The major averages finished the session higher, albeit off of their best levels on Thursday's session. The volume totals on the exchanges were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange indicating a modest increase in institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 71 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 57 stocks. There were gains for 6 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks edged higher through much of the day as investors responded to a positive report on weekly jobless claims and several corporate earnings reports. Equity markets did an exhale late in the session after Fed Chairman Bernanke warned that vulnerabilities in the markets still exist.

All 10 sectors on the S&P finished higher, led by gains in telecom stocks. Verizon Communications Inc (VZ +2.74%) rose on news that the company was preparing a bid to take full control of the wireless unit from Vodafone Groups Plc (VOD +2.82%). On the earnings front, United Parcel Service Inc (UPS +2.30%) and Dunkin Brands Group Inc(DNKN +3.67%) rose as both companies topped analysts' estimates in the quarter. On the downside, 3M Co (MMM -2.77%) fell after the company lowered their full year earnings guidance.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were modestly lower with the benchmark 10-year note off 1/32 to yield 1.71%.

The window is open for a possible follow-through-day within what has historically proven as most favorable between Days 4-7 of a new rally attempt. The market's (M criteria) latest rally attempt is encouraging, however new buying efforts should still be avoided until there has been a follow-through day of meaningful gains (+1.4% or greater) from at least one of the major averages with higher volume coupled with an expansion in leadership.  That kind of bullish action is necessary to confirm that any new rally has the characteristics of institutional accumulation which have marked the beginning of most sustained market advances.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a small gain on Day 5 of a new rally attempt. The Blue Chip index stayed well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on pullbacks this year. On Thursday's session the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained over 24 points to 14,700 after being up as many as 91 points in early action.

The Retail Index ($RLX +1.37%) helped underpin the major averages' rally as the influential Bank Index ($BKX +0.51%) led the financial group higher followed by a smaller gain from the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.14%).  The tech sector was led higher by the Networking Index ($NWX +2.36%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.17%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.99%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.79%) finished with unanimous gains. There was bullish action in defensive groups as the  Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.08%) outpaced the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.72%). Energy-related shares were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.32%) edged lower and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.37%) posted a modest gain.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +1.37%) rallied into new high territory. Strength in retail-related shares is a reassuring sign that suggests consumers are still spending despite various challlenges.

This MLP in the Natural Gas business rallied to a new 52-week high today with volume +243% above average. That volume total was well above the +40% above average volume threshold which is the bare minimum needed to confirm a proper technical buy signal.  Heavy volume with a big price increase and surge into new high territory is a bullish indication of institutional accumulation. It is very reassuring, but not a guarantee that any stock will go on to produce great gains.

EQM rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after recent distributional pressure. It reported strong results for the Mar '13 quarter, and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with accelerating sales revenues increases are very reassuring. Prior mid-day reports cautioned - "Limited history is a concern and it has traded up considerably since its 6/27/12 IPO at $21."
