Major Indices Rose With Greater Leadership
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow reversed an early session decline to rise 8 points, while the S&P 500 added 0.8%, now up 0.7% year-to-date. The Nasdaq Composite closed at a fresh all-time high, climbing 2.5% on strength in Tech and Tech-related shares. Decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE, meanwhile advancers narrowly outnumbered decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 89 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 60 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is perched -4.2% off its all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line recently crossed above its 200 DMA line, a bullish technical indicator termed a "golden cross".

Stocks finished higher on Monday as investors eyed the possibility of additional fiscal stimulus and optimistic COVID-19 vaccine updates. Pfizer (PFE +0.69%) and German company BioNTech (BNTX +3.46%) both traded higher on more encouraging data surrounding their collaborative vaccine candidate, while AstraZeneca’s (AZN -3.96%) gains faded despite encouraging updates from its experimental vaccine. Meanwhile, Congress will debate a fresh coronavirus relief package this week, while across the pond, the European Union remains in the midst of negotiating another massive round of aid.

Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Energy and Utilities leading decliners. The Consumer Discretionary and Technology groups were among the standouts, rebounding from last week’s underperformance. Amazon (AMZN +7.93%) rallied after being the subject of multiple Wall Street analyst price target increases. In M&A news, shares of Noble Energy (NBL +5.44%) after agreeing to be acquired by Chevron (CVX -2.20%) in a $5 billion all-stock deal, making it the largest takeover in the oil space since the start of the pandemic. In earnings, Halliburton (HAL +2.52%) after the oilfield services company posted a surprise quarterly profit.

Treasuries were little changed with the yield on the 10-year note down one basis point to 0.61%. In commodities, WTI crude rose 0.1% to $40.70/barrel, while COMEX gold gained 0.5% to $1,818.70/ounce.

Rebounded Near All-Time High With Gain Backed by Light Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Trade Desk Inc Cl A (TTD $457.65 +$24.62 +5.69% ) posted a big gain today with light volume, rallying toward its all-time high. It is very extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($370.41) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

TTD traded up as much as +39.65% since highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/07/20 high in the 6/03/20 mid-day report (read here). The Comml Svcs-Advertising firm was last shown in this FSU section on 6/24/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pullback Breaks Streak of 8 Straight Gains Into New High Ground".

Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Mar '20 quarterly earnings +84% on +33% sales revenues, and 6 of the past 7 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong, and it has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 280 in Mar '18 to 689 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. There are only 46.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
