Nvidia Price Levels To Watch As Stock Retreats From Record
~2.5 mins read

Nvidia (NVDA) shares will likely remain on investors’ radar screens after falling sharply Tuesday, just a day after setting a record closing high.

The decline Tuesday came as reported that the Biden Administration is mulling AI chip export curbs to some Middle Eastern countries. The news tempered optimism about surging demand for Nvidia's chips from tech giants hyperscaling their AI infrastructure amid a backdrop of tight supply.

Nvidia shares fell 4.7% Tuesday to close at $131.60.

Below, we break down the technicals on Nvidia’s chart and identify important price levels that investors will likely be watching.

Nvidia shares consolidated within a symmetrical triangle between June and September before breaking out above the pattern earlier this month.

Although the breakout signals a continuation of the stock’s longer-term uptrend, it’s worth pointing out that the move occurred on below-average volume, indicating a lack of conviction behind the move.

Conversely, Tuesday’s selling registered the highest daily share turnover in nearly a month, raising the possibility of a potential bull trap, a trading event that lures investors into buying a breakout before the price makes a sudden reversal.

Let’s take a look at three important support levels on the AI chipmaker’s chart and also use technical analysis to forecast a potential bullish price target above the stock’s all-time high (ATH).

The first sits around $125, where the shares find a confluence of support from the symmetrical triangle’s top trendline and a horizontal line connecting a range of comparable trading levels on the chart between early June and late September.

A decisive breakdown below this level would confirm a bull trap, which could trigger a move down to the $115 level, where the stock may encounter buying interest near the triangle’s lower trendline and multiple minor peaks and troughs stretching back to late May.

Further selling could see the shares revisit major support around $97, a location on the chart currently just below the upward sloping 200-day moving average (MA) where investors could look for buying opportunities near the twin March peaks and prices situated just above the August low.

Investors can forecast a bullish price target above the stock’s ATH by using a measured move, also referred to by chartists as the measuring principle.

This works by calculating the distance between the symmetrical triangle’s trendlines near the start of the pattern and adding that amount to the breakout point.

In other words, we add $50 to $127, which projects a price target of $177. The forecast, around 34% above Tuesday’s close, indicates a potential area on the chart where investors may be happy to lock in profits.

S&P 500 Gains And Losses Today: Export Cap, ASML Sales Worries Weigh On Chip Stocks
~1.6 mins read

Major U.S. equities indexes moved lower Tuesday as semiconductor stocks tumbled. Both the S&P 500 and the Dow fell roughly 0.8% on Tuesday, retreating from record closes posted in the previous session. The Nasdaq dropped 1%.

Semiconductor stocks came under pressure after semiconductor equipment maker ASML (ASML) accidentally released its earnings report a day earlier than expected, revealing lower-than-expected net bookings and a lackluster sales guidance. ASML shares plunged 16.3%.

ASML's results, as well as a report on potential U.S. export restrictions, weighed on companies across the semiconductor industry, with heavy pressure on shares of fellow semiconductor equipment manufacturers. KLA (KLAC) shares dropped 14.7%, the steepest drop of any S&P 500 stock, while shares of Applied Materials (AMAT) and Lam Research (LRCX) were down 10.9% and 10.7%, respectively. Raymond James trimmed its price targets for all three stocks, as well as ASML.

Shares of solar technology firm Enphase Energy (ENPH) sank 9.3% after RBC Capital Markets downgraded the stock to "sector perform." Analysts said tough industry competition could weigh on Enphase's growth rate.

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) shares surged 15.8%, marking the top performance in the S&P 500, after the pharmacy giant reported better-than-expected sales and profits for its fiscal fourth quarter. The drugstore and health care chain also announced a turnaround plan that includes closing around 1,200 stores over the next three years.

Crude oil prices moved lower following some signs of easing geopolitical tensions and as the International Energy Agency cut its projection for oil demand growth. The prospect of lower fuel costs helped boost shares of cruise operators. Carnival (CCL) shares sailed 6.6% higher, while shares of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) were up 4.1%.

Charles Schwab (SCHW) shares jumped 6.1% after the brokerage firm posted its results for the third quarter, exceeding revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts. Year-over-year increases in total client assets and the number of active brokerage accounts helped drive the strong performance.

