Tuesday Recap

Markets were strong for a second day in a row Tuesday. For a second straight day however volume was weak, softening the move. Of course as the summer months approach volume traditionally tails off. Once again the Nasdaq outperformed the S&P 500, with a 1.5% gain. Leading stocks outperformed the market, which is a good sign of a healthy market. WPI and LULU rose 4% Tuesday. FOSL 3%. HOC, COG 7 and 5% respectively. Some even broke out today, a rare recent occurrence. FAST broke out of a 34.48 cup base buy point. SBUX broke out of a 38.31 flat base buy point. SAPE took out a 15.05 flat base buy point. NTGR steamed ahead of a 43.77 flat base buy point as well. NKE surged 10% on a solid earnings report, and surely some short covering as well. AAPL after reclaiming its 200 day MA Monday is sniffing out its 50 day MA right here. Former leader OPEN reclaimed its 200 day today too, gaining 5%. Strong sectors today included energy and the semis. SMH reclaimed its 200 day MA, with leader AVGO rising 4% in the group. XLE found solid 200 day support Monday and rallied 3% today.
