Relative Strength Fades With 5th Consecutive Loss
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Dynatrace Inc (DT -$2.05 or -4.03% to $48.77) had higher (near average) volume behind today's 5th consecutive loss as it sank further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($51.28) with damaging losses raising concerns. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Recent lows in the $45 area define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Its Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 63, well below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

Keep in mind it is due to report Mar '21 quarterly results on 5/12/21. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Fundamentals have been strong. Dec '20 quarterly earnings rose +70% on +28% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating. DT was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/02/20 high in the 2/04/21 mid-day report (read here). The high-ranked Computer Sftwr-Enterprse firm was last shown in this FSU section on 4/08/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gap Up Rebounding Further Above 50-Day Moving Average".

DT completed its $16.00 IPO on 8/01/19 and Secondary Offerings on 12/06/19, 2/21/20, and 6/03/20. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 226 in Sep '19 to 829 in Mar '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have encountered slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a B Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship rating.
