Leadership Improved While Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, closing just short of its February 19th all-time high. The Dow lost 86 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.0% to a record high. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 9-7 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 56 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 22 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is +24% year-to-date. Stocks finished mixed Monday, as investors digested fresh stimulus from the Chinese central bank. Overnight, the People’s Bank of China injected 700 billion yuan ($101 billion) into its medium-term lending facility boosting sentiment.
Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory, with Tech and Consumer Discretionary shares pacing gains. Financials lagged amid news that Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway reduced its stake in some of Wall Street’s biggest banks. In earnings, JD.com (JD +7.93%) rose after China’s second largest online retailer exceeded estimates on the top and bottom line, benefiting from an increase in online spending. In corporate news, Home Depot (HD +2.74%) rose a day ahead of its earnings release after a report cited higher in-store foot traffic for June and July. Elsewhere, NVidia (NVDA +6.68%) rose after being subject to a price target increase on Wall Street. In M&A activity, Principia Biopharma (PRNB +9.38%) rose after agreeing to be bought by French drugmaker Sanofi (SNY +2.03%) for roughly $3.7 billion.
On the data front, a report from the NAHB showed homebuilder sentiment spiked to its best level since 1998. Separately, manufacturing activity in the New York State region worsened more than anticipated this month. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the 10-year note falling two basis points to 0.69%, drifting from an eight-week high. In commodities, COMEX gold rebounded 2.0% to $1,975.90/ounce after snapping a nine-week winning streak. WTI crude advanced 1.9% to $42.81/barrel following a second-straight weekly gain.

Gold & Silver Index Posts Standout Gain; Retail and Tech Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +1.43%) posted a solid gain while weakness in the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.95%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -2.12%) created a drag on the major indices. The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.62%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.22%) led the tech sector higher while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.44%) edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +5.83%) posted a standout gain, but the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.14%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.58%) both lost ground.
PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.95%) recently found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and is perched -6.5% off its record high hit in February.

Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average Line and Recent Low
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Docusign Inc (DOCU +$7.99 or +4.00% to $207.70) has not formed a sound base of sufficient length and it is consolidating above Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($188.22) and the recent low ($189.12 on 8/12/20) which define important near-term support to watch. Subsequent losses leading to violations may trigger technical sell signals. Keep in mind it is scheduled to report July '20 quarterly results on 9/03/20.
DOCU is now priced +84% above its 200 DMA price, and it is taught in the Certification that a stock trading +70-100% or more above the 200 DMA is to be recognized as a "sell signal". It was last shown in this FSU section on 7/28/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "E-Signature Firm is Extended From Any Sound Base". It was highlighted in yellow in the 6/01/20 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 5/02/20 high plus 10 cents after forming an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% during its ongoing ascent.
It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 84, above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates. Recently it reported earnings +71% on +39% sales revenues for the Apr '20 quarter versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago period were above the +25% minimum guideline with solid underlying sales revenues growth. After years of losses it had solid earnings in FY '19 and '20.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 558 on Jun '19 to 1,159 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 also is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. The Computer Software-Enterprise industry group is currently ranked 7th of the 197 Industry Groups (L criteria).

G - Volume totals have been cooling while hovering near its all-time high. Bullish action last week came after it reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance. The prior high ($189.85 on 6/03/20) defines initial support to watch above its 50 DMA line ($191.37).
