Growth and consumer discretionary stocks recaptured traders and institutions attention on Monday, with many weekly charts rebounding off the respective 10emas. Technology and growth stocks, Microsoft (MSFT), Apple Computer (AAPL), and Nvidia (NVDA) printed very active weekly charts, closing near session highs. Consumer discrtionary and retailer stocks, Amazon (AMZN), Target (TGT), and Costco (COST) also participated in Monday’s bullish breakouts.
Consumer discretionary stocks are out performing consumer staples stocks, which points to a aggressive stance by institutions. We look for this to continue into the next few weeks, as earnings are coming in very positive, following the recent market reset.
