Major Indices Rose With Less Volume Conviction

The S&P 500 Index rose 1.5%, on course for its best quarter since 1998. The Dow climbed 580 points, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.2%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of lackluster institutional buying demand. There were 26 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices have seen their uptrend come under recent pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it will be important to see the new highs totals stabilize and improve.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended -13.4% off its record high. It has found support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.  More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and could prompt investors to reduce market exposure and raise cash. 

Stocks U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday, kicking off the holiday-shortened week on a positive note. Improving economic data and ongoing stimulus efforts seemed to overshadow worries surrounding a spike in new COVID-19 cases in several pockets of the U.S. Over the weekend, total worldwide infections topped 10 million, while several American states rolled back reopening measures.

Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the 10-year note steady at 0.64%. On the data front, pending homes sales jumped a record 44.3% in May, rebounding from a 21.8% decline the prior month. Separately, an update from the Dallas Fed revealed manufacturing activity improved more than anticipated in June. Overseas, Chinese industrial profits advanced for the first time in six months in May. In commodities, WTI crude rose 1% to $39.52/barrel.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with Industrials pacing gains. Boeing (BA +14.40%) rose after aviation regulators approved the beleaguered 737-MAX jet for key test flights. Meanwhile, Southwest Airlines (LUV +9.64%) rose after being the subject of a Wall Street analyst upgrade. Health Care and Financials lagged on a relative basis. In other corporate news, shares of BP (BP +3.16%) rose following an announcement that the Energy giant would sell its petrochemicals line of business to private British company Ineos Ltd. for $5 billion. Elsewhere, Facebook was (FB +2.11%) rose despite more companies pausing advertising on the social media platform.

50-Day Moving Average Defines Important Near-Term Support

Atlassian Corp (TEAM -$5.88 or -3.25% to $175.13is consolidating above important support defined by its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($172.39). The next important near-term support is the prior low ($163.72 on 6/05/20).

TEAM has a 98 Earnings Per Share rating, but fundamental concerns were raised after it recently reported earnings +19% on +33% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter, breaking a strong track record of +25% earnings increases (C criteria). This Australia - based software developer had shown 9 consecutive quarterly comparisons above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong since its $21 IPO on 12/10/15.

TEAM finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 2/19/20 high plus 10 cents in the 5/04/20 mid-day report (read here). It hit a new all-time high with a big gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by +61% above average volume clinching a convincing technical buy signal.

TEAM was last shown in the FSU section on 6/05/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Positive Reversal Near Prior High and 50 DMA Line". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 266 in Sep '17 to 734 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of A. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation or distribution over the past 50 days.
