Nvidia stock lost a bit on Thursday but still held most of Monday’s big rally. Ultimate AI stock finished pennies below the 50 day line but mainly finding support. But this is not enough to support the broader market.

What are you doing now
The stock market consolidated losses against losses. Investors need to take action, trimming exposure as recent buys turn losses and longer holdings cut gains.
It can be said that the stock market is back on the rebound. But with the Nasdaq significantly below 50 days and Nvidia looming on the horizon, there’s little reason to get excited about one fine day.
Investors may want to use a market bounce as an opportunity to exit positions.
However, when the strong uptrend resumes, many stocks will offer buying opportunities. So you want to be ready. Keep working on the watchlists, focusing on stocks that show relative strength.
Read the big picture every day to stay in sync with market trend, leading stocks and sectors.
