"When the NDX pops, it tends to take many of its components along for the ride, like now," said Frank Cappelleri, executive director of Instinet. "If the index continues higher but the % of its stocks > their 50 Day MAs drop off, it would tell us that breadth is waning." —Imbert

HSBC analyst Ali Naqvi upgraded Carnival shares to buy from hold even as the cruise line industry faces massive challenges amid the coronavirus outbreak. "Given the recent positive peer data on booking trends (albeit early days and small numbers) and Carnival aiming for a phased return of service from August, we think these factors could improve their booking and customer deposit outlook," Naqvi wrote in a note to clients. Carnival shares have plunged more than 70% year to date. However, the stock has jumped over 12% over the past month amid hopes that the economy will reopen soon. —Imbert, Bloom

The firm said on Monday that General Motors was the most well-positioned of the automobile companies. "We view GM as being on top of the list of stocks where 'proving' resilience should unlock value, as the stock managed to dismiss years of fundamental outperformance on account of the need to 'prove' resilience into a downturn," analyst Itay Michaeli said. The firm also said once a bottom becomes "evident" then U.S. autos should "meaningfully re-rate." Shares of GM are up 11% this quarter. - Bloom

Goldman Sachs predicted there will soon be a pullback in stocks as the market is poised to get hit by a lack of buybacks, dividend cuts as well as rising political uncertainties. The bank said the S&P 500 will fall to 2,400 over the next three months, a nearly 20% decline from here, before it rebounds to 3,000 by year-end. "A single catalyst may not spark a pullback, but a number of concerns and risks exist that we believe, and our client discussions confirm, investors are downplaying," David Kostin, bank's chief U.S. equity strategist, said in a note. 

Among the six negative catalysts, the strategist pointed to an increase in new coronavirus cases outside of New York state, which suggests infection may accelerate as more states begin to relax shelter-in-place restrictions. Meanwhile, investors should be cautious about the risks stemming from the U.S. presidential election and the ongoing trade tensions with China, Kostin said. –Li

CNBC's Covid-19 Testing & Treatments Index jumped more than 2% on Monday, led higher by shares of Novavax and Moderna, which were each up more than 9%. The index is equal-weighed and currently comprised of 29 companies that are working on testing and treating the coronavirus. It typically trades in tandem with the S&P 500 given how important developments around a potential treatment or vaccine are to the market, but Monday's move higher was in contrast to the benchmark's 0.5% decline. – Stevens

Meridian Bioscience, which is a producer and distributor of diagnostic test kits, may be an "overlooked beneficiary" of the pandemic, according to William Blair analyst Brian Weinstein. "Over the last several weeks, we have started digging into what we thought were new dynamics unfolding at Meridian as a result of the company's life science division being a provider of critical components for COVID-19 molecular and antibody tests," he said. The firm said it sees a buying opportunity as testing continues to ramp up. "The global pandemic has created an opportunity for the company to significantly increase the revenue and exposure of its life science business, which we expect will be a multiyear benefit to cash flow and profitability." Shares of the company are up 83% this year. - Bloom

Hedge fund investor Paul Tudor Jones said if the coronavirus pandemic doesn't get contained for another year and the lockdown remains in place, the economy would be in a "Second Depression." "If a year from now, we are still in the same situation, we would be called a Second Depression," Jones said on CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday. "Just depends on whether unfortunately this goes to a year with this kind of a lockdown." The Great Depression from 1929 to 1939 was the worst economic downturn in U.S. history. The founder and chief executive officer at Tudor Investment said because of how America feels about individual freedoms, the country may have trouble following contact tracing and other methods used by other nations to contain the virus quickly. "If you look at the Asian countries that are succeeding and beating this, they are doing it because they place a much greater emphasis on society values than they do on individual rights," Jones said. "Americans are too different. I don't think we would be able to come together and do that." –Li

He's one of the biggest employers and manufacturers in California, and California should prioritize doing whatever they need to do to solve those health issues so that he can open quickly and safely, or they're going to find as he's threatened he's going to move his production to a different state." - Stevens

Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said on "Squawk Box" that actions by the Federal Reserve helped fuel the rally in stocks over the past six weeks but the U.S. will need to make more progress on the health care front for stocks to push higher. "I think this part of the bounce was easy to forecast, I think what happens from here again depends a lot on Covid stuff. There'll be a shift in focus from liquidity issues somewhere down the line to solvency issues.If we don't find a vaccine or a cure, if we don't find a much better way of testing at scale ... then I think the market's going to have a much more difficult time," Jones said. Jones said in late March, shortly after the most recent low for the S&P 500, that he expected stocks to rise over the coming months. —Pound

Hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones said Monday that nearly 2% of his assets are in bitcoin, noting that Wall Street could be seeing the "birthing of a store of value" through the digital currency. "It's a great speculation," Jones told CNBC's "Squawk Box." "If you take cash, on the other hand, and you think about it from a purchasing power standpoint: If you own cash in the world today, you know your central bank has an avowed goal of depreciating its value 2% per year," he added. "So you have, in essence, a wasting asset in your hands." Jones also said he owns gold as well. —Imbert, Franck

The White House is negotiating with congressional leaders about more fiscal relief but is waiting to see what happens as more states open. Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that the administration is waiting until late May or early June to move forward. "It's not that we're not talking. We are. It's just informal at this stage," he said. As the coronavirus growth rate has slowed, states have started to reopen. Economies worth about 65% of U.S. GDP will start coming back online partially by the end of this week, according to Citigroup.

The S&P 500 could revisit its late-March lows if the broader-market index does not clear a key area of technical resistance, according to BofA Securities Stephen Suttmeier. Last week's gains put the S&P 500 "back at the 61.8% retracement of the February-March decline at 2934 with the 4/29 peak near 2955, which is just ahead of big resistance at 3000-3027 (200-day MA and late 2019 breakout point). If the 3000-3027 resistance holds, the SPX is likely to correct its advance from late March," Suttmeier said. —Imbert, Bloom
