G - Violated the prior low ($118) and abruptly fell near its 200 DMA line ($111) with a damaging volume-driven loss today following earnings news. Reported earnings +40% on +14% sales revenues for the Mar '19 quarter. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($125.13) is needed for its outlook to improve. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Y - Gapped up on the prior session but encountered distributional pressure and ended in the lower part of its intra-day range after hitting new 52-week and all-time highs. Rebounded above its 50 DMA line ($105.93) helping its outlook improve and its color code was changed to yellow. Bullish action came after it reported earnings +54% on +13% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 versus the year ago period. Found support near prior highs in the $98-100 area. A subsequent gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
