Breadth Positive as Major Indices Rebounded

The Dow jumped 549 points, recovering from its steepest one-day rout since October. The S&P 500 saw its best one-day advance since March, climbing 1.5%, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.6%. The small-cap Russell 2000 surged more than 3%, snapping a five-session losing streak on its biggest rally since at least March. The volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 35 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week highs totals improved and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows again outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend that has come under pressure. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index found support again at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  More damaging losses would raise concerns.  

U.S. stocks staged a broad-based rebound on Tuesday as investors appeared to “buy the dip” in the aftermath of Monday’s sell-off. Longer-dated Treasuries stabilized near five-month lows, erasing an early session rally. The yield on the 10-year note added three basis points to 1.22%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed six basis points to 1.88%. Meanwhile, the two-year note rate fell one basis point to 0.20% On the data front, housing starts increased a better-than-anticipated 6.3% in June, while building permits unexpectedly declined to an eight-month low during the same period. In commodities, WTI crude bounced back 1.5% to $67.42/barrel, though still hovering in correction territory as the benchmark has tumbled more than 10% below last week's multi-year peak. Elsewhere, cryptocurrency bitcoin traded below $30,000 for the first time in a month.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with the more cyclical-oriented Financials and Industrials groups pacing gains and recouping some of yesterday’s losses. Real Estate also outperformed, with Simon Property Group (SPG +7.20%) rose on the heels of an analyst upgrade. In earnings, IBM (IBM +1.49%) rose after posting its strongest revenue growth in three years. PPG Industries (PPG -4.38%) fell after its quarterly profit missed consensus forecasts and the company issued a warning about rising costs.

Financial, Tech, Retail, and Commodity-Linked Groups Rose

The Bank Index ($BKX +3.15%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.40%) posted solid gains that underpinned the major averages' rebound. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.16%) also rose. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.93%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.92%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.37%) posted unanimous gains. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.47%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.17%) both outpaced the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.62%). 

  Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.93%) rebounded above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Extended From Prior Base and Hitting Another New High

Clarus Corporation (CLAR +$0.54 or +1.98% to $27.75) touched a new 52-week high today. It did not form a sound base of sufficient length. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($24.50) defines important near-term support to watch.

CLAR was highlighted in yellow in the 5/12/21 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 3/09/21 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in more detail with an annotated graph on 6/17/21 under the headline, "Encountering Distributional Pressure After Recent Rally". 

The high-ranked Leisure-Products firm's Sep, Dec '20 and Mar '21 quarterly results showed very strong earnings increases over the year ago periods with impressive acceleration in sales revenues growth rate. Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares barely changed from 168 in Dec '20 to 169 in Jun '21. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 22.2 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/02/20 high plus 10 cents. A gain and strong close above the pivot point cited backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a convincing new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
