Weekly Commentary
NASDAQ Closes at Another New High Led by Mega Cap Techs

The NASDAQ continued to outpace the major indexes with a 1.2% gain while the DJI went backwards (-1.4%) and the S&P 500 gained just 0.3%. Market participants are favoring the growth potential of the large tech stocks as evidenced by the Vanguard Mega Cap MGK etf moving 2.2% higher. The economic news is good with retail sales for October climbing, unemployment falling and passage of the Infrastructure legislation which will add further stimulus.
NASDAQ Chart
Although the NASDAQ continues to advance, there are fewer opportunities for breakouts and gains are limited by the already high valuations of stocks that do breakout. As of Friday, there were just 34 cup and handle stocks on our watchlist and only 2 Volatility Squeeze candidates.
Chart of the Week
Our price model has selected Alpine Immune Sciences (ALPN) as the cup and handle pattern stock most likely to breakout at the next session. ALPN closed 1.5% below its breakout price on Friday on above average volume
