Investors can buy AAPL shares here. But after going up seven consecutive sessions, the iPhone giant can use a respite. Ideally, Apple’s stock will pause here, at least for a few days, and then rally. Of course, you don’t have to take a break anytime soon.

JBHT Stock
JB Hunt stock fell 1.7% to 210.18, its fifth straight drop but still holding above 208.97. flat base Point purchase. JB Hunt volume surged 9.6% on March 16 at a massive volume as the trucking company forged an alliance with BNSF Railroad, which is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway (BRKB).

COST STOCK
Costco stock fell 1% to 554.02, still stable above 545.39 buying points from a cup with handle stationed. COST’s RS line is holding near record levels.
Stock BLDR
Builders FirstSource stock fell 3.7% to 73.49, still above the 50-day line. BLDR stock has a base cup buy of 86.58 points, but can act on a handle, resulting in lower entry.
One of Builders FirstSource’s concerns is that many housing-related plays, including home builders and retailers, are being sold out as interest rates rise and new home sales decline.
CVS . stock
CVS stock fell 1% to 106.20. This is still close to 111.35 flat base buy points. It’s also about the early entry from around the 50-day line and the short-term high on March 7. Monday’s high of 109.69 could also act as another early entry.
Market Rise Analysis
The stock market rally suffered heavy losses on Wednesday, even as Apple masked weakness in major corporate indexes. The S&P 500 has pulled back from the 200-day line. The Dow Jones index crossed the 50-day line.
The Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 remain above the 50-day lines.
While down days are not fun, a short pause in the market rally can be beneficial. That would allow stocks like Apple and Tesla to take a break, and perhaps form handles. Meanwhile, the stocks that continued to rise will see the RS lines rise significantly.
Energy stocks topped Wednesday, reflecting the strength of crude oil prices. Steel, mining and fertilizer also performed well.
And lost software and housing stocks. Medical stocks, from biotech companies to health insurance companies, had a tough session.
Time to Market with IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
What are you doing now
Wednesday’s decline was not a cause for concern given the recent strong gains from the market rally. But that’s why investors should increase exposure gradually, to avoid jumping right at the top, short-term or otherwise. This is also the reason why you should never want to buy an extended stock.
If the stock market rally is struggling significantly, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 decisively breaking below the 50-day moving averages, investors will likely cut back or exit some recent positions.
This is a time to be flexible. Don’t get stuck in a bullish or bearish mindset. Listen to the market, and act accordingly.
