By mistake, I filtered stocks that had a rising Blue Dot setup on Tuesday evening. I usually filter stocks that reached an ATH, of which oil &gas stocks had the most today (10). I found the most stocks with a rising Blue Dot were semiconductors. Does this mean that semis are bottoming? We will need to see. I will be speaking about the rising Blue Dot setup at the MoneyShow virtual event on October 20, register free here.  It is a 30 minute online speech and if you register you can gain access to the recording. I hope to see you there. I will make an exciting announcement.

Here are the 11 stocks. Note how many have doubled from their yearly lows, shown in the last column. I have found that when many stocks in the same industry reach an ATH it can be strong bullish sign. I wonder if many stocks in an industry have bounced from oversold, it also means something important. Money tends to flow into  groups.

Here is an example chart of AMD. If I buy an oversold bounce, I put a sell stop just below the low of the bounce.

Day 16 of $QQQ short term up-trend; GMI remains GREEN, see table. 25 stocks traded at an ATH on Friday, 6 were oil&gas and 4 were software firms. One software firm, PLTR, had a GLB on Friday, see daily and monthly charts and my analysis .

PLTR closed above its Green line at 207.52 on Friday on above average trading volume. To be a successful GLB, it must not CLOSE below 207.52.  Earnings are scheduled to be released on 11/2. PLTR has already doubled from its lowest price the past 250 days. PLTR has been tracking along its 5 day EMA and is now outside its upper 15.2 Bollinger Band. It may trade back at the 5 EMA.

Monthly chart shows its last GLB was in November 2024 at 44.91, not a bad place to have purchased it! I change a Green line to orange when it is surpassed by a subsequent one. I will discuss GLBs during my upcoming presentation on the MoneyShow on 10/20.

GMI is only 3 but is still on a GREEN signal. Note there were more US stocks reaching yearly new highs than lows on Friday.

Day 15 of $QQQ short term up-trend; only 17 US stocks reached an ATH on Thursday, the most (7) were oil & gas related; 6 of them have more than doubled from their lows the past year. See list.

With oil prices going through the roof, it made sense to buy stocks that benefit from the rise. So many traders online are complaining about their horrible trades. Why did they miss these? This is not the first time these stocks have dominated the ATH list. The last column shows current price divided by the lowest price the last 250 days. SHEL is the weakest, up only 50%.
