Financials and health care led the sectors in the S&P 500, while materials and energy lagged behind. In Asia, markets mostly rose overnight, with Japan's Nikkei surging nearly 2% to another all-time high. Meanwhile, the NFIB Small Business Index marked its highest reading of the year but remaining below the 30-year average for the 30th consecutive month, indicating cautious small-business optimism. Fed Chair Jerome Powell testified before the Senate Banking Committee, reiterating that the Fed requires more favorable inflation data before considering rate cuts. Bond yields saw a modest increase, with the 10-year Treasury yield edging up 0.02 percentage points to 4.29%. Market focus remains on inflation's impact on monetary policy this week, with Thursday's release of the consumer price index (CPI) for June. Expectations are for a 0.1% monthly increase in headline CPI and a year-over-year rise of 3.1%, while core CPI is forecasted to rise 0.2% month-over-month and remain steady at 3.4% year-over-year. Following a volatile start to the year with higher-than-expected inflation, recent months have shown a downward trend, with May's core CPI at its lowest since April 2021. With inflation moderating and recent labor market data suggesting easing conditions, markets are now pricing in two Fed rate cuts in 2024, with the first expected in September. However, this expectation is reasonable but uncertain, pending further inflation moderation in the coming months.

Trust your planned exit strategy and never punish yourself for selling "too early." There's always another trade around the corner. ************************** THE TECHNICAL ANALYST ************************** This section contains important technical data for the three major market averages -- the S&P 500, the Nasdaq Comp Index, and the Dow Industrial Average.

The short answer - it is valid for two weeks after we introduce it in the RightLine Report. Also, if the stock gaps through the entry level overnight, always use the Gap-Open tactic to set a new entry point. This new, gap-adjusted entry is valid for the same two-week period.

A look at RGS's daily chart shows what a price squeeze is all about. The constricted high-low daily trading range has produced a setup similar to a tightly coiled spring. Expect price to move sharply soon, with the direction yet to be determined. Let the upcoming market action resolve whether you will buy shares or sell short. To capture a move either way, place a BUY trigger at 22.8 and a SELL short trigger at 20.47. Once RGS shows which way it's headed, place your triggered entry order. As soon as your order is filled, follow with a trailing stop of 2.33 and tighten to 1.17 on a 0.88 gain. RGS closed Tuesday at 21.53. Earnings Report Date: Aug 21, 2024. Beta: 2.50. Market-Cap: 49.087M. Optionable. HEALTHCARE SECTOR Contineum Therapeutics, Inc. (CTNM: Healthcare/Biotechnology) - BULLISH BOUNCE. CTNM has charted an upward weekly trend until recently when sellers showed up to push prices lower. On Tuesday the selling ran into solid support. A potential bounce up from this level should attract buyers and likely return CTNM to the previously established uptrend. The Bullish Bounce set-up is the basis for our BUY entry, so be ready to go long on a rise to our trigger at 21.28. Set a trailing stop of 1.54, tightening to 0.77 on a 3.4 profit. CTNM closed at 20.63 on Tuesday. Earnings Report Date: N/A. Beta: --. Market-Cap: 530.672M. Optionable. Dianthus Therapeutics, Inc. (DNTH: Healthcare/Biotechnology) - SQUEEZE PLAY. When a stock's daily price range contracts to an unusually low point, you can safely assume that in most cases a breakout from that range will result in a nice price move. To capture a portion of this potential movement we have set both a long and a short entry into DNTH. A move to the upside will trigger our BUY entry at 29.3, while a drop to 27.29 will trigger our SELL short entry. Follow your position with a 2.01 trailing stop. Tighten the stop to 1.01 once you have a 3.78 gain. DNTH closed Tuesday at 28.61. Earnings Report Date: Aug 1, 2024. Beta: --. Market-Cap: 839.689M. Optionable. INDUSTRIALS SECTOR The Eastern Company (EML: Industrials/Tools & Accessories) - SQUEEZE PLAY. Tuesday's trading action forced EML's daily price range into an abnormally narrow state. This translates into opportunity; for the cyclical nature of price volatility is to shrink extensively, then swell rapidly as shares move in one direction or another. Instead of trying to predict the direction EML will take when price volatility begins to increase, we'll set both a BUY (long) and a SELL (short) trigger to get us into the right trade. Be ready to BUY shares at 27.23 if EML moves higher, and place your order to SELL short at 25.25 if price declines to that level. As usual follow your entry with a trailing stop, 1.98 should be sufficient. Reduce your stop to 0.99 on a 1.92 gain. EML closed Tuesday at 26.04. Earnings Report Date: Aug 6, 2024. Beta: 1.03. Market-Cap: 162.321M. Optionable. NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NNE: Industrials/Specialty Industrial Machinery) - SQUEEZE PLAY. NNE is caught in a dilemma. The stock's compressed price range on Tuesday has resulted in a condition comparable to a wound up rubber band. We anticipate that this undecided equity will take off soon, but with the direction still in question we'll let upcoming market action tell us whether to buy shares or sell short. NNE is now at 26.50. We can capture price action either way by placing a BUY trigger at 29.58 and a SELL short trigger at 25.22. Once NNE reveals its direction, enter your triggered order and disregard the other one. As soon as your position is in place, follow up with a trailing stop of 4.36. When you acquire a 4.2 profit, tighten the stop to 2.18. Earnings Report Date: N/A. Beta: --. Market-Cap: 767.278M. Optionable.

There is generally a return to normal price behavior in the weeks following a split announcement in what we call a "Dormancy Phase." As the stock nears its split execution date it often moves into the "Pre-Split Run" stage where quick and sometimes dramatic gains can occur. Announce Eff. Split Company Name (Symbol) Date Date Ratio Options ---------------- ------- -------- ------- ------ ------- NOTE: The number of stock split announcments goes up during Bull markets, and goes down during Bear market cycles. There are currently no upcoming stock splits that meet RightLine's proprietary criteria for split ratio, trading volume and price action.
