Five Dow Jones stocks to watch now
Dow Jones Stocks to Watch: Nike, Salesforce
Since bottoming out on October 3, Nike shares have gained as much as 59% to their recent high of $131.31. According to IBD MarketSmith pattern recognition, the stock is now consolidating within a flat base that provides a 131.41 buy point.
Amidst the recent weakness, the stock is trading below its 50-day moving average, a key benchmark. A decisive retake for base-building prospects would be to accelerate to carve out the right side of the pattern. Relative strength lines are also holding well during a fast-paced stock market correction.
In recent weeks, Dow Jones leader Salesforce showed major upside strength after strong fourth-quarter results. But those gains have all but disappeared amid recent market weakness, and the stock now trades below its $178.94 cup-with-handle entry. Still, the stock’s recent strength is a reason to keep an eye on the software leader in the coming sessions.
Top Stocks to Watch: Meta, Palo Alto, New Relic
