Leadership Expands As Major Averages Make More Important Progress

The major averages ended higher on Monday after FedEx Corp (FDX +5.61%) reported solid results and raised its 2010 outlook, meanwhile a positive report from the troubled housing sector was released. Volume, an important indicator of institutional sponsorship, was reported lower than Friday's totals on the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. Advancers trumped decliners by a 4-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and a 3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange and new 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both major exchanges. There were 64 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, higher from the 39 issues that appeared on the prior session.  The sign of expanding leadership bodes well for the current confirmed rally.

 

Before Monday's open, FedEx raised their 2010 outlook and said earnings soared +108% while sales grew by +20% last quarter. The second largest package-delivery company's shares gapped up on monstrous trade as investors welcomed the positive news. Normally, transportation stocks are a good proxy for general economic activity. Therefore, the fact that earnings soared last quarter bodes well for the ongoing global recovery. Elsewhere, the Commerce Department said new home sales topped estimates and rose in June, following an unprecedented decline in the previous month. New home sales rose by +24% from May to an annual pace of 330,000. The market has rebounded nicely over the past few weeks after investor sentiment fell to the lowest level since July 2009. The American Association of Individual Investors' ratio of bullish to bearish respondents fell to 0.68 (four week average) which normally corresponds with counter trend rallies. The converse is also true, market's tend to pullback when the survey becomes too bullish.

It was encouraging to see the major averages continue rallying after breaking above their their respective 2-month downward trendlines and their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines on Friday. It was also healthy to see the benchmark S&P 500 close above its 200 DMA line which is another healthy sign. At this point, the window remains open for for high ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. If you are interested in learning more, feel free to contact us for a full list of high ranked candidates. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished above its June high close.  Recent gains have come with lackluster volume, but the progress being made above the 50 and 200 DMA lines is still an encouraging sign.




Biotechnology Index Rallying Above 50-Day Average

Financial shares were among Monday's important influences as the Bank Index ($BKX +2.61%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.28%) posted solid gains.  The Retail Index ($RLX +1.84%) and broad strength in tech sector also underpinned the rally's gains as the Networking Index ($NWX +2.01%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.36%) outpaced the Internet Index ($IIX +0.65%). The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.21%) was also among the session's strongest gainers, and gains in energy-related shares boosted the Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.11%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.55%).  Meanwhile, the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.92%) was clearly a laggard as it ended with a loss.

PICTURED: The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +3.16%) was a standout gainer as it posted a solid gain and rallied above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Prior Session's Light Volume Breakout Promptly Negated

Considerable gains above a prior chart high with heavy volume are a very important part of a solid technical buy signal under the fact-based investment system's guidelines. Keep in mind that if a stock is going to rally substantially, its price/volume chart usually will show a powerful move into new high territory, clearing old resistance levels with great conviction that clearly suggests it is under heavy accumulation from the institutional crowd.

Vanceinfo Tech Inc Ads (VIT -$1.26 or -4.60% to $26.14) suffered a large loss today. That loss erased all of the prior session's gain for a new 52-week high with volume near average, not sufficient (+50% above average volume or greater is required) to trigger a proper technical buy signal. In fact, VIT did not yet trigger a technical buy signal with respect to the pivot point cited when it made its last appearance in this FSU section on 7/08/10 under the headline "Gap Up Gain Worth Noting As Sign Of Accumulation".  When it met the 7/08/10 mid-day report screen parameters and was highlighted in yellow (read here) we observed that it also drew some headlines in the newspaper. Our analysis stated - "Some may consider it a 'cup-with-handle' or a 'double bottom' pattern with a sightly lower pivot point, however the new pivot point now being cited is based upon its 4/26/10 all-time high (which it matched earlier today to the penny) plus ten cents. A powerful breakout to a new high would be a very reassuring technical buy signal, meanwhile one may consider it a high-ranked leader that is currently challenging a previous resistance level where heavy distributional pressure was encountered not long ago.  Volume should be +50% above average or greater with a gain above its pivot point to confirm any technical buy signal."

This China-based Computer - Tech Services firm found impressive support near its 200 DMA line in May-June. Since then its weekly chart remains marked by several big down weeks with above average volume and not a single up week marked by substantially above average volume since April.  Based on weak action it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 5/19/10.
