Indices Rose With Greater Leadership and Higher Volume Totals

The S&P 500 climbed 1.5%, capping its strongest quarterly performance since 1998 with a 20% gain. The Dow rose 217 points, closing out its best quarter since 1987 with a 17.8% advance. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.9%, ending the April-June period up 30.6%. For the month, the Dow added 1.7%, the S&P 500 rose 1.8%, and the Nasdaq Composite rallied 6%. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 9-5 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of increasing institutional buying demand. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are still in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains important to see the new highs totals stabilize and improve.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is -1.6% off its record high. It has found support near its February high.

Investors continued to monitor a sharp uptick in coronavirus cases in several pockets of the U.S., while U.S.-China tensions remained a focus after Beijing unanimously approved its controversial national security legislation on Hong Kong.

Treasuries declined slightly, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.65%. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 0.7% to $39.43/barrel but still saw its best quarter since 1990, bouncing back from its worst such period in history. Meanwhile, COMEX gold rose 1% to $1798.10/ounce, capping its strongest quarter since 2016.

Pulled Back Below "Max Buy" Level With Loss on Average Volume

Neurocrine Biosciences (NBIX -$3.50 or -2.79% to $122.00) pulled back today with average volume, retreating from its all-time high. Its color code was changed to yellow after pulling back below its "max buy" level. Prior highs in the $119 area define important near-term support to watch above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($114.87). Fundamentals remain strong.

NBIX was last shown in this FSU section on 6/08/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pullback Into Prior Base Negated Recent Breakout". It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/04/20 high plus 10 cents in the 5/19/20 mid-day report (read here). Technically, it broke out for a new 52-week high  (N criteria) on the 5/18/20 with +101% above average volume behind a big gain after a gap up. 

It reported earnings +545%, +200%, +163%, and +183% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '19 and Mar '20 quarters, well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) versus the year ago periods, respectively. It showed greatly improved sales revenues up +89%, +46%, +86%, and +71% during that same span of quarterly comparisons. After years of losses it reported strong annual earnings (A criteria) results in FY '18 and '19.

There are 92.8 million shares outstanding (S criteria).  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 651 in Jun '19 to 915 in Mar '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has an A Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship Rating. It hails from the strong Medical - Biomed/Biotech industry which is currently rated 8th of the 197 industry groups listed in the newspaper (L criteria). In late April it received approval from the FDA for ONGENTYS, a new medication  (N criteria) to help patients with Parkinson's disease better manage motor fluctuations.
