Nasdaq Hits New Record High as Tech Sector Underpins Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow gained 153 points, while the S&P 500 rose 0.7%. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 1.1%, notching its longest winning streak this year, rising for the seventh straight session. Advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and 9-7 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, as Friday's totals were inflated by options expirations. There were 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 59 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. New lows were in the single digits on the NYSE for the 16th day in a row. The major indices remain in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it was encouraging to recently see the new highs totals improve. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index finished at a new record high close after posting a 7th consecutive gain.
Stocks ended higher on Monday, as investors looked past concerns of rising COVID-19 infections, and instead focused on recent signs of stabilization in the economy. Market participants remain hopeful that policymakers will not slow business activity, despite the U.S. reporting the highest daily increase in coronavirus cases since May 1.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory. The Technology group paced the gains, with Apple (AAPL +2.62%) and Microsoft (MSFT +2.78%) both rising to fresh all-time highs. The iPhone maker caught a bid as investors had positive takeaways from the company’s virtual Worldwide Developers Conference. In other corporate news, American Airlines (AAL -6.75%) fell after the company said it plans secure $3.5 billion in new financing in order to improve liquidity during the coronavirus pandemic. Elsewhere, Tyson Foods (TSN -2.85%) fell after China announced it would suspend poultry imports following a coronavirus outbreak at a meat processing plant.
On the data front, the Chicago Fed National activity Index unexpectedly rebounded into positive territory in May. A separate update showed existing home sales declined 9.7% month-over-month in May to the lowest level since October 2010. Treasuries modestly weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.70%. In commodities, WTI crude rose 1.8% to $40.46/barrel. COMEX gold gained 0.6% to $1,756.30/ounce, near a seven-year high.

Gain for Recent New High Backed by +71% Above Average Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ping Identity Hldg Corp (PING +$1.89 or +5.89% to $33.99) rebounded for its second best ever close with lighter volume behind a big gain today following a "negative reversal" after hitting a new all-time high on the prior session. The big gain on 6/18/20 with +71% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Prior highs in the $29 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.
PING was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/20/20 high plus 10 cents in the 6/01/20 mid-day report (read here). The gain above the pivot point was backed by +127% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal as it hit a new 52-week high (N criteria). It was shown in this FSU section that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Strong Gain for New High Backed by 127% Above Average Volume".
Its $15 IPO was completed on 9/19/19 and after a choppy ascent it completed a Secondary Offering on 5/15/20. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 83 in Sep '19 to156 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
The Computer Software-Security firm reported strong earnings results well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 versus the year ago periods. Limited earnings history is a concern, however, leadership in the Computer Software - Security industry group (L criteria) is a reassuring sign. The groups is currently ranked 12th of the 197 industry groups.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/20/20 high plus 10 cents after a 5-week flat base with volume totals cooling during the orderly consolidation. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. The prior low ($126.88 on 6/15/20) and its 50 DMA line ($127.37) define important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Y - Volume totals have been cooling while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($54.12). The prior low ($49.09 on 5/27/20) defines the next important support to watch. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to trigger a convincing technical buy signal. Previously met stubborn resistance in the $57-59 area. Gains into new high territory may mark the beginning of a substantial leg higher. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 showed very strong earnings increases with greatly improved sales revenues growth in the Dec '19 and Mar '20 comparisons versus the year ago period.

Gains above a stock's pivot point must have at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Any damaging losses below the 50 DMA line and prior lows would trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.

Y - Suffered a loss today with higher (above average) volume. Completed a new Pubic Offering on 6/17/20. Prior highs in the $90-91 area have acted as support following a powerful breakout. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Y - Posted a 6th consecutive gain today with heavier volume. Perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. It previously met stubborn resistance in the $82-84 area.