How To Help Your Preschooler Sleep Alone
~2.4 mins read

A wide-awake child leaning over his sleeping mother to wake her by pulling up one eyelid

"Sleep is still most perfect… when it is shared with a beloved," wrote D.H. Lawrence, and most young children would agree. But sometimes those beloved — that is, parents — would rather have some privacy and not be woken by a kicking child all night.

So what can you do?

Sleep-alone campaign step one: Understanding

Before you do anything, be sure you understand why your child wants to sleep with you. It's most likely simply because they love you and feel most secure snuggled next to you, but before you work to change the habit, be sure that your child is ready for — and can handle — the change. If your child has been more clingy or irritable than usual, or is having difficult behaviors in any way, touch base with your doctor.

Sleep-alone campaign step two: Changing habits

Changing where your child sleeps is changing a habit. When it comes to changing habits, it helps to be practical and — this is really important — consistent. Here are some tips:

  • Make an appealing sleep space for your child. Not that anything can really take the place of you, but it is certainly easier to get them to stay in their own room or space if they like it there. Work with them to set up and decorate in a way they like.
  • As you create the space, keep in mind what keeps your child awake. If it's light, use room-darkening curtains. If it's darkness, think night lights and flashlights. If it's noise, think about getting a white-noise machine. Set your child up for success. Please: no TVs or devices in the bedroom. They get in the way of healthy sleep.
  • Have a consistent bedtime. Try not to let your child stay up late — or sleep late — on weekends. This way your child is more likely to be tired when you want them to be tired.
  • Have a consistent, calming, and nurturing bedtime routine. Try to lower the energy level, perhaps with a bath and then some snuggling and reading stories. You want to help them wind down, and also be sure they end the day feeling loved.
  • If your child has a hard time going to bed alone, it's okay to sit in the room and ease yourself out bit by bit after lights are out (you can literally move closer and closer to the door). Try to gradually shorten the time you are in the room.
  • If your child gets out of bed, bring them back to their bed. This is the hard part: your child won't like it, and it can be exhausting for you if they keep creeping out of their bed and into yours. But if you give in and let them stay in your room, they will stay in your room. Every night.
  • Use incentives. Make sure your child gets major kudos for any progress at all — and maybe earns something extra for staying in their own bed all night. Try to steer away from things, if possible, and think more about quality time (an extra story, a fun outing).
  • If nothing is working, or your child is really upset, talk to your doctor. There may be more going on, and the two of you can work together to figure things out and help your child. Both of you deserve a restful night's sleep.

    Consumers' Worries About Debt Delinquency Are On The Rise
    ~1.6 mins read

    The number of people worried they will miss a debt payment in September rose to its highest levels in more than four years, though economists don’t expect consumers to slow their spending. 

    A monthly consumer survey from the New York Federal Reserve showed that more than 14% of people believed they could miss a debt payment within the next three months, the most to deliver that answer since April 2020.

    The starkest increases in debt worries came from respondents between ages 40 and 60 and those earning more than $100,000 a year, the survey showed.

    The data comes as some economists and lenders have raised worries over consumers’ debt levels. In the New York Fed’s most recent quarterly report on household debt, more than 10% of credit card accounts were delinquent by more than 90 days, the highest levels since 2012. The same report also showed almost 5% of borrowers were behind on their auto loans.

    Lenders have been noticing consumers’ struggles, with Ally Financial  (ALLY) recently warning that its auto loan business was struggling as people were having trouble paying bills. Borrowing costs have been an issue for consumers, as the Federal Reserve held interest rates at decades-high levels for more than a year before lowering rates in September. 

    Despite pressure from elevated inflation and interest rates, consumers have continued to spend, with retail sales continuing to perform better than economist expectations. That trend is expected to continue through the holiday season, with the National Retail Federation projecting an increase of between 2.5% and 3.5% in holiday sales this year.

    “Concerns about the amount of credit are valid, but really not considered at a critical level at this time,” said NRF Chief Economist Jack Kleinhenz. “Yes, there has been a share of credit card debt transitioning into delinquency, but still, they remain relatively small.”
