Apple stock popped 2% after finding support at its 10-week line on Friday.

Tesla stock jumped nearly 13% to 419.62, back over key levels as EV stocks charged higher.

With the stock market rally on the edge of turning into a correction, the major indexes rebounded Monday.

The stock market is still in an "uptrend under pressure." One bad day would push the market rally to the brink or beyond.

If the stock market rally finds its footing and has legs, there will be opportunities to jump on board.

If the market rally falters or moves sideways for an extended period, being all or mostly in cash will be the right call.
