Indices Post Solid Gains Confirming Renewed Rally Effort

Stocks scored a follow-through day (FTD) on the fourth day of their latest rally attempt as volume, a critical component of institutional sponsorship, topped Tuesday's levels while advancers trumped decliners by more than a 3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange and by nearly a 6-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. However, there were only 7 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 8 issues that appeared on the prior session. Meanwhile, new 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq and on the NYSE. It will be critically important for leadership to expand if the new rally effort will prove to be a sustained market advance. If not, Wednesday's strong move may turn out to be the latest in a string of failed rallies confirmed with follow-through days.


Rovi Corp (ROVI +$1.89 or +4.79% to $41.31) posted a solid gain with volume +67% above average as it cleared its latest pivot point.  The high-ranked Computer Software firm was among a thin field of high-ranked leaders reaching a new 52-week high. It first appeared as a Featured Stock highlighted in yellow in the mid-day report on 2/25/10 at $33.45, and it stayed well above its 200-day moving average (DMA) during its latest consolidation.

Further clarifying the day count as we see it, last Thursday, July 1, all of the major averages marked Day 1 of a new rally attempt. Although they closed that session with losses, strong finishes in the upper part of their intra-day ranges suggested that support was being found which, arguably, satisfied the essence of a new rally attempt. Since then, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and small-cap Russell 2000 index both undercut Thursday's lows which reset the day count for each, however, they both rallied on Tuesday which marked Day 1 for those two indexes. Meanwhile, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite and the benchmark S&P 500 Index avoided undercutting Thursday's lows, so Wednesday's session marked Day 4 and opened the window for a new FTD to emerge. Remember that there are three important characteristics that must occur in order for a sound FTD to emerge: One or more of the major averages must rally at least +1.7% (anytime after Day 3 of a new rally attempt), volume on the exchange(s) must be higher than the prior session, and a new batch of high-ranked leaders must hit new 52-week highs and trigger fresh technical buy signals.

Elsewhere, the US dollar continued its 3-week slide which sent a slew of dollar denominated assets higher (mainly stocks and commodities). In addition,  growth in US retail sales sparked optimism that earnings season will top weak estimates. Investors also believe that most European banks will pass their stress tests which has weighed on the market's psyche in recent months. The International Council of Shopping Centers released a report which showed that sales were growing at the fastest pace since 2006 which helped allay concerns that the slump in consumer confidence will threaten the economic recovery.

Looking forward, the window is now open for disciplined investors to begin carefully buying high-ranked stocks again. The major indices' 200-day moving average (DMA) lines may act as near term resistance. Remember to remain very selective because all of the major averages are still trading below their downward sloping 50 and 200 DMA lines.  It was also somewhat disconcerting to see volume remain light (below average) behind the confirming gains. It is important to note that approximately 75% of FTDs lead to new sustained rallies, while 25% fail. In addition, every major rally in market history has begun with a FTD, but not every FTD leads to a new rally. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The benchmark S&P 500 Index rallied for a solid gain to close back above the previously noted 1,040 level which had served as formidable support for most of the year.




Bank Index Among Session's Leading Group Gainers

The Bank Index ($BKX +5.63%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.37%) provided a great deal of the positive influence underpinning gains for the major averages on Wednesday. The tech sector was led higher by big gains from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +5.05%), Networking Index ($NWX +4.46%), and Internet Index ($IIX +4.06%) while the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +1.00%) followed with a smaller gain. Energy shares posted gains that helped the Oil Services Index ($OSX +4.59%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +3.61%) spurt higher.  The Retail Index ($RLX +2.44%) tallied a solid gain while defensive areas produced smaller gains as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.53%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.80%) also were on the rise.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +5.63%) was a standout gainer while Wednesday's session was widely positive. Its considerable gain helped it close just above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.  However, its worrisome downward trend since April is still marked by a series of lower highs and lower lows.  Subsequent gains above its June high and 50 DMA line would be a very reassuring sign to watch for from this groups that has proven to be a very important leading indicator for the overall market.

Gain Today For New High Close Bodes Well

F5 Networks Inc. (FFIV +$4.98 or +7.10% to $75.12) posted a considerable gain today with +28% above average volume that helped it rally above its previously cited pivot point for a new high close. Its color code was changed to yellow based on its recent resilience. It is now clear of virtually all resistance due to overhead supply, and the path of least resistance is more likely to lead it even higher. Disciplined investors may watch for a more powerful gain backed by heavier volume as a reassurance confirming a proper technical buy signal. Meanwhile, its recent chart low ($66.79 on 7/01/10) defines a near-term support level to watch.

Its last FSU section appearance on 6/16/10 under the headline "Volume Barely Met Guideline Behind Breakout Gain" provided detailed analysis and an annotated graph after it appeared featured in yellow in that day's mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based upon its 5/13/10 high plus ten cents. 

The company currently sports a very healthy Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating of 97 and a Relative Strength (RS) rating of 96.  It resides in the Internet- Networking Solutions group which is an Industry Group showing lots of leadership, satisfying the "L" criteria. In recent months FFIV made a number of appearances in the mid-day report as its quarterly sales and earnings results showed impressive acceleration in the Mar '10 and Dec '09 periods, but it was also noted that it had not formed an ideal base pattern and patience was needed. The company has maintained a good annual earnings (A criteria) history. This stock was first featured in the January 2004 edition of CANSLIM.net News (read here) with a $26.85 pivot point. During the past 6 years, FFIV has built several bases, and it has also been through some tough consolidation periods.

It has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history and its recent quarterly earnings and sales revenues increases have shown acceleration. A gain above its pivot point with heavy volume still needed to confirm a proper new technical buy signal."
