Major Indices Rose With Greater Volume and Increasing Leadership

The Dow rallied 829 points, while the S&P 500 gained 2.6%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 2.1%. For the week, the Dow surged 6.8%, while the S&P 500 advanced 4.9% marking its third straight weekly gain of more than 3.0% for the first time since 1982. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite posted a five day increase of 3.4%. Advancers led decliners by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an increase in institutional buying demand. There were 60 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, more than doubling the 27 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits 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 benchmark S&P 500 Index is -5.9% off its record high hit on 2/19/20.

Stocks finished firmly higher Friday, as a surprise jump in non-farm payrolls bolstered market expectations for a swift economic recovery. On the data front, the Labor Department’s monthly jobs report showed the U.S. economy unexpectedly added 2.5 million jobs in May, rebounding from April’s historic 20.6 million decline and defying expectations for a 7.5 million drop. The unemployment rate also surprised to the upside, dipping to 13.3% from the prior month’s 14.7% reading. Treasuries firmly weakened across the curve, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note jumping seven basis points to 0.88%, having risen 23 basis points since last Friday’s close. Other perceived safe-haven assets also declined, with COMEX gold losing 2.2% to $1,680.70/ounce.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the day higher by at least 1.0%. Energy paced the gains, advancing 7.5% as WTI crude jumped 5.1% to $39.30/barrel. Stocks related to economic reopenings received a tailwind as American Airlines (AAL +11.18%) and Wynn Resorts (WYNN+6.53%) rose. In earnings, Slack Technologies (WORK -14.18%) abruptly gapped down after the software company reported slower growth in its paying customer base. Elsewhere, Broadcom (AVGO +2.65%) after reporting a limited impact from COVID-19 in the most recent quarter.

Positive Reversal Near Prior High and 50 DMA Line

Atlassian Corp (TEAM +$2.16 or +1.26% to $174.26) managed a positive reversal today after losses backed by above average volume. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($160.55) defines important support above prior highs in the $156 area. 

TEAM has a 98 Earnings Per Share rating, but fundamental concerns were raised after it recently reported earnings +19% on +33% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter, breaking a strong track record of +25% earnings increases (C criteria). This Australia - based software developer had shown 9 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since its $21 IPO on 12/10/15.

TEAM finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 2/19/20 high plus 10 cents in the 5/04/20 mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with a big gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by +61% above average volume clinching a convincing technical buy signal.

TEAM was last shown in the FSU section on 5/18/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pullback on Lighter Volume After Gain For New High on Big Volume". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 266 in Sep '17 to 727 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of A. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation or distribution over the past 50 days.

Y - Today's gain on light volume has it poised for a best ever close on the weekly chart after a noted advanced "3 weeks tight" base pattern. New pivot point cited was 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 ($73.80). Fundamentals remain strong.

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. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - From the early lows of today's session it has rebounded, yet it is still on pace for a big loss with above average volume.

It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/01/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Rebounded impressively after a deep pullback. Approaching multi-year highs where it previously met stubborn resistance in the $82-84 area. The past 3 quarterly earnings comparisons through Mar '20 versus the year ago periods were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). After years of losses, since FY 17 its annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
