Breadth Positive and Volume Higher as Major Indices Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 climbed 2.8%, closing above the 3,900 level after several failed attempts this month. The Nasdaq Composite rallied 3.1% amid strength in tech-related shares, while the Dow added 754 points. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 9 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, but leadership has been very thin.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with Tuesday's gain backed by higher volume. It is well below its 200 DMA after slumping as much as -19.8% from its January 5, 2022 record high.
U.S. stocks finished firmly higher Tuesday, posting their best session in nearly a month in a broad-based rally. A weaker U.S. dollar helped boost risk appetite. Additionally, signs of investor capitulation were cited as contributing to the upbeat mood, with deepening pessimism appearing to serve as a contrarian signal offering some near-term upside. A widely cited industry survey showed global fund managers had slashed their exposure to risk assets to the lowest levels since October 2008.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with both cyclical and growth-oriented shares outperforming. In earnings, International Business Machines Corp. (IBM -5.25%) fell after slashing its cash flow forecasts. Meanwhile, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -1.46%) fell after a reduction to its full-year outlook overshadowed otherwise positive results.
In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar eased 0.6%, largely due to a stronger euro, which got a boost from speculation that the European Central Bank is considering a larger 0.50% rate hike this Thursday. U.S. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up five basis point (0.05%) to 3.02%. The overall curve remained inverted and continues to garner attention, as it has historically preceded recessionary periods.
On the data front, housing starts fell 2% in June, compared to the prior month’s 11.9% drop. Separately, building permits dipped 0.6% during the same period. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.3% to $103.97/barrel after logging its best day since May yesterday.

Pulled Back and Tested Support at 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cigna Corp (CI +$6.25 or +2.33% to $274.60) has shown strength after briefly undercutting prior highs in the $273 area and testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($263.15) following volume-driven gains. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns.
CI was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point based on its 5/31/22 high plus 10 cents in the 7/07/22 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Breakout for Cigna Corp". It hit a new all-time high with a gain backed by +190% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,628 in Dec '21 to 2,739 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Medical - Managed Care group is currently ranked 11th on the 197 Industry Groups list and has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 96 (A+), a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria.
CI has a 94 Earnings Per Share Rating. It is due to report Jun '22 quarterly results on 8/04/22. It reported a strong +27% earnings increase on +7% sales revenues for the Mar '22 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.
