Major Indices Rallied With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 (+1.1%), the Nasdaq Composite (+1.0%), the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.6%), and the Russell 2000 (+1.7%) each closed more than +1.0% higher in a broad advance on Friday. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster buying demand from the institutional crowd. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 112 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 70 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has been encountering pressure (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership and it remains important for a continuing flow of stocks hitting new highs.
PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index posted a gain on Friday finishing near its 2024 high.
The June Personal Income and Spending Report showed some fairly steady behavior in the PCE and core-PCE price indexes on a year-over-year basis. The 10-yr note yield settled six basis points lower at 4.20%. The 2-yr note yield settled five basis points lower at 4.39%.
In earnings news, 3M (MMM +23.0%), Mohawk (MHK +19.5%), Charter Comm (CHTR +16.6%), and Norfolk Southern (NSC +10.9%) were among the winning standouts. Meanwhile, Dexcom (DXCM -40.7%) logged the largest decline in the S&P 500 by a big margin after disappointing FY24 revenue guidance.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. The industrial (+1.7%) and materials (+1.7%) sectors led the pack while the energy sector logged the slimmest gain, up 0.4%.

Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.70%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.71%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.25%) each posted a small gain.
PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.25%) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after finding support above its 200 DMA line.

Encountered Distributional Pressure When Poised to Break Out
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Texas Roadhouse (TXRH +$3.36 or +2.02% to $169.38) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/28/24 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. It gapped up rebounding from below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and rose within close striking distance of its all-time high, however it finished near the session low, action indicative of distributional pressure. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal.
TXRH has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. It reported Jun '24 quarterly earnings +47% on +15% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Sequential quarterly comparisons show impressive earnings growth rate acceleration. Annual earnings growth has been strong since a downturn in FY '20.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 682 in Sep '23 to 733 in Jun '24, 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.

G - Gapped down today after rebounding but meeting resistance at its 50 DMA line ($1,297.53) which is now downward sloping. It is -8.3% off its all-time high. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed to improve its outlook. Fundamentals remain strong.

G - Halted its slide with today's gain following 2 damaging volume-driven losses. A rebound above its 50 DMA line ($56.20) line is needed for its outlook to improve. Repeatedly noted - "A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.60)."

G - Abruptly slumped below its 50 DMA line ($138.56) with heavier volume behind damaging losses last week raising concerns and triggering a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Encountered distributional pressure after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/28/24 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. Gapped up rebounding from below its 50 DMA line and back within close striking distance of its all-time high. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported Jun '24 quarterly earnings +47% on +15% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. Sequential quarterly comparisons show impressive earnings growth rate acceleration. Annual earnings growth has been strong since a downturn in FY '20. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
