Major Indices Rallied With Higher Volume and Leadership Expansion
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow climbed 367 points, while the S&P 500 advanced 2.2% to cap a 5% three-day rally. The Nasdaq Composite surged 3.9% amid a rally in mega cap tech stocks. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of greater institutional buying demand. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by about an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 78 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 31 on the prior session. The new 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with a solid follow-through day of gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.  PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line after undercutting the September low and rebounded to its 50 DMA line.
Stocks pushed higher on Wednesday as investors continued to monitor the U.S. presidential election. Equity futures fluctuated wildly overnight as momentum swung between incumbent President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. After taking slim leads in battleground states such as Wisconsin and Michigan on Wednesday, analysts identified Biden as a slight favorite to win the White House, though several key races remained too close to call.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished the session higher, with the Health Care group pacing the gains. Biogen (BIIB +43.97%) surged following reports pointing to a favorable FDA ruling on its Alzheimer’s drug. Communication Services and Technology stocks also rallied with Alphabet (GOOGL +6.09%), Facebook (FB +8.32%), and Microsoft (MSFT +4.82%) each jumping considerably on the day. Materials and Financials lagged, as value-oriented shares lost momentum. Meanwhile, Uber (UBER +14.6%) after California voters approved a proposition allowing ride-share companies to classify workers as independent contractors rather than employees.
Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note falling 12 basis points to 0.77%. Commodities were mixed, with gold falling 0.4% to $1903.60/ounce and WTI crude adding 3.6% to $39.00/barrel. On the data front, a report from ADP showed that private payrolls increased 365,000 in October, well below September’s gain of 750,000 jobs. Separately, the Institute for Supply Management Services Index eased to 56.6 in October from 57.8 the prior month. |

Retail, Biotech, and Semiconductor Indexes Led Group Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +3.98%) posted a solid gain but the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.16%) sputtered for a small loss and the Bank Index ($BKX -5.03%) slumped badly. The Biotech Index ($BTK +5.88%) outpaced the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +3.54%) while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.08%) finished flat. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.72%) slumped while the energy-linked Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.55%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.34%) were mixed and little changed.
PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX +0.08%) halted its slide above the prior low but it is sputtering near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line which has acted as resistance.

Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Helped Technical Stance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Trex Company Inc (TREX +$4.42 or +6.23% to $75.32) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($72.83) today with a big volume-driven gain helping its technical stance and outlook improve. The prior low ($63.32 on 9/21/20) defines the next near-term support. Recently it reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +14% on +19% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) raising fundamental concerns while breaking a streak of 4 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of B and a Sponsorship Rating of C.

G - Gapped up and rebounded near its 50 DMA line ($81.26) with today's volume-driven gain. Subsequent losses and deterioration below the recent low would raise greater concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $94 level. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.

G - Reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +27% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Posted a 3rd consecutive gain today with above average volume, rising and closing back above the 50 DMA line ($116.35) helping its outlook to improve.
