Stock Market Forecast: Weak Jobs Report Triggers Premarket Tech Rally

The major stocks in this report all look likely to jump at the open, as Wall Street celebrates job losses in a “bad news is good news” move.

Tesla Technical Analysis

Tesla looks as if it is going to gap higher at the open after a disappointing jobs number has rates dropping and people celebrating. The Tesla market has been pretty brutal as of late, but recently we’ve seen a little bit of a bounce. We’ll see if that continues.

The gap starts at about $340 from the last earnings call. That could be a potential target; after all, gaps do tend to get filled over the longer term. Beyond that, we could see the market go looking to the 50-day EMA if momentum can keep up. The recent action though, has been very noisy and rocky, so this is a market that could be a wild ride.

Nvidia Technical Analysis

NVIDIA trades around 218.99, holding above the 200.00 level and both its 50-day and 200-day EMAs. Source: TradingView.

Nvidia looks like it’s going to gap higher as well, continuing the overall upward momentum that it’s seen recently. The market has shot straight up in the air, and just a couple of days ago, Elon Musk announced that SpaceX was going to use Nvidia chips exclusively. That seemed to have given the stock a little bit of a boost.

It had been rallying beforehand; one would assume that somebody out there knew. But the bounce from the 200-day EMA was a perfect technical setup. It has produced a textbook W pattern.

Amazon Technical Analysis

Amazon trades around 272.26, pulling back from recent highs but holding above both its 50-day and 200-day EMAs. Source: TradingView.

Amazon looks like it’s going to celebrate fewer jobs as well with a gap higher, perhaps even trying to take out the inverted hammer that had formed during the previous session. We’ll just have to wait and see. It’s been on a tear as of late, so this is just a continuation of the overall trend that we had seen over the last week or so.
