Major Indices Notch Additional Gains Amid Reopening Optimism

The Dow advanced 267 points, while the S&P 500 rose 0.8%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 48 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 47 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria)Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so the recent improvement in new highs totals was noted as an encouraging sign.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index made additional progress since rising above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and finished -9.2% off its record high hit on 2/19/20.

Stock finished higher Tuesday as investors focused their attention on economic reopenings. Adding to positive sentiment were talks of additional fiscal stimulus in Europe and the United States. Reports indicated the White House could meet as soon as this week to discuss proposals for the next wave of coronavirus stimulus. However, several headwinds lingered throughout the day, including increasing social unrest across the nation, U.S.-China geopolitical tensions, and worries surrounding a spike in COVID-19 infections.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note increasing by two basis point to 0.68%. Other perceived safe haven assets also declined, with COMEX gold losing 0.6% and the U.S. dollar falling for the fourth straight day. In commodities, WTI crude rallied 4.1% to $36.89/barrel on reports that OPEC and its allies are nearing a deal to extend production cuts through September.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in positive territory, with the more value and cyclical oriented stocks outperforming. The Energy group paced gains, while the Materials and Industrials sectors both advanced more than 1.0%. In earnings, Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS +3.68%) rose as a more than 100% spike in e-commerce sales and a solid start to the second-quarter overshadowed a larger-than-anticipated first-quarter loss.

Godaddy Could Be Ready to Go for New Highs

Godaddy Inc Cl A (GDDY +$2.36 or +3.03% to $80.32) was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 5/01/19 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Disciplined investors know to watch for proof of fresh institutional buying demand that can lead to a sustained rally and meaningful leg up. It rebounded impressively after a deep pullback undercut prior lows. Now it is approaching multi-year highs where it previously met stubborn resistance in the $82-84 area.

The Computer Software-Enterprise industry group has a 99 Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). The firm's past 3 quarterly earnings comparisons through Mar '20 versus the year ago periods were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). After years of losses, since FY 17 its annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong. It the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share rating.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares reportedly fell from 947 in Dec '19 to 928 in Mar '20, however, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.  It has an A Timelines Rating and a B- Accumulation/Distribution Rating.

Color code was changed to yellow after forming an advanced "3 weeks tight" base pattern with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/12/20 high plus 10 cents.

Y - Managed a "positive reversal" on 5/27/20 but volume totals have been very light behind recent gains. Found prompt support near its 50 DMA line ($410.72), and more damaging losses would trigger a technical sell signal. A rebound and subsequent gains above the pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

Finished strong on the prior session after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 2/20/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here).

PING reported strong earnings results well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in the 4 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 versus the year ago periods.
