Tesla (TSLA) gained nearly 1% Tuesday, looking to recover a small part of Monday’s nearly 4% skid. The stock is just above its latest buy point. Chip giants Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia (NVDA) ascended 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively.
Among the top stocks to buy and watch, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) and Deckers Outdoor (DECK) held up relatively well during Monday’s stock market weakness.

Dow Jones Today: Fed Meeting To Start
After the stock market open Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied 0.9%, while S&P 500 gained 0.8%. The Nasdaq rose 0.9% in morning trade.
The Federal Reserve’s two-day meeting will begin Tuesday. Investors will look for insight into the Fed’s plans regarding its bond purchases and interest rates.
Monday’s sell-off was spurred by fears over property developer China Evergrande Group. Investors increasingly believe that Beijing will let Evergrande fail and inflict losses on its shareholders and bondholders, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company’s debt burden is the biggest for any publicly traded real estate management or development company in the world.
Among exchange traded funds, Innovator IBD 50 (FFTY) rose 1% Tuesday. Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) rallied 0.3%. And the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) moved up 0.4%.
Stock Market Breaks Key Support
The Nasdaq broke down sharply below its 50-day line Monday, adding more selling pressure to the major stock indexes. The S&P 500 broke support at that level Friday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit its lowest level since June 21.
Monday’s The Big Picture commented, “Spurred by a 3% thrashing of stocks in the Hang Seng benchmark in Hong Kong, U.S. stocks took the cue that the potential collapse of China’s real estate giant Evergrande served as a reason to take profits. The S&P 500 gapped lower at the open. After a brief spell of buying, the index resumed its sell-off. It sank as much as 2.9%. Yet the late-hour drive of buyers cut the day’s loss to 1.7%.”
Stock Market ETF Strategy And How To Invest
Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch: Nike
Dow Jones leader Nike is tracing a flat base with a 174.48 buy point, according to IBD MarketSmith chart analysis. But shares are below their key 50-day moving average line and on a six-day losing streak following Monday’s 1.4% loss. Shares were up 0.6% Tuesday.
Nike earnings are due Thursday.
Through Sept. 10, Nike was the No. 8 performer on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, advancing more than 15%. Goldman Sachs (GS) was the top Dow Jones stock, with a year-to-date gain of 52% through Sept. 15.
Stocks On The Move: AMD, Nvidia
Chip giants Advanced Micro Devices and Nvidia looked to rebound from Monday’s sharp losses.
AMD stock moved up 0.8% Tuesday, recovering a small part of Monday’s 2.2% decline. Shares are forming a consolidation with a 122.59 buy point, according to IBD MarketSmith chart analysis. AMD stock is now below its 50-day line, a sign of weakness for the stock’s base-building process.
Nvidia rallied almost 1% Tuesday. The stock triggered the round-trip sell signal from a 207.43 buy point in a cup with handle during Monday’s weakness. Investors should sell when a stock gives up the entirety of a double-digit gain to avoid taking a loss.
Stocks To Buy And Watch: Chipotle, Deckers
Friday’s IBD Stock Of The Day, Chipotle Mexican Grill, is rebounding from its key 50-day moving average, though it is a two-day losing streak. Shares were up 0.9% Tuesday. The burrito chain has been trading tightly following a post-earnings jump. Look for continued support around its 10-week line, which would be bullish for the stock’s prospects during the current market weakness. Positively, the stock’s RS line is at new highs.
According to IBD Stock Checkup, CMG stock boasts a perfect 99 IBD Composite Rating. The IBD Composite Rating identifies stocks with a blend of strong fundamental and technical characteristics.
IBD Leaderboard stock Deckers Outdoor is trying to break out past a 444.58 entry in a flat base, according to IBD MarketSmith, but is about 4% below the entry following two straight days of losses. Shares were up 0.1% Tuesday. Per Leaderboard commentary, the top retail stock is below a mini-trendline entry near 433 that provided an early buy point. Its relative strength line is also near new highs.

On Jan. 25, Tesla stock hit a record-high 900.40, after climbing as much as 93% from a 466 buy point in a cup-with-handle.
Dow Jones Leaders: Apple, Microsoft

Software giant Microsoft rose 0.8% Tuesday, on pace to recover a small part of a sharp two-day slide. Shares Monday briefly traded below their 50-day line for the first time since a June 21 breakout above a 263.29 buy point before closing just above it.
