Major Indices Were Mixed as Nasdaq Composite Cleared 17,000
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed more than 200 points lower on Tuesday while the Nasdaq Composite (+0.6%) closed at a fresh record high, above 17,000 for the first time. The S&P 500 Index finished little changed after it had been down as much as -0.4%. Volume was higher on both major exchanges. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 68 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 67 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).
PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after 7 losses in the past 8 sessions.
There was a stronger-than-expected Consumer Confidence report for May. NVIDIA (NVDA +6.98%) rallied to a new record high on the notion that xAI's $6 billion capital raise will benefit the AI chipmaker. The information technology sector was one of only three S&P 500 sectors to close with a gain, benefitting from the big upside move in NVDA and smaller gains in other mega caps.
The 2-yr note yield settled three basis points higher at 4.98% and the 10-yr note yield rose eight basis points to 4.54%. The fresh $69 billion 2-yr note and $70 billion 5-yr note sales met weak demand.

Pulled Back Below Prior Highs Raising Concerns
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
PDD Holdings (PDD $7.85 or -4.98% to $149.72) retreated abruptly today with a volume-driven loss undercutting the prior high raising concerns. It was highlighted in yellow in the 5/24/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 1/11/24 high plus 10 cents (read here). The Retail-Internet firm rallied to new 52-week highs with 3 consecutive volume-driven gains clearing a 20-week base during which it found prompt support at its 200 DMA line.
It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 showed encouraging sales revenues and greatly improved earnings versus the year-ago periods with growth rate acceleration. After years of losses, it had a profitable FY '21-23 helping it better match the fundamental annual earnings (A criteria) guidelines of the fact-based investment system.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,487 in Jun '23 to 1,855 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timelinesss Rating and a B Sponsorship Rating.

G - Color code is changed to green after slumping below its 50 DMA line ($19.94) raising concerns. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. There was a "negative reversal" and it closed near the session low on 5/21/24 after hitting new multi-year highs.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/06/24 high plus 10 cents. Perched near its 52-week high after wedging back above its 50 DMA line. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. It was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/17/24. Due to report Apr '24 quarterly results on 6/04/24. Fundamentals have been strong through the Jan '24 quarter when it reported earnings +102% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period.
