Major Indices Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Nasdaq Composite surged 1.9%, climbing out of correction territory (defined as a 10% decline from a recent peak). The S&P 500 advanced 0.8%, back within 4.5% of its January 3 record. Both benchmarks just notched their first three-week winning streak since November. The Dow added 103 points. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing lackluster institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 6-5 margin on the NYSE and 302 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 29 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows by 2-1 on the NYSE while the highs/lows totals were nearly even on the Nasdaq exchange. The recently noted follow-through day confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system only buy stocks fitting all key fundamental and technical investment criteria.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rebounded above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines and made additional progress in recent weeks.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday amid a relief rally in recently beleaguered tech and growth-related shares. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude rebounded 4.3% to $103.54/barrel following its worst week since April 2020.

Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Utilities and Health Care the worst performers. Consumer Discretionary, Communication Services, and Technology were the standouts, amid strength in mega-cap shares. In corporate news, Twitter Inc. (TWTR +27.12%) soared after Tesla Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Elon Musk reported a 9.2% stake in the company. Meanwhile, shares of Tesla Inc. (TSLA +5.61%) after posting record vehicle deliveries during the first quarter. Elsewhere, Starbucks Corp. (SBUX -3.72%) following a decision to suspend its stock buyback program in order to increase spending on its stores and employees.

Meanwhile, Wall Street continued to monitor an inverting Treasury yield curve. The yield on the two-year note was down four basis points (0.04%) to 2.41%, still higher than the 10-year note yield, which advanced three basis points (0.03%) to 2.40%. This week, the release of the Fed’s March meeting minutes will headline the economic slate on Wednesday. On the data front today, factory orders dipped 0.5% in February, while final readings confirmed both durable and capital goods orders declined during the month.

Retail and Tech Indexes Posted Influential Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Retail Index ($RLX +2.28%) posted an influential gain on Monday, and the tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.73%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.00%), and Biotech Index ($BTK +0.93%) each gained ground. The Bank Index ($BKX -0.02%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.18%) both were little changed. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.58%) edged lower while the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.36%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.36%) each edged higher.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.18%) is sputtering back below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after recently making limited headway above them. Further technical weakness in the Broker/Dealer Index bodes poorly for the broader market outlook, as longtime readers should recognize the reliability of financial indexes as "leading indicators".

Volume Totals Have Been Light While Hovering at All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc (REGN +$3.58 or +0.52% to $698.41) has seen lighter volume totals while hovering near its all-time high after last Thursday's noted gain backed by +41% above average volume. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($640) defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. It is still less than +5% above the pivot point, not too extended from a sound base pattern.

REGN found support above its 200 DMA line ($620) during its consolidation in recent months and its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/14/21 high plus 10 cents. It has made gradual progress since last covered in greater detail on 3/16/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "6th Straight Gain Leaves Regeneron Near Record High".

The high-ranked DRUGS - Biotechnology firm reported earnings +149% on +104% sales revenues for the Dec '21 quarter versus the year ago period. That marked its 6th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) and with a strong sales revenues growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

There are 2,738 top-rated funds that own its shares as of Dec '21, up from 2,376 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. REGN completed a Secondary Offering on 5/28/20. There are 97.1 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
