ASX outlook for the week ahead
The last two days of last week showed the first signs a pull back for the All Ords, after four weeks of moving up.
With Christmas around the corner and borders reopening around the country people are starting to spend again.
If the move up continues, then the level of 6,986 points may come into focus.
On the downside, if the market retraces, then 6,486 and 6,256 points may be the levels that halt the fall.

A broader look at the ASX
The week been Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Inc, moved up to become the second richest person in the world.
A lot of this is due to his 20% holding in the electric car company, Tesla.
The Tesla share price gained over 718% throughout 2020.

At the time of writing Tesla held a market cap of over US$500 billion.
On the back of this Tesla is joining the S&P 500. It all looks good, but have we seen this before?
Back in December 1999 Yahoo made its way into the S&P 500, just four months before the bust of the dotcom bubble.
While Tesla turned a profit of US$104 million in Q2 2020, it may not be enough to justify the mega market cap.

The last time the Dow Jones fell over from a dotcom bubble it took the All Ords with it. As seen above.
In a year like 2020 where tech stocks are all the rage, in the middle of a pandemic a fallout wouldn’t be the strangest thing to take place.
