Major Indices Rise With Greater Volume and More Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The S&P 500 advanced 1.4% to its best level in three months and now sits within 8% of its record high reached on February 19. The Dow climbed 527 points, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.8%. The Nasdaq 100 logged a fresh all-time high intraday, while the small-cap Russell 2000 Index surged 2.7%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of greater institutional buying demand. There were 65 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 48 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so the recent improvement in new highs totals was noted as an encouraging sign.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index finished -1.6% off its record high hit on 2/19/20.

Stocks finished higher on Wednesday as encouraging data reports fueled hopes for a quick economic recovery. On the data front, separate gauges of U.S. services sector activity showed signs of stabilization in May. Additionally, the ADP revealed private payrolls declined by less than 2.8 million in May, significantly lower than forecasts of 9 million and April’s 19.6 million figure. Overseas, China’s Caixin services PMI returned to expansionary territory for the first time since January, while activity in the eurozone also improved.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up eight basis points to 0.76%. Other perceived safe haven assets declined, with a gauge of the U.S. dollar slipping to its lowest point since early March.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Health Care the sole laggard. The more cyclical and value-oriented groups outperformed, with Financials and Industrials each rallying nearly 4%. In stock news, Boeing (BA +12.95%) rose on reports that private investment firm Third Point acquired a stake in the jet maker. Elsewhere, Microchip Technology (MCHP +12.34%) rose following a boost to its current-quarter forecasts. In earnings, Zoom Video Communications (ZM +7.59%) hit another new high after the company doubled its full-year revenue projections on the heels of a solid earnings beat.

Trade Desk Posts Powerful Gain for New High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Trade Desk Inc Cl A (TTD +$36.72 or +11.54% to $354.980 finished strong after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/07/20 high in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with today's big gain following a deep pullback and a 3-week handle-like consolidation. The big gain and strong close above the pivot point was backed by +73% above average volume triggering a convincing technical buy signal.

Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Mar '20 quarterly earnings +84% on +33% sales revenues, and 6 of the past 7 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). The Comml Svcs-Advertising firm made a choppy ascent since last shown in this FSU section on 9/09/19 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Distributional Action Weighs on Prior Leader". Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, and it has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 280 in Mar '18 to 587 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are only 46.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Color code was changed to yellow after forming an advanced "3 weeks tight" base pattern with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/12/20 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to clinch a convincing new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Prior low ($78.28 on 5/14/20) defines initial support above its 50 DMA line ($72.57).

Most Recent Note - 6/2/2020 6:36:24 PM Y - Managed a "positive reversal" on 5/27/20 but volume totals have been very light behind recent gains. Found prompt support near its 50 DMA line ($410.72), and more damaging losses would trigger a technical sell signal. A rebound and subsequent gains above the pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
