This Analyst With 85% Accuracy Rate Sees Around 10% Upside In Alphabet - Here Are 5 Stock Picks For 2024 From Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts

Shares of homebuilder Lennar Corporation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) are trading higher Tuesday. A new rally may be about to start.
This is why our team of technical analysts has made it our Stock of the Day.
Most of the time a stock stays within its usual or typical trading range. But sometimes traders who are selling can become emotional and aggressive and push it below this range. When this happens, traders say the stock is oversold.
The bottom part of the chart is the Relative Strength Index (RSI) momentum indicator. When the blue line crosses below the horizontal red line it indicates oversold conditions. As you can see, that's the case now.
Lennar is the most oversold that it has been in almost five years. The last time it was this oversold was during the COVID-19 pandemic crash. As you can see, a major rally followed. The stock more than tripled in six months.
The chart illustrates how price levels that had been peaks or tops can turn into support.

The $71 level was a peak for Lennar in February 2020. In July 2020 this resistance was broken and the level converted into support.
The $134 level was a peak in July 2023. In December 2023 this resistance broke. Now the stock is getting back close to this price and if it does, there is a good chance it converts into support as well.
Resistance converting into support is a common occurrence in the stock market. It happens due to investor and trader psychology.
There are people who sell at the peak and regret doing so if and when the price eventually moves higher. Many of them decide that if they can buy their shares back at the same price they were sold for, they will.
As a result, if the stock eventually drops back to its selling price, they place buy orders. If there is a large number of these orders it will create support at the same price that was resistance.
Of course, it's too soon to know what will happen. But there is a chance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LEN">Lennar</a> is on the verge of a reversal and a large move higher.

Stock Of The Day: Is Home Builder Lennar About To Rally?

Following the COVID-19 pandemic,<a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS"> </a>active <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/ACTLISCOUUS">listings</a> for single-family homes fell conspicuously due to public health concerns and mandated stay-in-place orders. Naturally, this framework sparked a demand bottleneck, cynically benefiting homebuilders as society gradually normalized. However, incoming political shifts could present concerns for the broader housing market.
Specifically, President-elect Donald Trump throughout the campaign trail for the 2024 election<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41301544/trump-steps-up-anti-immigrant-rhetoric-proposes-nationwide-plan-to-target-venezuelan-gang-members"> broadcasted anti-immigration sentiments</a>. Combined with his<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42572520/2025-housing-market-looks-like-a-year-of-struggle-for-states-like-builders-now-hold-record-inventory"> proposed tariffs on building materials</a>, Trump's policies could drive construction costs higher. Potentially, such a development could negatively impact demand as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/41728751/even-as-inflation-cools-most-americans-cant-get-ahead-and-continue-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-r"> most Americans have struggled</a> to get ahead of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle.
Still, it's not all doom and gloom. Despite historically high mortgage rates, several Sun Belt cities may be poised for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/12/42515226/2025s-top-housing-markets-where-home-sales-will-jump-by-up-to-27-according-to-report"> explosive sales growth in 2025</a>, according to projections from sites like Realtor.com. Several cities in Texas have consistently placed in the top rankings regarding housing demand. Further, booming areas such as Miami, Virginia Beach, Richmond and Charlotte may reignite currently deflated sentiment for homebuilding stocks.
The Direxion ETF: For investors that view the glass as half-full, the Direxion Daily Homebuilders &amp; Supplies Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NAIL#NYSE">NAIL</a>) offer the ultimate in speculation. A leveraged exchange-traded fund, NAIL seeks a return that is 300% of the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select Home Construction Index.
Fundamentally, one of the benefits of a 3X-leveraged fund is convenience. Typically, traders seeking to magnify their returns over a short time period use options, which introduce complexities. In contrast, investors can buy units of the NAIL ETF, much like buying shares of a publicly traded company. Further, NAIL covers a basket of securities, including names like DR Horton Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DHI#NYSE">DHI</a>) and Lennar Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LEN#NYSE">LEN</a>).
However, as a 3X-leveraged ETF, NAIL carries significant volatility risks. Notably, Direxion states that the fund should not be expected to provide three times the benchmark index's cumulative return for periods greater than a day. That's because exposure lasting longer than a day may expose the trader to valuation decay due to the effects of daily compounding.
Nevertheless, weekly returns of the NAIL fund over the trailing five years reflects an upward bias. Of the past 261 weeks, 146 weeks saw a positive return, reflecting a success ratio of 55.94%. What's more, there have been 12 weeks (not including last week) where NAIL lost 20% of value or more. Of this dataset, eight of the following weeks generated positive returns, with an average performance of 25.55% up.
Interestingly, in the business week ending Dec. 20, the 3X bull fund lost 21.66% of value.
The NAIL ETF: Although the leveraged housing fund was looking strong up until late November, economic and political uncertainties saw the ETF go negative for the year.
<ul>
<li>At the moment, the technical backdrop isn't enticing, with NAIL falling through its 50- and 200-day moving averages in late November and early December, respectively.</li>
<li>On the positive side, NAIL is trading above the critical $80 level, which previously acted as support throughout 2021.</li>
