The gains may seem encouraging, however, the market remains in a correction (M criteria). New buying efforts should be avoided until a solid follow-through day shows more decisive strength returning. Lower volume on the NYSE than on the prior session suggests that Thursday's solid gains shown by the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index were not the result of increasing institutional buying demand. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite's big gain with higher volume marked only Day 2 for its new rally attempt since the low close that occurred on 5/22/22. Arguably, the rally still needs confirmation and an opportunity for a valid follow-through day remains open unless the recent lows or May 20th lows are violated.

Major Indices Posted Gains Not Signaling a Solid Confirmation
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 516 points, climbing for a fifth consecutive day for the first time since mid-March. The S&P 500 rallied 2%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 2.7%, with both benchmarks heading for their first weekly gain in eight weeks. Volume totals reported were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by an 8-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 46 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, doubling the 23 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals still outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a repeatedly noted market correction (M criteria). Followers of the fact-based investment system know to watch for a follow-through day on Day 4-7 of a new rally attempt which could signal a new confirmed uptrend.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has seen volume totals cooling while sputtering near its 2022 low.

U.S. stocks staged a broad rally on Thursday as strong retail earnings buoyed sentiment. While contrarian buy signals and depressed sentiment and positioning continued to be cited as supporting risk appetite, month-end rebalancing may also have contributed to the bounce. Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note down one basis point (0.01%) to 2.75%.
Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, with Consumer Discretionary outperforming amid strength in retailers. Macy’s Inc. (M +19.31%) rose following a boost to its full-year outlook, while Williams-Sonoma Inc. (WSM +13.06%) rose after reiterating its guidance despite worries surrounding waning demand for big-ticket items. Meanwhile, Dollar General Corp. (DG +13.71%) and Dollar Tree Inc. (DLTR +21.87%) both surged on upbeat results, with the latter highlighting positive customer response to their higher $1.25 price point. In Consumer Staples, Kraft Heinz Co. (KHC -7.05%) fell after being the subject of an analyst downgrade.
On the data front, a second reading of first-quarter U.S. GDP (Gross Domestic Product) was downwardly revised to indicate the economy contracted at a 1.5% annualized pace. Separately, weekly initial jobless claims came in at 210,000. Another release revealed pending home sales fell for a sixth straight month, the worst streak since 2018. Elsewhere, 30-year fixed mortgage rates dropped by the biggest margin in more than two years, declining to 5.10% in the latest week from 5.25%.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +4.46%) posted an influential gain while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.66%) and Bank Index ($BKX +2.42%) rebounded and also helped to boost the major averages.

Y - Posted a 5th consecutive small gain today with near average volume, consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($254) and challenging its all-time high. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.
