Good MorningInvestors got a reprieve from days of selling on Wednesday when the major indices reversed their fall. The indices all gained at least 2.5% in intraday trading but did not close at the highs of the session. The tech sector led the advance with noteworthy gains in the FAANG names and Tesla. Tesla gained more than 10% on an intraday basis but is still in the bear-market territory after falling more than 30% from its peak.
The question for investors now is if this is the end of the sell-off or is it just a dead-cat bounce. The gains look good from the technical perspective, market support was confirmed at key levels, but even bear markets have up days. If the market can hold Wednesday’s levels into the close of the week the rally may have legs. If not the broad-market S&P 500 could easily be in for another 10% decline.
