Found Support While Building on a New "Double Bottom" Base Pattern

Patrick Industries Inc (PATK +$0.77 or +1.20% to $64.85) rallied above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($63.23) with above average volume behind a considerable gain on the prior session and its color code was changed to yellow.  Little resistance exists due to overhead supply, and a new pivot point is cited based on its 9/06 16 high while building on a "double bottom" base. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Meanwhile, more damaging losses below the 50 DMA line again would raise concerns.

PATK was last shown in this FSU section on 8/31/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Building a New Base Above 50-Day Moving Average Line". It reported earnings +41% on +35% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, continuing its streak of quarterly comparisons steadily above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). A small downturn in FY '13 was a flaw previously noted in its annual earnings (A criteria) history. It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 4/28/16 high plus 10 cents in the 5/24/16 mid-day report (read here). 

Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.4 is an unbiased indication that its shares were under accumulation over the past 50 days. The number of top-rated funds owning its share rose from 218 in Jun '15 to 268 in Jun '16, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 14.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
