Breadth Positive As Indices Rise

The major averages rallied after two favorable economic reports were released. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchanges versus the prior session. Advancers led decliners by almost a 3-to-1 ratio and the NYSE and by a 2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were 35 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 27 issues that appeared on the prior session.

Stocks closed higher after the ADP said private employers added more jobs than expected last month and the ISM's service index topped estimates. ADP Employer Services, the country's largest private payrolls report, showed companies in the US added 42,000 employees to payrolls in July, topping the Street's forecast of 30,000 increase. This report bodes well for Friday's non farm payrolls report.

Elsewhere, the Institute for Supply Management’s index of non-manufacturing businesses, which covers over +85% of the economy, rose to 54.3 from 53.8 in June. Analysts were looking for a decline to 53. It is also important to note that any reading above 50 signals expansion.

At this point, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NYSE Composite Index have traded above resistance at their long term 200-day moving average (DMA) lines and recent chart highs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, benchmark S&P 500, and small-cap Russell 2000 index remain slightly below their recent chart highs. However, the fact that all of the major averages are trading above their respective 2-month downward trendlines bodes well for this five week rally. In order for a new leg higher to begin, all the major averages must close and remain above their respective resistance levels. Remember that the window remains open for for high-ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is above its 50 and 200 DMA lines and has been approaching near-term resistance at its June highs. However, the daily volume totals have been mostly below average since the latest confirmed rally began.




Healthcare Group's Winning Streak Has It In Healthier Shape

Gains for the Retail Index ($RLX +2.16%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.90%) helped underpin the major averages' rally while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.24%) paused.  The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +2.54%) and the Internet Index ($IIX +2.22%) led the tech sector's gainers while the Networking Index ($NWX +0.54%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.99%) posted smaller gains. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.15%) posted a solid gain and energy-related shares had a slightly positive bias as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.66%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.46%) rose.

PICTURED: The Healthcare Index ($HMO +2.40%) is rallying from below its 50 and 200 DMA lines toward prior highs with a streak of 5 consecutive gains.

Strong Leader May Be Dangerous To Chase While Extended

F5 Networks Inc. (FFIV +$1.23 or +1.39% to $89.82) finished at a new high close after a gain today with light volume. Patient investors might wait for a secondary buy point to develop, and disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks extended more than +5% above prior chart highs.  It has been recently noted - "Extended from any sound base after recent volume-driven gains, it could go on to produce more climactic gains."

In its last FSU section appearance on 7/07/10 an annotated graph was included under the headline "Gain Today For New High Close Bodes Well" and further described the action as it - "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." 

The company currently sports a very healthy Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating of 98 and a Relative Strength (RS) rating of 97.  It resides in the Internet- Networking Solutions group which is an Industry Group showing lots of leadership, satisfying the "L" criteria. Its quarterly sales and earnings results showed impressive acceleration in the Dec '09, Mar and Jun '10 periods satisfying the C criteria. 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.
