Fed Chairman Powell testifies

Fed Chair Powell will testify at 9:30 a.m. ET, right at the opening bell, although the Fed may release its prepared remarks.

More and more Wall Street firms over the past couple of days are now predicting that the US or the world will fall into a recession, or put the odds at around 50-50.

Market Rise Analysis

Major indices saw a strong recovery on Tuesday, although volume was much lower than it was on Friday.

After dropping last week to their lowest levels since late 2020, the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Indices were arguably about to rebound. All major indicators are still below their 10-day moving averages. The 50-day streak is a much higher hurdle, with the 200-day average and all-time highs in the distance.

Indexes’ best gains in history have been in bear markets or retracements, so Tuesday’s action in and of itself was not meaningful.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite were on the second day of trying to rally the stock market, while the Dow Jones was only on the first day.

If the rally continues, investors can look for Follow-up day Later this week to confirm the new uptrend. But this bear market has seen many confirmed rallies in the market that fade immediately or in a few weeks.

Not many stocks are in a position with the market selling so hard in 2022.

Energy stocks rebounded again after heavy losses last week. Some names like Exxon Mobil and LNG stocks sound interesting.

China EV names have been leading the way in recent weeks, but Li Auto may be using a long hiatus.

Ultimately, the stock market may struggle with the Federal Reserve aggressively raising interest rates and with the risk of a recession rising. That likely won’t change until inflation shows meaningful dips, which will likely take several months at best.

Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy

What are you doing now

An attempt to bullish the market is trying to move forward, but it has not provided evidence that it has staying power. Even if there is a follow-up day soon, investors should be wary about re-entering the market, gradually adding exposure and speeding back up.

If this bullish attempt turns into an ongoing uptrend that lasts for weeks, months or years, there are plenty of opportunities to invest heavily.

For now, build your own watchlists of stocks with strong relative strength, especially those that hold or retrace key moving averages.
