Trading in Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADI#NASDAQ">ADI</a>) is flat Thursday. This follows yesterday&#8217;s gain of over 21% which was driven by an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/25/02/43855595/analog-devices-posts-q4-beat-industry-shows-early-signs-cyclical-recovery-analysts">earnings release</a>.
It isn't a surprise the rally stalled out where it did. Stocks frequently hit resistance at price levels that had been resistance before. That's the case with Analog and the $242 level.
Good traders can recognize which price levels are important in markets. They know that when a stock reaches one of these levels, the tendency is for them to either reverse, break out, or break down. These are called support and resistance levels.
Back in May when ADI reached $242, the sellers came out of the woodwork. They overpowered the buyers and pushed the price lower.
When this happened, many of the traders and investors who bought shares around $242 came to believe their decision to buy was a mistake. Some of them decided to sell their shares, but they didn't want to lose money.
As a result, they made the decision to hold onto their shares and eventually sell if they can get out at breakeven. So, when the stock returned to $242.00 in July they placed sell orders. This large concentration of these orders created resistance at the same price that had been resistance before.

Now that the price has returned to this level, a similar dynamic is occurring. People who bought shares around $242 in July are placing sell orders so they can finally exit the position at breakeven. Buyer remorse has once again caused resistance to form at a price that had previously been resistance.
When stocks reach important resistance levels, they tend not to stay at them for an extended period of time. They tend to either reverse and sell off, or break out and move higher.
This is why Analog is on the radar screen of many traders as a possible idea.
If the resistance breaks and the shares move higher, this will mean that the sellers have left the market. They have finished or canceled.&nbsp; This could be a setup for another bullish move.
If buyers enter the market, they may have a tough time finding someone to buy shares from. They may need to push the price higher to draw sellers back into the market. This could force an uptrend to form.
If the resistance doesn't break, sellers may fear missing out and reduce the prices they are willing to sell for. If they start to undercut each other this could force a downtrend to form.
Important price levels are like a fork in the road. When stocks reach them, they tend to go one way or another. Some savvy traders are waiting to see which way Analog Devices will trend before they take positions.

President Donald Trump, on Tuesday, announced plans to impose a 25% tariff on auto imports, along with tariffs on pharmaceuticals and semiconductor chips.
The auto tariffs are expected to take effect by April 2, based on a report from his cabinet. Tariffs on pharmaceuticals and chips will also start at 25% or higher, with increases over the year. Trump did not specify a start date, allowing manufacturers time to establish U.S. factories to avoid the tariffs.
The 10-year Treasury yield stood at 4.56%, while the two-year yield was at 4.30%. According to the CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>, there is a 97.5% chance that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged for the March meeting.

Insights From Analysts
Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research, pointed out that the S&amp;P 500 scaled its second all-time high of 2025 on Tuesday.
This was the 1,243rd record high over the 17,176 trading days since 1957 when the gauge increased to having 500 stocks.
Processing this data, Detrick highlighted that the S&amp;P 500 hits a new all-time high about once every three weeks.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">And with that we have the 2nd all-time high of 2025 for the S&amp;P 500. Since 1957 (when it become 500 stocks) this is 1,243 ATHs out of 17,176 trading days. In other words, a new ATH happens about once every 3 wks. New highs happen, congrats to the investors who remembered. <a href="https://t.co/D30va9bi5Y">pic.twitter.com/D30va9bi5Y</a>

He also addressed a very important question, "Should you buy when stocks are all-time highs?" in one of his X posts.
Detrick said, "Don&#8217;t be scared of new highs". He substantiated his claims by adding that the index is usually up 71% of the times, a year after scaling an all-time high.

Talking about the fresh record, Nathan Peterson, director of derivatives analysis at the <a href="https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/stock-market-update-open">Schwab Center</a> for Financial Research said: &#8220;It seems that stocks can maintain a bullish bias provided the economic data and earnings growth estimates hold up and yields on the 10-year Treasury note remain below the mid-January high of 4.8%." 
According to economist Jeremy Siegel, despite the uncertainties, "The stock market continues to perform well, particularly in the tech sector, even as leadership has broadened beyond last year's AI-driven rally."
Professor of finance at the University of Pennsylvania, Siegel also added that "Tesla took a hit on competition from China's BYD, now the world's largest EV maker. Nvidia was hit after the DeepSeek news, but overall, the tech leaders have remained resilient."
