Among the Dow Jones leaders, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) led the industrials, up 0.6% as it aimed to stem a three-day slide. Apple (AAPL) lost 0.4%, and Microsoft (MSFT) traded down 0.7% in today's stock market.

Supermarket leader Kroger (KR) advanced 4% Friday morning after BofA Securities upgraded the stock from neutral to buy. Cybersecurity play CrowdStrike (CRWD) scrambled 2% higher following an analyst price target hike.

Electric-vehicle giant Tesla (TSLA) slipped around 1% early Friday, threatening to give up Thursday's gains in the wake of the company's "Cyber Rodeo" product launch event.

As the stock market's uptrend struggles, Dow Jones financial leader American Express (AXP) — along with Alphabet (GOOGL), Broadcom (AVGO), IBD Leaderboard watchlist stock SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) and Shell (SHEL) — are among Friday's top stocks to buy and watch.

Arista Networks (ANET), Microsoft and Tesla are IBD Leaderboard stocks. Alphabet and Tesla stock were featured in this week's Stocks Near A Buy Zone column.

After Friday's open, the Dow Jones Industrial Averages fell 0.3%, while the S&P 500 moved down 0.5%. The Nasdaq composite sold off 1.3% in morning trade.

Among exchange-traded funds, the Nasdaq 100 tracker Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) fell 0.8%, and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) was down 0.3% after Friday's open.

Stock Market Rally

The stock market snapped a two-day losing streak with modest gains Thursday after reversing higher, as the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite tested its 50-day support level.

The Big Picture column commented, "The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite sold off as much as 1.4% before reversing higher to close up less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq appeared to find much-needed support at its key 50-day moving average, but there hasn't been a definite show of support yet."

Four Dow Jones Stocks To Watch Now


Dow Jones Stocks To Buy And Watch: American Express

Dow Jones financial stock American Express is tracing a cup-with-handle base, showing a 194.45 buy point. Shares declined 0.9% Tuesday, closing just below the 50-day moving average line. AXP shares rose nearly 1% Friday morning.

Keep an eye on the stock's relative strength line. Amid its recent ascent, the RS line is nearing its old highs, but does have some work cut out for it ahead of a potential breakout. The RS line measures a stock's price performance vs. the S&P 500. The RS line should hit a new high on the breakout day or shortly thereafter to confirm the strength of stock's breakout.


Four Top Growth Stocks To Buy And Watch In The Current Stock Market Rally


Stocks To Buy And Watch: Alphabet, Broadcom, SolarEdge, Shell

Tuesday's IBD 50 Stocks To Watch pick, Alphabet, shows a 2,875.97 buy point in a cup with handle, according to IBD MarketSmith chart analysis. GOOGL shares are about 5% away from the entry after Thursday's 2.9% slide. The FANG stock slipped 0.65% Friday morning.

Broadcom inched 0.2% higher Tuesday, as the chip stock remains below an early entry at 614.74. The stock is looking for support at it 50-day lin. Meanwhile, shares have put in another buy point, a handle entry at 645.41. AVGO shares were down almost 1% Friday morning.

Tesla Stock

Tesla stock dropped around 1% early Friday, threatening to erase Thursday's 1.1% advance. Shares of the EV giant are about 12% away from a cup base's 1,208.10 buy point. Meanwhile, a handle could form amid this week's poor showing. That would create a 1,152.97 entry. For now, the  handle is only three days long — five days, or one week, is the minimum length of a handle.

The company's "Cyber Rodeo" saw Tesla deliver roughly a handful of Model Ys at its Texas factory launch Thursday night. Giga Austin Model Ys will be the first to feature Tesla's new structural battery pack and 4680 battery cells.

The stock traded as high as 1,243.49 on Nov. 4. and ended Thursday, about 15% away from that all-time high.

Dow Jones Leaders: Apple, Microsoft

Among Dow Jones stocks, Apple shares moved up 0.2% Thursday, still below a 176.75 buy point in a double-bottom base. Along with that entry, a handle buy point is also in play at 179.71. Look for a decisive move above those levels as a buy signal. AAPL stock fell 0.4% early Friday.

Software leader Microsoft rose 0.6% Thursday, as shares continue to build the right side of a new base formation. Microsoft shares traded down 0.7% Friday morning.
