Major Indices Posted Gains With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The benchmark S&P 500 Index reversed early session losses to climb 1.1%, though still posted a 2.2% weekly decline. The Dow jumped 321 points, trimming its five-day drawdown to 1.3%. The Nasdaq Composite added 0.9%, but still notched a weekly loss of 4.1%. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, cooling ahead of the long weekend with markets closed on Independence Day. Advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 5-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 3 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Solid gains from all major averages last Friday with much higher volume, coupled with an increase in the number of stocks hitting new highs, marked a powerful follow-through day confirming a new market uptrend (M criteria). However, any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs and leadership has been very thin.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index posted a gain on Friday after slumping all week. It remains well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.
U.S. stocks staged an afternoon relief rally on Friday as Wall Street attempted to recover from the worst first half performance for the S&P 500 since 1970. Some attributed the day’s volatility to lighter than usual trading volume ahead of the holiday weekend.
Market participants seemed to overlook a disappointing update from the Institute for Supply Management (ISM). Their gauge of manufacturing activity fell to a two-year low of 53.0 in June from May’s 56.1 print. The new orders component contracted to 49.2 versus the prior month’s 55.1, marking the lowest reading since May 2020. Still, the release renewed worries of a looming recession, inspiring Treasuries to extend their recent rally. The yield on the 10-year note slumped 14 basis points (0.14%) to 2.88%, settling 25 basis points (0.25%) below where it ended last Friday (June 24). Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar rose 0.4% against a basket of its peers. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude climbed 2.3% to $108.16/barrel as disruptions in Libyan oil exports overshadowed prospects of dimming near-term demand prospects. Meanwhile, the industrial metal copper sank to a 17-month low.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with the Utilities group pacing the gains with a 2.5% advance. Information Technology stocks underperformed on a relative basis, as a downbeat outlook from Micron Technology Inc. (MU -2.95%) weighed on chipmakers.

Volume Heavy While Rallying from Double Bottom Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
International Money Express (IMXI +$1.30 or +6.35% to $21.77) finished strong today after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) with new pivot point cited based on its 6/06/22 high. The big gain above the pivot point was backed by +438% above average volume triggering a technical buy signal. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply. The recent rebound above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($19.92) helped its outlook improve. It found support above its 200 DMA line since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/20/22. It was last shown with detailed analysis on 5/12/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Fell Below 50-Day Moving Average Line Testing Prior Highs".
IMXI has a 96 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Mar '22 quarterly earnings +26% on +21% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The Financial Services-Specialty firm's quarterly and annual earnings (C and A criteria) history has been strong and backed by solid sales revenues growth. The past 7 quarterly comparisons showed earnings increases above the year ago period by more than +25% (C criteria).
There is a small supply of only 38.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 210 in Mar '21 to 276 in Mar '221, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. |
