Dow Jones futures rose modestly Monday morning, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures. It comes after stocks surged to record highs following Donald Trump’s presidential victory. Bitcoin topped $82,000 amid a crypto run.
The Dow Jones and S&P 500 had their best weeks in a year while hundreds of leading stocks gapped out to new highs betting on a tailwind under a second Trump administration. Tesla (TSLA) skyrocketed back above a $1 trillion market cap, with CEO Elon Musk was a huge backer of the Trump election effort. Palantir Technologies (PLTR) had an even better week, with earnings leading the way.
There were many big earnings winners last week, though also notable losers.
Before the open, Monday.com (MNDY) reported better-than-expected Q3 profit and sales, but only guided Q4 revenue in line with consensus. Monday.com stock, which was extended, plunged well more than 10% early Monday.
Meta Platforms (META), Google-parent Alphabet (GOOGL), CrowdStrike (CRWD), Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) and brand-new Dow Jones component Nvidia (NVDA). Meta and Google stock are just below buy points. CrowdStrike stock, Vertex and Nvidia are actionable now.

The data underscored consumer and weakness after Friday’s stimulus plan disappointed.

Time The Market With IBD’s ETF Market Strategy
Meta stock rose 3.9% to 589.34 last week, rebounding from the 10-week line and retaking the 21-day. The Facebook and Instagram parent now has a new flat base, base-on-base pattern with a 602.95 buy point.
Google stock gained 4.1% to 178.54 last week, nearing a 182.02 cup-with-handle buy point. A move above Thursday’s high of 181.08 would offer a slightly early entry. The relative strength line is still near the lowest levels since March, reflecting Google’s underperformance vs. the S&P 500.
CrowdStrike stock jumped 8.9% to 330.03, retaking the 200-day and clearing a 323.94 cup-with-handle buy point, according to MarketSmith analysis. The RS line still well off June’s peak, though it’s making a comeback. CrowdStrike plunged after triggering a global IT outage on July 19, with fears of hefty liability costs and long-term reputational damage in focus. The cybersecurity giant reports earnings in late November.
Vertex stock surged 9.7% in the week to 516.74. Shares peeked past early entries on Thursday then ran past the 510.63 flat-base buy point on Friday. Vertex earnings and sales beat on Nov. 4, but the focus is on the pipeline. In January, the FDA will consider approving Vertex’s next-generation cystic fibrosis drug and its pain treatment.
Nvidia stock, which joined the Dow Jones on Nov. 8, rallied 8.7% in the week to 147.15, back above a 140.76 consolidation buy point. The buy zone runs to 147.80. Investors also could treat the Oct. 22 high of 144.42 as a high-handle entry. Nvidia earnings are due Nov. 20.

It’s not clear how much Trump could or will do regarding EVs, or even if those moves would be a net benefit to Tesla. But what is clear is that TSLA stock reflects an investor belief that Trump will be a boon to Tesla.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, a longtime Tesla bull, raised his TSLA price to 400 on Monday. Tesla stock jumped yet again
