TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain with higher volume marked a follow-through day on Day 4 of the new rally attempt which signaled a new confirmed uptrend for the market (M criteria). 


Nasdaq Composite Leads Indices Higher With Follow-Through Day

All major indices started the month of November with solid gains, closing near the best levels of the session. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE but lead was narrower on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, a solid improvement versus the total of 7 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Nasdaq Composite Index's solid gain with higher volume marked a follow-through day on Day 4 of the new rally attempt which signaled a new confirmed uptrend for the market (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fittting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index rose above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with a 4th consecutive gain backed by higher volume.

The FOMC did what everyone expected it to do and voted unanimously to leave the target range for the fed funds rate unchanged at 5.25-5.50%. In the press conference, Mr. Powell acknowledged that the Fed has come very far with this rate-hike cycle. The 2-yr note yield settled at 4.97%, 11 basis points lower. The 10-yr note yield settled at 4.79%.

Only two of the S&P 500 sectors closed lower, energy (-0.3%) and consumer staples (-0.1%). The heavily weighted information technology sector (+2.1%) led the pack. 
Mega caps powered the afternoon move, but many other stocks contributed to the index gains. 

Paycom Software (PAYC -38.49%), Match Group (MTCH -15.39%), and Estee Lauder (EL -18.90%) were standout losers after reporting quarterly results. Meanwhile, Generac (GNRC +14.39%) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +9.69%) posted big gains after their quarterly results.
