The major averages climbed throughout the session as concerns over the debt limit eased. Republican lawmakers announced an offer for a short-term increase to the debt limit in exchange for structured talks aimed at longer-term solutions.

All 10 sectors on the S&P ended higher, led by gains in financial stocks including Bank of America Corp (BAC +2.82%). On the earnings front, Safeway Inc (SWY +2.50%) rose following their quarterly report. On the downside, Ruby Tuesday Inc (RT -17.09%) fell after the company reported a wider-than-expected loss. In other news, luxury retailer Tiffany & Co. (TIF +1.99%) rose as the stock received an analyst's upgrade.  In other news, Blackberry Ltd (BBRY +1.11%) rose on news that co-founder Mike Lazaridis increased his stake in the company.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were mixed along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 3/16 of a point to yield 2.69% and the 30-year bond gained 3/32 to yield 3.74%.

The market (M criteria) remains in a "correction" based on the latest technical damage. Confirming follow-through gains are still needed for disciplined fact-based investors to change their stance back toward a buying mode.  Individual holdings should be closely monitored for any worrisome technical sell signals. This is precisely how the fact-based system helps investors avoid serious setbacks and raise cash levels during market downdrafts. Historic studies suggest that no new buying efforts should be made during market corrections.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line on Day 2 of a new rally attempt.

PICTURED: The Internet Index ($IIX +2.61%) rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc (VRX +$2.97 or +2.77% to $110.00) posted a gain on lighter volume today. On the prior session it managed a "positive reversal" after testing prior highs defining important support in the $105 area. It was last shown in this FSU section on 9/11/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Insider Buying While Forming New 'Late Stage' Base". A new pivot point was cited based on its 8/14/13 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point lacked great volume until it was already getting extended from the risker "late-stage" base, then it endured mild distributional pressure. Deterioration into the prior base would raise more serious concerns, and disciplined investors always should follow strict selling rules.

Recent insider buying (indicated by circles with plus signs above) while trading near its highs has been noted as an encouraging sign. It reported earnings +33% on +34% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Concerns had been raised by its Mar '13 earnings report with only a +14% earnings increase, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) for buy candidates. A downturn in FY '07 and '08 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by a strong earnings rebound in recent years.  Return On Equity is currently reported at 37%, well above the 17% minimum guideline of the fact-based system.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 818 in Mar '12 in to 1,063 in Jun '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

The high-ranked Medical - Ethical Drugs firm's shares spiked higher in late May at around the time of M&A news that it would buy Bausch & Lomb for $8.7 billion. That move and other recent acquisitions resulted in stronger earnings in the latest quarterly comparison.

It completed Public Offering on 6/18/13. The upshot of Public Offerings is that when completed the end result is typically an increase in the total number of institutional owners. Institutional owners are often supportive of their existing positions and will even accumulate more shares when they consolidate near classic support levels like the 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, if they are still believers in the company. If too many become pessimistic and decide to unload, this is what ends up sending the stocks slicing through support. 

Prior reports noted - "Investors are taught in the Certification to only buy stocks with a combination of both strong fundamentals and strong technical action, however stocks should be sold based on their technical action only. In this example, more bullish action rewarded patient investors still giving it the benefit of the doubt until any technical sell signals start adding up."
