Major Indices Rose with Greater Leadership as NVIDA Rebounded
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 closed +0.9% higher and the Nasdaq Composite jumped +2.0%, both closing near their best levels of the day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.3%) and Russell 2000 (+0.2%) also posted gains. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. On the NYSE decliners led advancers by a 5-4 margin while the mix was even at the Nasdaq exchange. There were 53 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 24 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, however new lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices shook off recent pressure (M criteria) as leadership has improved meaningfully, however healthy leadership remains necessary in order to avoid a more worrisome correction. Disciplined investors know to only buy stocks meeting all key criteria as they emerge from properly formed bases.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index abruptly pulled back today testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The upside action was led by mega caps and chipmakers as NVIDIA (NVDA +8.8%) rebounded. Mixed responses to earnings news were shown by Royal Caribbean (RCL +12.0%), General Motors (GM -8.9%), and Lockheed Martin (LMT -9.2%). Microsoft (MSFT +2.9%) and Meta Platforms (META +2.2%) rose ahead of reporting quarterly results after Wednesday's close. Apple (AAPL +3.7%) also rose, and it reports earnings after Thursday's close.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors registered losses ranging from -0.2% (financials) to -1.5% (consumer staples).

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.47%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.32%) both posted gains while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.08%) finished flat.

Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.79%) rose while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.45%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.17%) both ended lower.
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.08%) is perched within close striking distance of its 52-week high after rebounding and making steady progress above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Breakout Backed by Volume Twice the Average Daily
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Hubspot Inc (HUBS +$36.14 or +4.77% to $794.57) hit a new 52-week high with today's 2nd consecutive gain backed by +103% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Its color code was changed to yellow when highlighted in the 1/27/25 mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 12/04/24 high plus 10 cents, rallying from support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($717). It was noted - "A gain and strong close above the pivot point may clinch a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. It went through a deep consolidation and rebounded since dropped from the Featured Stocks list when last noted on 5/02/24." HUBS was last shown in this FSU section on 4/25/24 in detail with an annotated graph under the headline, "HUBS Testing 50-day Moving Average Line Again".
HUBS has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Through the Sep '24 quarter its earnings increases versus the year-ago periods have been strong and steady above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,530 in Jun '23 to 1,890 in Dec '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Posted again today with +34% above average volume, finding support above its 200 DMA line ($174.70). Lingering below its 50 DMA line ($188) in recent weeks, a rebound above that important short-term average is needed for its outlook to improve.

Y - Posted a gain today with above average volume, consolidating near its all-time high. Recent volume-driven gains above the pivot point triggered a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Near-term support to watch is the prior high ($120.71 on 1/06/25) and its 50 DMA line ($116). Fundamentals remain strong.

G - Pulled back today with near average volume, retreating after wedging to new all-time highs above its "max buy" level. It did not produce gains above its pivot point with heavy enough volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($91.72) defines initial support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.

It wedged above the pivot point cited based on its 12/04/24 high and hitting new all-time highs. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Hitting yet another new all-time high with today's volume-driven gain adding to a noted spurt higher. Due to report Dec '24 quarterly results on 1/29/25. Keep in mind that volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 12/04/24 high plus 10 cents after a short flat base. Found prompt support after briefly undercutting its 50 DMA line ($1,079). A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Sep '24 quarterly earnings +27% on +22% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/19/24.
