In this edition of StockCharts TV's The Final Bar, Dave breaks down an unusual day for stocks. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed higher, but the top sectors were defensive - real estate and utilities! He shares key levels to watch for NVDA, AAPL, TSLA, and more, plus talks low volatility (with a VIX below 15) and falling interest rates.

This video originally premiered on May 9, 2024. Watch on our dedicated Final Bar page on StockCharts TV!
