Major Averages Ended Mixed With Lighter Volume Totals on the Exchanges

The major averages ended mixed on Monday. The volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancing issues by about a 3-2 margin on the NYSE while the mix was closer to even on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 81 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 86 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 10 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The recent rally stalled as investors weighed taking profits amid mixed economic reports. Retail sales unexpectedly advanced by +0.1% in April and, excluding autos and gasoline, sales increased the most since December 2012. On the downside, business inventories were unchanged for the second consecutive month in March and sales fell by the most in nine months. Meanwhile in Asia, China's fixed-asset investment surprisingly decelerated last month while industrial production trailed estimates.

Overall, sector action was mixed. Materials and Telecommunication were worst performing groups as Peabody Energy Corp (BTU -4.14%) and Sprint Nextel Corp (S -2.45%) pulled back. Energy stocks also fell as crude oil declined for a third day after OPEC boosted its output to the highest level in five months. A rally in Health Care helped limit losses led by Biogen Idec Inc (BIIB +4.46%) and Gilead Sciences Inc (GILD +3.01%). Financials also gained ground as JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.45%) and BlackRock, Inc(BLK +0.98%) rose.

In fixed-income, Treasuries extended last week's retreat. The 10-year note was down 6/32 to yield 1.92% and the 30-year bond lost over half of a point to yield 3.13%. 

The market (M criteria) saw an expansion in leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) that reassured investors a confirmed uptrend is at hand. Watch for new stocks featured in the CANSLIM.net Mid-Day BreakOuts Report. Action-worthy leaders are covered on an ongoing basis with the latest notes and additional resource links included on the Featured Stocks Page.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has rallied to 12-year highs with a spurt of 7 gains in the span of 8 sessions. The indices' rally to new highs confirmed the market's uptrend which means odds are favorable for new buying efforts in stocks meeting all of the fact-based investment system's key criteria.

Financial Groups' Positive Bias Underpinned Market

Financial shares had a positive bias on Monday as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.06%) outpaced the Bank Index ($BKX +0.44%).  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.50%) was a standout laggard with a large loss.  The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.40%) led the tech sector higher while Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.00%) ended lower, and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.04%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +0.05%) each finished virtually unchanged. There was little change for the Retail Index ($RLX +0.15%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.11%).  Energy-related share also showed very little conviction as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.13%) inched higher while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.25%) edged lower.

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.06%) is rallying toward its 2011 high (130.38) with a streak of 7 gains in the span of 8 sessions.

Extended From Base After Tallying +57% Gain in 6-Months

Celgene Corp (CELG  +$2.20 or +1.73% to $129.66) rallied to another new high close with its 2nd consecutive big gain with volume slightly above average, getting more extended from any sound base pattern. It found support near its short-term average as it endured some distributional pressure recently. The recent low ($114.05 on 5/02/13) defines important chart support just below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line where subsequent violations may trigger technical sell signals.

It rallied to new highs following its last appearance in this FSU section on 4/19/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near All-Time High After Recent Gains Lacked Great Volume", eventually distancing itself from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base noted earlier. It has traded up as much as +57.6% since it was highlighted in yellow long ago in the 12/11/12 Mid-day BreakOuts Report.  While it may go on to produce more climactic gains, keep in mind that after its considerable rally in prior months, its latest rally came from what was considered to be a riskier "late-stage" base. CELG has maintained a strong earnings history (C and A criteria), and it recently reported earnings +27% on +15% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 1,804 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd.

Y - Tallying a considerable volume-driven gain today, but remaining below its pivot point. Previously cautioned - "Volume-driven gains above the new pivot point are needed to trigger a new technical buy signal. Still basing, with near-term resistance due to overhead supply up through the $16 level. Found encouraging support at its 50 DMA line and flashed above average volume behind recent gains while building on a new base."

Y - Finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) while consolidating following a considerable "breakaway gap" on 5/08/13. Its pivot point is based on its 2/20/13 high plus 10 cents. A breakaway gap is one noted exception where investors may chase a stock more than +5% above its pivot point. Reported earnings +34% on +21% sales revenues for the March '13 quarter, continuing its streak of strong earnings. Found support near its 50 DMA line and well above its 200 DMA line recently, proving resilient since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 4/02/13.
