Meta Platforms recently pulled back, but some traders may think it’s still fighting higher. The first pattern on today’s chart is the gap to new all-time highs after quarterly results beat estimates. That may reflect strong fundamentals in the social-media giant. Second is the weekly close of $736.67 from February 14. META stalled at the level in late June but held it last week. Has old resistance become new support? Third, stochastics are turning up from an oversold condition. Next, the rising 50-day simple moving average potentially suggests an intermediate-term uptrend remains in effect. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is also above the 21-day EMA. That may be consistent with a short-term uptrend. Last, META is an active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 453,000 contracts ranks tenth in the S&P 500 over the last month, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

Tesla rallied sharply in late 2024, followed by a drop in the first quarter. Now, after a long period of consolidation, some traders may think the EV maker is getting ready to move again. The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher lows and lower highs since May. That converging triangle may give TSLA breakout potential. Second, Bollinger Bandwidth has squeezed to a 13-month low. Will that price compression give way to expansion? Third, the rising 200-day simple moving average may suggest a longer-term uptrend remains in effect. Next, prices are trying to push above the 21-day exponential moving average. That may be consistent with increasing bullishness in the short term. Finally, TSLA is a highly active underlier in the options market. (Its average daily volume of 2.3 million contracts ranks behind only Nvidia in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That may help traders take positions with calls and puts.

Tesla bounced between early April and late May, but now it may be stalling. The first pattern on today’s chart is the weekly low of $331.39 from May 22. TSLA fell below that level two weeks ago and was rejected at the same price area last week. Has old support become new resistance? Second, the stock has fallen under its 8- and 21-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). The 8-day EMA is also at risk of slipping below the 21-day EMA. Such patterns may reflect short-term bearishness. Falling MACD paints a similar picture. Third, the EV stock peaked at $488.54 in December -- above its previous high of $414.50 from November 2021. But it failed to hold, which could be viewed as a false breakout. Those signals could focus traders’ attention on the April low of $214.15, which is still more than $100 below TSLA’s close on Tuesday. Finally, TSLA is an active options underlier. (Its average daily volume of 2.6 million contracts last month ranked third in the entire market, according to TradeStation data.) That could make it easier for traders to take positions with calls and puts. Check out TradingView's The Leap competition sponsored by TradeStation.

Apple has struggled all year, and evidence of a downtrend may be growing in the tech giant. The first pattern on today’s chart is this month’s lower high relative to mid-May. Combined with the May 7 low of $193.25, some traders may think a descending triangle is taking shape. That’s a potentially bearish formation. Second, TradeStation data shows that AAPL is the only trillion-dollar company now trading below its 200-day simple moving average (SMA). The 200-day SMA has also turned lower. Those points may confirm long-term price action is less bullish. Next, prices remaining below the falling 50-day SMA may signal intermediate-term weakness. Fourth, short-term trends may be weakening: The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is below the 21-day EMA and MACD is falling. Finally, AAPL is one of the most active underliers in the options market. That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

The S&P 500 hit a new all-time high in February. However, by one measure it’s been in a bear market all century. Today’s monthly chart shows SPX as a ratio against gold. Using this comparison, equities have underperformed since Bill Clinton was still President in August 2000. It illustrates how stocks languished in the 1970s, before starting an 18-year run against the “barbarous relic” (to borrow from John Maynard Keynes). Then the great equity bubble broke and investors began their first migration back into gold. They subsequently diversified into emerging markets, triggering a secular bear market in U.S. stocks that ended with the subprime crisis. The S&P 500 continued lower against bullion until 2011, when the People's Bank of China turned hawkish. A year or two later, stocks entered a new bull market by breaking above their previous high from 2007. That uptrend continued until late 2021, when post-pandemic inflation lifted interest rates. Gold interestingly held its ground as the Federal Reserve tightened policy, an early sign of emerging strength. The next interesting moment was early 2024, when stocks and the yellow metal both broke out to new highs. However, the S&P 500 still made a lower high when expressed as a ratio against gold. Given worries about the U.S. fiscal deficit, inflation and de-dollarization, some investors may wonder whether the trend that began 25 years ago may remain in effect.

The S&P 500 has enjoyed a powerful rally in the last month, and now some traders may anticipate a sideways move. The first pattern on today’s chart is 5,971, the final weekly close of 2024. The index chopped on either side of that level a few times in January and early February. It stalled there in late February and early March as tariffs were confirmed on Mexico and Canada. SPX peaked just three points below that price on Monday before halting. Is the old resistance still in effect? Second, SPX made a lower low and a higher high that session. Tuesday was just the opposite. That combination of an outside candle, followed by an inside candle, may suggest a change of direction is coming. Third, Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) has turned down after nearing an overbought condition. If a pullback occurs, traders may eye roughly 5,773 as support. That was the low in January and a high in late March. Next, prices are historically far above the 50-day simple moving average (SMA). However, the SMA is turning upward. That could suggest the intermediate-term trend has grown more positive, which may keep pullbacks shallow. Finally, few important events appear to be scheduled before next Wednesday. (Minutes from the last Federal Reserve meeting and Nvidia earnings are both due then.) That lack of catalysts may also create drift – especially with a long holiday weekend approaching.

The broader market has rebounded sharply in the last month, but Apple might be getting left behind. The first pattern on today’s chart is the April 15 peak of $212.94. The smartphone giant probed that level in early May and again last week without breaking it. (The more recent high was also slightly lower.) That may suggest resistance is in place. Second, the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 are back to levels from late February and early March. AAPL’s smaller bounce compared with the broader market may reflect weaker relative strength. Third, the stock is below its 200-day simple day moving average (SMA). That also contrasts with the bigger indexes, which are above their respective 200-day SMAs. Fourth, the 50-day SMA had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA in early April and has remained there since. Next, stochastics are dipping from an overbought condition. Finally, AAPL is one of the most active underliers in the options market. (Its average volume of 1.1 million contracts ranks third in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

Tesla has been rangebound for the last two months, and some traders may think it’s running out of road. The first pattern on today’s chart is the March high of $291.85. The EV maker peaked around the same level in late April and remains stuck there again in early May. That may suggest resistance is in place. Will traders look for a return to the recent lows under $220? Next, the stochastic oscillator is turning down from overbought territory. Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in mid-April. That may suggest its longer-term trend is getting more bearish. Finally, TSLA is one of the most active underliers in the options market. (Its 2.7 million average contracts per day ranks No. 2 in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That may help traders take positions with calls and puts. TradeStation has, for decades, advanced the trading industry, providing access to stocks, options and futures.

Nvidia has been rebounding along with the broader market, and some traders may think it’s getting ready to accelerate. The first pattern on today’s chart is the April 9 high of $115.10. The chip giant has challenged that level in the last two sessions. A close above that resistance may be viewed as confirmation of a breakout. Second is the series of lower highs since mid-February. NVDA closed above that falling trendline yesterday and remains above it today. Third, MACD has turned higher. Finally, NVDA is a highly active underlier in the options market. (It averages 3.9 million contracts per day ranks first in the S&P 500, according to TradeStation data.) That could help traders take positions with calls and puts.

Gold has been in an uptrend this year, and some dip buyers may see an opportunity in its latest pullback.The first pattern on today’s chart is the series of higher highs and higher lows since January. XAUUSD has dipped to the bottom of that rising channel. Will it become another higher low?Second, the pullback stabilized near the February high around 2956. That could suggest old resistance has become new support.Third, stochastics dipped to an oversold condition.Finally, the 50-day simple moving average is rising from below.
