Weak action was recently noted as a "correction", however, technical strength noted in the Dow Jones Industrial Average today has helped the uptrend resume - a quick positive shift concerning the M criteria.

Leadership Improves and Dow Industrials Resume the Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 306 points to notch a fresh all-time high during intraday trading. The S&P 500 erased a 1% gain to end the session down 0.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite slumped 2.4%. The volume was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE while the mix was nearly even on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 132 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 63 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. As the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 2nd consecutive big gain and hit a new record high, technically, it ended the recently noted "correction", resuming the market uptrend (M criteria). Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on a case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 2nd consecutive big gain and hit a new record high, technically ending the recently noted "correction" and resuming the market uptrend (M criteria). It found prompt support after undercutting its 50-day moving average (DMA) line last week.
U.S. stocks finished mixed on Monday as investors continued to rotate out of Tech and other high growth sectors and into more cyclical-oriented pockets of the equity market. Progress on fiscal stimulus was also in focus, with the U.S. Senate having passed the latest $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package over the weekend. The measure could come to a vote in the U.S. House of Representatives as soon as Tuesday.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year note was up four basis points to 1.60%, with government bonds extending losses into a sixth consecutive week. In commodities, WTI crude erased earlier gains of more than 2%, instead falling 2.2% to $64.65/barrel. Oil prices had jumped overnight amid reports of an attack on a Saudi Arabian production facility. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar strengthened to its highest point since late November.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Technology dropping 2.5%. In corporate news, General Electric (GE +4.19%) rose on reports the company is close to a $30 billion deal to combine its aircraft leasing segment with Ireland’s AerCap Holdings Nv (AER +13.25%) . Also in the M&A space, retirement services company Athene Holdings Ltd (ATH +5.97%) rose after agreeing to be purchased by private-equity firm Apollo Global. Elsewhere, Walt Disney (DIS +6.28%) rallied as a rollback of COVID-19 restrictions in California would permit the reopening of Disneyland in April. |
