After a negative sentiment in t, US stocks appear to be in the green on Monday.

According to Vanda Research, trading volume for newly listed companies like Instacart and Arm declined significantly over the course of the last few days. According to the research agency, the recovery in the stock market paved the way for excitement regarding IPOs.

Wolfe Research has given a “Peer Perform” rating to Instacart stock. They also gave a fair value range of $24 to $42 per share to the stock. A Needham analyst argued that Instacart is likely to face strong competition from Amazon, giving the shares a “Neutral” rating.
Considering the little price history of NASDAQ: CART after its exchange listing, $31.5 appears to be a critical level for the price. After working as a support, this level has now flipped into a strong resistance level. As long as the price remains below this level, the outlook on Instacart stock price is likely to remain bearish.
Another significant level on the chart is the $30 level, which is the IPO price. Currently, the price is trading just a few cents above the IPO price. In case of a reclaim of the $30 level, the stock price might head for a retest of the $31.5 resistance level.
