United Airlines (UAL), American Airlines (EEL), FedEx (FDX), Amkor technology (AMKR) and On holding (ONON) all approved purchase points.

Tesla, On Holding and Nvidia shares are on the IBD Leaderboard, while UAL shares are on the Leaderboard Watchlist. United Airlines and ONON shares are at the IBD 50. Tesla shares are at the IBD Big Cap 20. United Airlines was Tuesday’s IBD Stock Of The Day.

Is the decline in the market over, or is this just a one-day failure? That’s a big question. Investors can take advantage of buying opportunities, cautious but ready to step back if positions or the broader market pulls back again.

US Mulls AI Chip Export Borders

In addition to possible lost business for Nvidia, AMD and others, expanded chip exports could spur China to retaliate. Beijing has already limited sales of Micron technology (MU) chips to key customers, citing cyber security concerns. Micron, which reports Wednesday evening, went down overnight.

In other news, Spirit AeroSystems (SPR) late on Tuesday reached a preliminary agreement with striking workers, who will vote on it on Thursday. Spirit Aero makes 737 fuselages for Boeing (BA). The SPR share rose modestly in pre-market trading. The BA share rose higher.

Market rally analysis

The stock market rally had a clear bullish session. Indices bounced back around a key near-term level in higher volume, with strong breadth and a number of stocks flashing buy signals.

The Nasdaq and S&P 500 rebounded from around the 21-day lines. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones and Russell 2000 have regained that key level.

Advancers easily beat decliners on Tuesday.

Airlines and travel were big winners, but chips, software, industrials, transport and the broad housing sector also showed bullish action.

Energy is still a weak area, while biotechnology and certain sectors are struggling.

Tuesday may have marked the start of a new stage in the market rally. Nasdaq arranged a subsequent follow-up day. But it hasn’t quite broken its recent decline and is just below the 10-day mark.

The AI ​​chip export curb report to hit Nvidia overnight is an unexpected headwind.

Also, after Tuesday’s rebound, the Nasdaq is 6.5% above its 50-day moving average, while the Nasdaq 100 is up 7.5%. It didn’t take much for them to reach extreme levels again.

Time the market with IBD’s ETF market strategy

What to do now

With the stock market rally showing positive signs, investors could certainly look for places to add some exposure. There is still a risk that the pullback is not over, and that Tuesday’s buying opportunities will quickly go south. But if you’re waiting for definitive evidence that the pullback is over, such as the Nasdaq hitting a new high, it will be too late to chase stocks.

One possibility is to take smaller positions in new purchases. Be ready to move fast and consider taking partial profits quickly to lock in some gains.

Make purchases as close to listings as possible. It will provide some protection against stock and market reversals.

Definitely have the watch lists ready. Broad progress with diverse leadership means that it is more difficult to keep track of all the promising stocks. But it’s a good problem to have.
