Divergence and Contrasts
Market Indices: Divergence and Contrasts
The U.S. equity market showcased noticeable divergence in its recent performance. The Dow Jones Industrial Average continued its upward trajectory, hitting new highs and leading the pack. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 settled into a middle ground, and the Nasdaq, once the leader, showed signs of lagging.
Within the Nasdaq, the AI sector revealed stark contrasts. Nvidia, a bellwether for AI-driven growth, fell sharply by 4%, signaling potential cooling in chip stocks. Conversely, the AI application space exhibited resilience. The North American "Big Four" cloud companies all posted gains, with Amazon rising over 2% and Meta and Alphabet (Google) each advancing more than 1%.
Stock Analysis
Alibaba (BABA): Reversal in Progress, Optimistic Target
Alibaba surged 2.95%, closing at $85.58. Yesterday's analysis highlighted the critical support at $80 and hinted at early signs of a reversal. Today’s performance aligned with this outlook, strengthening the probability of a sustained rebound. The short-term target is set at $90–95, making this an attractive opportunity for tactical entry.
Pinduoduo (PDD): Stabilization with Upside Potential
Pinduoduo gained 0.62%, ending at $100.69. Consistent with previous forecasts, the stock held its ground above $100, signaling stability. Should the company demonstrate improvements in its e-commerce initiatives, the stock could aim for $105–110. However, a breach of $100 would necessitate monitoring the $95 support zone.
Baidu (BIDU): Strength from Strategic Partnerships
Baidu advanced 2.91% to close at $82.67, buoyed by positive sentiment around its expanded partnership with an automotive manufacturer to accelerate autonomous driving commercialization. This optimism is reflected in today’s gains, supporting a short-term target of $85. Further momentum could push the stock to $90 if trading volumes continue to rise.

JD.com (JD): Near-Term Caution Amid Adjustments
JD.com slipped 0.49% to $34.51. While it avoided breaching the critical $32 level today, investor sentiment remains cautious. The immediate goal is to reclaim $36, but a downside risk remains between $30–32 should further weaknesses emerge.
Nvidia (NVDA): Pullback with Room to Recover
Nvidia fell 4.18%, closing at $136.02. Yesterday’s note flagged resistance at $145, which held firm as the stock faced substantial selling pressure. The immediate focus now shifts to $132 as a potential support level. A resurgence in market confidence could set the stage for a recovery to $140 or higher.
Tesla (TSLA): Support Holds, Eyeing Recovery
Tesla dropped 3.96%, finishing at $338.59. The key $325 support identified yesterday remains intact, providing a foundation for potential recovery. The short-term target of $350–355 remains achievable, though a breach below $325 would warrant a reevaluation of its mid-term trajectory.
Closing Thoughts
U.S. market dynamics continue to exhibit variability, with sectoral and intra-index divergences shaping the narrative. For investors, navigating this environment requires careful attention to both technical indicators and underlying business fundamentals. Stocks like Alibaba and Baidu show promising near-term setups, while Nvidia and Tesla highlight areas to watch for potential recovery opportunities. As always, staying attuned to broader macroeconomic developments will remain critical.
