Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin the NYSE and 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 76 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 59 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rallied for a new record high with its 8th gain in the span of 9 sessions. It stayed well above near-term support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line during the recent consolidation.

Leadership remains healthy as the major averages' (M criteria) have maintained an upward trend. New buying efforts should only be made in candidates with superior fundamental and technical characteristics. The Featured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The post-election rally continued Monday with the S&P 500 reaching $20 trillion in market cap for the first time ever. Equities also experienced widespread gains overseas as the MSCI Emerging Markets index climbing at the highest level since 2015.

Ten out of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. Financials in the index added more than 1% while Industrials and Materials also outperformed. On the earnings front, Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA +5.62%) shares advanced after posting quarterly results above Wall Street consensus. ON Semiconductor (ON +5.66%) rallied as sales came in 4% ahead of analyst expectations. Chemours (CC +14.26%) rose on news the company is settling a pending lawsuit. Telecom was the lone sector in the red with Verizon (VZ -0.88%) fell after announcing it will offer unlimited data plans for the first time since 2011.

Treasuries are declining with the benchmark 10-year note down 06/32 to yield 2.43% amid reports that foreign owners are divesting of U.S. Treasuries. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slid 1.0% to $52.88/barrel. COMEX gold lost 0.8% to $1224.40/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar finished higher against the yen and euro.

Gap Up Gain and Strong Finish Triggered Technical Buy Signal
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Seacoast Banking Corp Fl (SBCF +$1.17 or +5.08% to $25.13) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/04/17 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It quietly touched a new 52-week high on the prior session then gapped up today. Its solid gain backed by +234% above average volume clinched a technical buy signal.

The banking firm reported Dec '16 earnings +58% on +27% sales revenues, marking its 3rd consecutive strong earnings increase above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) coupled with strong sales revenues increases. Annual earnings (A criteria) have improved since a downturn and loss in FY '12.

It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 161 in Mar '16 to 188 in Dec '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation for the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 38 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
