Breadth Positive as Major Indices Continue Record Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
There were unanimous gains on Friday for the S&P 500 (+0.6%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.6%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.6%), and Russell 2000 (+1.1%). Volume was lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 102 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 102 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index posted its 11th gain in the span of 13 sessions.
There was a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index for June and upward revisions to the numbers in May. Total PPI was up 0.2% versus an expected 0.1% increase and Core PPI was up 0.4% versus an expected 0.1% increase. The 10-yr yield settled unchanged at 4.19% and the 2-yr note yield settled down five basis points to 4.46%.
Bank stocks were weaker despite beating earnings estimates after quarterly results from JPMorgan Chase (JPM -1.21%), Citigroup (C -1.81%), and Wells Fargo (WFC -6.02%). The S&P 500 financial sector eked out a 0.2% gain but was near the bottom of the 11 sectors. The consumer discretionary (+1.0%) and information technology (+0.9%) sectors were among the top performers.

Challenging Prior Resistance Area
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
e.l.f. Beauty (ELF +$1.98 or +0.95% to $210.90) posted a small gain today while churning higher volume as it erased much of its early gain and ended near the session low. It has met stubborn resistance in the $219-221 area in recent months. Its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/04/24 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($186) defines important near-term support to watch.
ELF was highlighted in yellow in the 5/24/24 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited based on its 4/29/24 high after breaking out a "double-bottom" base. It was last shown in detail in the 6/20/24 report with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Within Striking Distance of All-Time High". It currently has a 98 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Mar '24 quarterly earnings +26% on +71% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, adding to its streak of very strong quarterly results above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history over the past 3 years has been strong, making it a better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 510 in Mar '23 to 858 in Jun '24, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It currently has a Timeliness Rating of C and a Sponsorship Rating of D. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 55.9 million shares outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - Hitting a new all-time high with today's 3rd consecutive gain backed by ever-increasing volume. Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($353). Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/15/24 high plus 10 cents as it was noted - "Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal."

Y - Stalled this week after hitting a new all-time high with gains lacking great volume conviction. A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.24).

G - Posted a 4th consecutive gain as it rebounded to its 50 DMA line helping its outlook to improve, but it still faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $164 level. Its 200 DMA line ($128) defines important near-term support. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
