But the market rally effort did not go on for even a single day. Aside from the Nasdaq, Wednesday marked a day of rally attempts for the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. Stocks are clearly at the mercy of Treasury yields.

TSLA joined the stock IBD Leaderboard and SwingTrader on Wednesday. Arista Networks (Aneta) and meta platforms are already on the leaderboard. SNPS stock is among IBD’s long-term leaders. META Stack, Arista Networks, Tesla and Synapsis are among them IBD 50. Arista Networks was Wednesday’s IBD Stock of the Day.

Five Best Chinese Stocks to Watch Now


Tesla stock

Tesla stock issued an aggressive buy signal on Wednesday. Shares rose 5.9% to 261.16, moving decisively higher above the 50-day line. A move above Wednesday’s high would provide another early entry from breaking the handle’s bottom. TSLA stock has an official 278.98 buy point from a cup-with-handle basis.

Bulls have shrugged off bad news, including a big decline in Q3 deliveries and hopes for the new, lower-cost base Model Y, an updated Model 3, the upcoming Cybertruck and speculative bets on self-driving cars, robots and more.

Meta share

Meta stock rose 1.5% to 305.58, above the 50-day line that has been trading tight for weeks. A consolidation buy point is 326.20, although investors can use 310.94 or 312.87 as initial entries. A 310.94 entry will become an official handle buy point on the daily chart after Thursday, but investors still prefer 312.87.

The corresponding strength line, the blue line on the charts provided, is at a record high. It reflects the performance of meta stocks against the S&P 500. The RS line hit a new high before the stock emerged and was particularly bullish.

Google Stock

Google shares rose 2.1% to 135.24, rebounding from the 50-day line and retaking the 133.74 shelf entry. According to MarketSmith analysis, the RS line for GOOGL stock is the highest since early 2022.

Arista stock

ANET shares were up 0.6% at 186.03, rising just above the 50-day from the 21-day line. Arista stock should have a flat base after this week with a 198.70 buy point. Investors can use Monday’s high of 189.90 as an initial entry for the networking company. RS line for ANET stock is very high.

What to do now

A mixed market session, with even the Nasdaq down, intraday, nothing to get excited about. The stock market is at the mercy of the 10-year Treasury yield, which is still on a vertical climb.

Shares of Tesla and Google offer buying opportunities on Wednesday. If the market rally revives from here, those entries have a good chance of working. But if the market falls, these names may pull back, even if they outperform the S&P 500.

Remember, in a market correction, relative winners can still be absolute losers.

However, investors should look for those relative winners. MetaStack, Arista Networks and Synapsis will be leading the next boom.
