Big day for Nvidia on Wednesday, crossing the $3-Trillion market cap threshold to become the second-biggest company in the S&P...and surpassing Apple in market capitalization. Nvidia is now trading well beyond three standard deviations above its 50-DMA. The last time Nvidia was this extended, back in March, it spent quite a bit of time afterward declining as it worked off the overbought positions. We look at the technical analysis behind this stock. Everyone that is AI-related is where the money is going for now, but at some point this is all going to have to be worked off.

A fairly big correction in Oil Prices over the past few days is now setting up for an opportunity for investors to take profits and rebalance energy portfolios, which are by necessity tied to the price of their underlying commodity. OPEC's decision to allow more production to come online has pushed oil prices down. Oil prices are sitting on support that goes back to February of this year. A bounce in prices will allow you the opportunity to rebalance energy exposure. We're looking for a rally in oil prices to between $76 to $77/share. However--a continuation of slower rates of economic growth could have an effect on commodity prices to the downside.

Markets opened weakly on Monday but rallied at the end of the day to close in the green. Markets continue to bounce along the 20-DMA, and the question will be whether the late-session buying by institutions will continue. Late day rallies are encouraging, as they're occurring against the backdrop of a sell signal, but that's also keeping markets from going anywhere. Markets continue to move sideways as overbought conditions are worked off. The 50-DMA is the line in the sand: as long as we remain above there, there's not much to worry about. For now.

Markets start the month with support sustained at the 20-DMA, although consumer spending is weakening, with retrenchment in Restaurants. Inventories are high while spending is slackening.

Markets broke through the 20-DMA early in the day on Friday, as Bad News was actually bad news. However, in the last hour of the day, a hughe buying surge lifted markets back above the 20-DMA, allowing markets to hold support, and remain within a bullish trend. Markets are still on a sell signal, suggesting upside may be limited. The current market grind may continue for another week or so, and the next, best set-up for correction may not occur until right before 2024 the election.
