Good Morning Traders! In today’s Market Clubhouse Morning Memo, we will discuss SPY, QQQ, AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, GOOGL, META, and TSLA.
Our proprietary formula, exclusive to Market Clubhouse, dictates these price levels. This dynamic equation takes into account price, volume, and options flow. These levels are updated every day and shared with all Clubhouse Members, prior to the opening of the market.
We recommend closely monitoring these stocks, and be prepared to leverage potential breakouts or reversals. As always, stay alert and ready to adjust your tactics based on the market’s pulse to optimize your trading gains. Now, let’s dive into the stock analysis:
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust ( SPY)
SPY is currently fluctuating around our key level of 605.41. For the bulls, we want to see an initial move higher to 606.34. If buyers maintain control above 606.34, we expect an advance toward 607.55. Holding 607.55 as support during regular trading hours could lead to a continuation higher to 608.35. Our upper resistance target for SPY today sits at 609.33.
If 605.41 fails to hold as support, sellers will likely drive price action down to 604.45. Should selling pressure persist, we anticipate a deeper pullback toward 603.38. If that level gives way under sustained bearish momentum, we have a strong demand zone at 602.37. A particularly aggressive sell-off today could send SPY to our low bearish target of 601.22.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ
QQQ is currently hovering around our critical level of 523.91. To the upside, bulls need to sustain strength above this level. If they succeed, we anticipate a move toward 525.19. A breakout past 525.19 could ignite further buying pressure, propelling price action to 527.03. If momentum remains intact, we look for a test of 528.44. The ultimate bullish objective for today stands at 530.70.
However, if 523.91 proves unsustainable as support, bears will attempt to drag the price down to 522.57. Continued weakness could bring 521.15 into play. If sellers dominate, we expect a further slide to 519.87. Failure to hold this level as support would open the door for a drop to our low bearish target of 517.97.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Apple is currently stabilizing near our level of 237.49. Bulls need to establish this zone as solid support to initiate an upward drive toward 238.63. If buying strength persists, we anticipate an extension to 239.43. A strong bullish session could see Apple advance further toward 240.23, which marks our high target for the day.
Should 237.49 fail as support, we look for sellers to push the price down to 236.69. A break below this level exposes Apple to 235.74. If downward momentum accelerates, we foresee further weakness leading to a test of 234.97. If 234.97 fails, the bears may push Apple toward our low bearish target of 234.20.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)
Microsoft is currently navigating around 446.33. Bulls need to sustain strength above this level for an upward push toward 448.18. Holding this zone as support could set the stage for a rally to 450.26. If momentum continues favoring buyers, we expect a potential move toward our upper resistance target of 453.02.
If 446.33 is lost during regular trading hours, sellers will likely pressure the price down to 444.95. Continued selling activity could bring a deeper test of 442.95. If bearish momentum remains dominant, the next area of interest is 441.34. A strong sell-side session could drive Microsoft down to our low target of 438.72.
NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA)
NVIDIA is currently moving around 128.10. Bulls need to reclaim 129.53 and establish it as support to facilitate a move higher. If strength continues, the next area of interest is 131.42. A sustained rally could see NVIDIA challenge 132.19. Our high bullish target for today is positioned at 133.31.
If 128.10 fails to hold, sellers may take control and test 126.84. Should downward momentum persist, we expect a move to 125.21. Further bearish action could see NVIDIA decline to 123.41. If this level is breached under selling pressure, the low bearish target for today sits at 121.97.
Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)
Alphabet is currently testing our level of 195.41. Bulls need to maintain strength above 196.25 to sustain upward momentum. If buyers gain traction, we look for a move toward 196.97. A continuation of strength could push Alphabet toward our upper bullish target at 197.79.
If 195.41 breaks down, sellers will likely attempt to drive price action lower to 194.34. A breach below this level puts 193.14 into play. If selling remains aggressive, we anticipate further downside to our low bearish target of 192.19.
Meta Platforms Inc (META)
Meta is currently trading near our level of 679.79. Bulls need to establish this area as support to propel price action toward 683.97. If buyers maintain strength, we anticipate further movement up to 689.09. Continued bullish momentum could see Meta test our high target of 692.10.
If 679.79 is lost as support, we look for sellers to pressure Meta down to 676.46. If this level is breached, a drop to 671.80 is probable. Should bears maintain control, we expect a further move lower to our low bearish target of 667.99.
Tesla Inc. TSLA
Tesla is currently consolidating near 399.03. Bulls need to step in and push the price to 403.43. A strong buying presence could lift Tesla to 407.97. If the broader market remains bullish, we anticipate a test of 413.10. Our high target for Tesla today sits at 416.62.
If 399.03 cannot hold as support, a move down to 390.23 is likely. Should selling pressure intensify, the next key level to watch is 384.07. If this level fails, a deeper decline to our low bearish target of 378.79 could materialize.
Final Word: Today's session brings a series of impactful economic events that could drive market volatility. At 8:30 AM ET, we receive the Advance Goods Trade Balance and Preliminary Wholesale Inventories for December, providing insights into trade activity and inventory accumulation. At 9:45 AM ET, the Bank of Canada announces its interest rate decision, which could have cross-market effects, especially on currency pairs. The BoC press conference at 10:30 AM ET may offer additional insights into future monetary policy expectations.
The primary event of the day, however, occurs at 2:00 PM ET with the FOMC Interest Rate Decision. While the Fed is expected to maintain its stance, traders will be keen to dissect any signals of potential shifts in policy. At 2:30 PM ET, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's press conference will be the focal point, with markets likely reacting sharply to his guidance on inflation, employment, and future rate path considerations.
Given today's dense schedule of economic data and central bank events, expect heightened market turbulence. Traders should be prepared for rapid price swings and manage their risk accordingly. Staying nimble and focused will be essential in navigating today's session. Trade smart and good luck!
