Institutional Demand Rises as Major Indices Rally With Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.9%) surged more than 700 points, moving further into record territory, and the S&P 500 (+0.6%) also had another record high close. The Russell 2000 jumped +3.5%, continuing its recent outperformance. Volume was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, revealing an increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was solidly positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 176 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 115 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded again and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
 PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a 10th gain in 11 sessions and hit a new record high.
Driven by momentum with a drop in market rates,the 10-yr note yield settled at 4.17%, down six basis points, and the 2-yr note yield settled at 4.44%, down one basis point. The market's upside bias was also supported by positive responses to some earnings news. Dow component UnitedHealth (UNH +6.50%) had a sharp gain after its earnings report. Bank of America (BAC +5.35%) and PNC Financials (PNC +4.71%) were top performers in the S&P 500 financial sector (+1.2%) after good earnings news.
Six other sectors in addition to the financial sector jumped at least 1.0% today. The industrial sector (+2.5%) registered the largest gain by a decent margin followed by materials (+2.0%). The heavily-weighted information technology (-0.4%) and communication services (-0.6%) sectors were alone in negative territory by the close.
Losses in the mega cap space created some drag on the major indices. NVIDIA (NVDA -1.62%), Meta Platforms (META -1.28%), and Microsoft (MSFT -0.98%) were among the influential losers.

Y - Gapped up today and hit another new all-time high with a 4th consecutive gain. Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($71). Do not be confused as shares split 5:1 (Featured Price and Pivor Point were adjusted). Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/15/24 high plus 10 cents as it was noted - "Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal."

Y - Suffered a big loss today with +32% above average volume and ended near the session low, encountering distributional pressure after challenging prior resistance in the $220 area. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($186) defines important near-term support to watch. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
