Tech Bounce Helped Nasdaq Composite Lead Major Indices

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 0.8% and 2.0%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Dow fell 23 points, paring its outperformance against the Nasdaq for the week to 4.7%. The small-cap Russell 2000 snapped a two-day winning streak, slipping 0.3%. The reported volume totals were lighter than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 on the prior session. The new 52-week highs totals outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index recently hit a new record high.

U.S. equities finished mixed on Wednesday, as Technology-related stocks rebounded. Investors backed off a recent rotation into value- and cyclical-oriented companies, which was inspired by promising coronavirus vaccine data earlier in the week. 

Sentiment continued to be bolstered by optimism surrounding a COVID-19 vaccine, but worsening virus trends remained in the peripheral. The U.S. saw a record number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients on Tuesday and logged more than 1 million new cases in the first 10 days of November. Economic data releases were subdued on Wednesday, with U.S. bond markets closed for Veterans Day. The lone update showed MBA mortgage applications slipped 0.5% in the most recent week. In commodities, WTI crude added 0.4% to $41.54/barrel, near its highest level in nearly 10 weeks. Gold lost 0.8% to $1862.40/ounce amid a stronger dollar.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory. Technology-related stocks paced the gains, with the oft-cited FANNG group rising 2%. The Materials groups led decliners with Air Products and Chemicals (APD -9.40%) falling after its recently quarterly report disappointed Wall Street’s expectations. Other lagging groups included Energy, Industrials, and Financials. In other corporate news, Yelp (YELP +0.66%) inched higher after the user review website was the subject of an analyst upgrade.

Retail and Tech Indexes Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX +2.00%) posted an influential gain while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.33%) inched higher but the Bank Index ($BKX -1.68%) lost ground. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +3.68%) and Networking Index ($NWX +1.50%) both outpaced the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.66%).  Commodity-linked groups had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.72%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.72%),, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.04%) suffered unanimous losses

Recent Gains for New Highs Lacked Great Volume Conviction

Teradyne Inc (TER +$3.03 or +3.09% to $101.18) posted a gain today with below average volume for its second best ever close and its color code was changed to green after rising back above its "max buy" level.  TER was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 8/14/20 high plus 10 cents in the 10/21/20 mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point lacked the necessary +40% above average volume needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/21/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Challenging All-Time High With Volume-Driven Gain". 

Recently it reported earnings +53% on +41% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison with earnings above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Sequential comparisons show encouraging acceleration in its sales revenues growth rate. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.

The high-ranked ELECTRONICS - Semiconductor Equipment firm has 166 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 1,149 in Dec '19 to 1,425 in Sep '20, a 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

G - After a "negative reversal" at a new new all-time high it pulled back and tested support at an upward trendline and its 50 DMA line ($228) which again acted as support.

Reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +38% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria).

On 11/06 and 11/09 prior notes repeatedly cautioned members - "It has not formed a sound base pattern. Subsequent losses and deterioration below the recent low would raise greater concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal. Faces near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $94 level."
