Dow Records Bear-Market Recovery, Tesla Joining S&P

November 16, 2020
By Vlad Karpel

With the market prone to further corrections, the next level of support is set at $350. All three major U.S. indices closed in the green today with the Dow leading as the index neared its first record close in over 10 months. Positive reinforcement from Dr. Fauci and President-Elect Biden supported stocks today as the former supported the latest developments from Pfizer while the latter received guidance from his COVID advisors against a national lockdown. With this news, several sectors, such as airlines, rallied. Tesla stock saw a 9% boost as the company stated it will join the S&P 500. October retail sales, import price index, and industrial production reports are due to release on Tuesday; key earnings to monitor this eek include Walmart, Home Depot, Target, and Nvidia. Last week, markets briefly traded above all-time high levels. Keeping this in mind, our latest models are projecting the SPY to trade between the $340-$360 levels until an additional breakout is confirmed. We continue seeing strong rotation from growth to value stocks and believe the SPY is on its way to retest its recent highs. Similarly, we will continue monitoring VIX levels, as the market can overshoot support and resistance levels when VIX is trading near the $25 level. We encourage all market commentary readers to maintain clearly defined stop-levels for all positions. For reference, the SPY Seasonal Chart is shown below:
