US bank shares fell
The third-quarter earnings season in the US has picked up pace following the release of the latest figures from US banks. Based on preliminary expectations, the third quarter is likely to have closed with strong earnings growth for S&P 500 companies, led by the energy and technology sectors. The major US banks have still achieved solid growth on an annual basis, indicating that their operations remain strong, but the pace has clearly slowed in many cases, which has tended to result in negative share price reactions.
Commodities - Technical Analysis
Gold and silver continued their downward trend, bouncing off key levels. Until their downward trends are broken, they will not be able to produce a significant rise. The fall in oil prices reversed from the $87.5 level and began a slight upward movement. Natural gas remained in an uptrend; a significant rise could even occur if it breaks out upwards. The price of copper has become stuck in a wider range, so the oversold and overbought zones may offer more favourable trading opportunities. The falling prices of wheat and corn have reached key support levels; a buying reaction from these levels could present favourable long opportunities with limited risk.
Many stocks are starting to catch up with the booming semiconductor sector. During major rallies, a kind of rotation is usually observed, which helps lagging sectors and stocks to rise. A large number of stocks were added to the list this week, and it was necessary to further narrow the selection as the range of promising stocks widened. This trend could continue for weeks; there are no signs yet of a stronger turnaround.
Best rated US stocks based on momentum ranking
Compelling technical picture:
Super Micro Computer (daily): We’ve seen a shift in the long-term downward trend over the past three days. It left a massive gap behind, which is a very good sign, and the trend has broken upward. The low around 50 may be reached, but 62.5 and 75 could also come into play. It’s worth managing risk by covering the gap (below 25).
Gen Digital (daily): A long downtrend has been broken quite sharply. This stock has also left a gap, so a close below 20.3 could be a negative sign. The price could reach a low around 25, but it could also rise as high as the previous breakout level (around 28.12).

Most popular US stocks
The momentum model supports the creation of a technical based stock list that helps to find shorter-term trading opportunities. The model can be used to identify stocks that show reversal signals following more sustained falls/underperformance. We examine one-year, six-month, three-month, one-month and five-day momentum values, which are used to rank the stocks under consideration. The higher a stock is ranked in the order, the better it technically performs relative to the others. The change in the ranking over time is used to determine the life cycle of the stock.
- In the first table, we collect the stocks that show the most attractive picture compared to the others in a given week based on momentum factors, of which those are also presented in a separate chart where a favourable situation can be identified based on additional technical analysis tools.
- In the second table, we list the stocks that are already worthy of being placed in watchlist status. They are not among the best performers, but they have the potential to improve and signal a turnaround in a few days or weeks.
- In the third table, we have also collected the more popular stocks to help identify their position in the momentum order.
The report shows the results of a technical - quantitative based stock screening, which does not examine the fundamental background/value of the companies. For this reason, risk management/position sizing rules should be designed accordingly.
