressive entries in the near future. Meanwhile, some, if not all, software plays that acted bullish on Wednesday retreated on Thursday.
The overall housing sector looks solid. Builders are expanding their business, while building materials and retailers are doing well. Industrial stocks such as General Electric have risen, as have some steel markets.
Some financial stocks have performed well, with payment-related stocks such as Visa, JP Morgan, insurance companies and banks sending buy signals. Travel dramas continued to perform well. Cruise lines and airlines are leading the way, but hotels and rental cars are being established as well. Some would view Visa and Mastercard shares as a travel strategy, in part, given their reliance on cross-border payments.
Several medical product companies are near the purchasing point.
Timing the Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
what to do now
Stock market rally continues to offer buying opportunities. Financials and industrials took the lead on Thursday, but RMBS shares showed weakness in some tech stocks.
Having diverse leadership can help you avoid big one-day drawdowns in your portfolio.
Investors may be nibbling on a variety of opportunities, but the current market environment is not the best time to significantly increase exposure in the very short term. There is no need to buy anything new, especially if you have already invested heavily.
If you are making a new purchase, try to act close to the point of purchase. This will minimize the risk of a downside reversal, as some software stocks did on Thursday.
So keep your watchlist up to date and send us your alerts. Then be proactive so that you are ready to take action.
