Amazon rebounded on the back of large stock splits and buybacks, while the February consumer price inflation report looms large.

The stock market rally attempt made significant price gains on Wednesday, but none of the major indicators had a follow-up day. Crude oil prices fell, while many other commodities fell after massive gains in recent days and weeks.

In many ways, Wednesday’s move was perfect. a Follow-up day Confirmation of the new market rally could have come with a slew of caveats. Major indicators moving up to or above key resistance levels before the follow-up day may be more important.

Apple stock Arista Networks (Network), National anthem (ANTME), a parent of Google the alphabet (Google), And the Eli Lilly (LLY) are five stocks showing some positive signs, but they haven’t entered yet buy areas. Anthem and LLY stock were above the 50 day moving averages, but an Apple (AAPL), and Google and ANET stocks are not.

Tesla (TSLA), meanwhile, continues to hold out better than most electric vehicle rivals and has strong growth trajectories, although Wednesday’s recovery was relatively modest. Shares rose 4.2% to 858.97. Tesla stock remains a small part of the 21-day exponential moving average, with other key resistance levels closed.

late on wednesday, Amazon.com (AMZN) reported a 20-for-1 stock split. The e-commerce and cloud computing giant will also buy back $10 billion in Amazon stock. AMZN stock is up 5% early Thursday. Shares rose 2.4% to 2,785.58 on Wednesday. During Tuesday, Amazon stock hit its lowest level since July 2020.

Consumer Inflation Report

The February CPI is due before the market opens on Thursday.

Economists expect consumer prices to rise 0.7% from January and 7.9% from a year earlier, surpassing a 39-year high in January of 7.5%. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, is expected to rise 0.5% compared to January. Core inflation should accelerate to 6.4% from 6%.

With the price of crude oil and many commodities soaring amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Western sanctions – despite Wednesday’s heavy selling – inflation may continue to rise in the near term.

Consumer inflation data will come ahead of the Federal Reserve’s meeting next week, when policy makers are expected to start a major interest rate hike cycle. Soaring inflation could conceivably lead to a half-point move.

In another sign that the market’s attempt to rally wasn’t “ready” to be a confirmed uptrend, there weren’t many actionable stocks on Wednesday.

Aggressive growth stocks in general led Wednesday’s gains, but they are nowhere near buying opportunities. datadog (DDOG), which was created a week ago, is up 12% on Wednesday but is still far from execution.

Meanwhile, the Tesla bulls will likely push themselves to buy into the EV leader with a small portion of the extra strength, but the 50-day streak and February highs will likely offer a safer but still aggressive entry.

Other tech names with lower PE percentages, such as Google stocks and Arista Networks, still need another big day or two before they can deliver early entries.
