Indices Were Mixed and Indecisive as Leadership Thinned
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices ended Friday's session mixed and little changed. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Advancers narrowly led decliners on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinnned as there were 20 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) that recently endured some pressure. It was encouraging to see recent improvement in the new highs totals with the market showing some broad-based strength and resilience. Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
 PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating near its all-time high.
A lack of conviction on Friday hinted at the sense stocks overall are due for a pullback. The consumer discretionary sector rose 1.0% while the information technology sector fell -0.8%. Mixed action played out in the mega cap space. NVIDIA (NVDA -3.22%), Meta Platforms (META -1.38%), Broadcom (AVGO -4.38%), and Apple (AAPL -1.04%) fell. Meanwhile, Amazon (AMZN +1.60%), Alphabet (GOOG +1.43%), and Microsoft (MSFT +0.92%) posted gains.
Some stronger-than-expected preliminary June S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing and Services PMI readings were reported, and existing home sales report for May that was close to expectations. The 2-yr note yield was unchanged at 4.73%. The 10-yr note yield also settled unchanged today at 4.26%. |

Encountered Distributional Pressure Hovering Near All-Time High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD -$1.56 or -0.41% to $380.58) encountered some distributional pressure and after losses on higher volume it is now consolidating below its "max buy" level. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($330) defines near-term support to watch. Bullish action came after it reported Apr '24 quarterly earnings +63% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, continuing its strong track record of earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons backed by solid sales revenues growth. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,880 in Jun 23 to 2,465 in Mar '24, 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. The Austin, TX-based company completed its $34 IPO on 6/12/19.

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while holding its ground after wedging to new all-time highs with gains lacking great volume conviction. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/07/24 high. To clinch a proper technical buy signal gains above the pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above-average volume. Fundamentals remain strong.
