Five best Chinese stocks to watch now
Stocks close to buy points
Oil service companies are rallying, even with crude prices near year-to-year lows, perhaps in anticipation of higher prices in 2023. Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) recently released its capital spending plans for next year, suggesting strong demand for service companies such as Halliburton, Schlumberger, ProFrac and more.
SLB stock rose 3.9% to 51.76, returning above the 50- and 21-day moving averages and arguably breaking a tight falling trendline, arguing for early entry. Schlumberger stock is back in a still valid buy zone from a deep cut base. SLB stock should have a new base with a buy point of 56.14 after this week.
Oil services giant Halliburton bounced above its 21-day line, up 3.8% to 37.42, still close to its 50-day line. HAL stock has a buy point of 40.09 from a tumbler base with a 47% handle deep, according to analysis by MarketSmith. It has no obvious early entry. The handle will be long enough to be on its own after this week.
ProFrac stock jumped 6.9% to 23.23, returning above its 50- and 21-day lines and breaking a recent downtrend, as did SLB stock. This could serve as an early entry. ACDC stock should have further consolidation with a buy point of 27.10 after this week. ProFrac shares went public at 18 per share. He’s had three bases since then, with breakouts not working for long.
Tesla Stock
Tesla stock plunged 8.1% to 137.80, hitting a new two-year low. Shares of the electric vehicle giant have plunged 67% from their November 2021 peak and 29% just in December.
Tesla stock has now gone back and forth since its 5-for-1 stock split in August 2020. (TSLA shares also split 3-for-1 in August 2022.)
Tesla’s China sales slowed for a second straight week, according to weekly record data. And that’s despite ever-increasing year-end incentives, which are set to end on January 1. 1 with Chinese EV subsidiaries.
Elon Musk’s Twitter saga raises fears of significant damage to the Tesla brand. Many notable long-term TSLA bulls are increasingly critical of Musk.
Evercore and Daiwa Capital Markets cut TSLA stock price targets on Tuesday, both citing Twitter. Oppenheimer demoted Tesla on Monday.
Tesla stock failed to rally on Monday despite Elon Musk saying he would step down as CEO of Twitter after polling Twitter users on the issue.
Stocks continued to fall on Tuesday even as major indexes and many top stocks tried to take positions. The high volume of selling over the past few weeks suggests that major institutions are unloading or reducing their holdings of TSLA shares.
Tesla has the worst possible accumulation/distribution rating of E.
At some point, Tesla shares may rebound and rebound, but it could take months or even years.
Tesla vs. BYD: Which electric giant is the best buy?
Market rally analysis
After a strong sell-off since December 11. 13 highs, the stock market rally ended its losing streak, just barely.
The main indices looked oversold and probably “due” to a rebound. They got one, although it wasn’t a lot.
The Dow Jones found support at the 50-day line, but the other key indices made no notable technical moves.
The stock market rally remains under pressure.
AAPL stock rebounded from a near-bear market low, but that doesn’t mean it will continue to do so.
Many leading stocks found support at key levels. But their ability to hold and rebound strongly depends largely on the overall market.
Energy names could be a partial exception, given how they trade against underlying crude oil or natural gas prices. Oil service companies like SLB stock and coal producers like Consolidated Energy are doing better right now.
Time the Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What to do now
This is not the right time to buy stocks. While major indexes held firm and some top stocks did not slump, the market rally is still weak.
The S&P 500 returning to the 50-day line would appear to be a minimal sign of strength, with much stronger tests for the 200-day and December highs.
Even if the market rebounds, Tesla’s continued slump on Tuesday shows that not all stocks will follow.
If you feel compelled to play in this market, take pilot positions and be prepared to take quick profits and cut losses.
Continue to look for stocks that are holding up and find support at key levels. Stocks with strong relative strength during weak markets can be leaders in the next advance.
