Liquid Momentum is Briefing.com's proprietary Focus List for up to 50 of the most liquid, high Relative Strength stocks in the market that are ideal for Day and Swing trading high-quality names. It is generated from a proprietary algorithm that places heavy emphasis on superior Relative Strength versus the "all stocks universe," high Average True Range (ATR) values, and high Average Daily Volume, among a few other data points. An updated list is published by each Monday, along with some charts and commentary throughout the week highlighting the most compelling set-ups and patterns. 

Mixed results and choppy action in the latest week's trade with the S&P 500 climbing back late to tack on a minor gain (+0.1%).  The Nasdaq Comp slightly outperformed as it pushed to a +0.5% advance.  The first half of the week was firmly negative with mega-cap and AI weakness along with disappointing data pressuring.  Technically the S&P 500 had paused just shy of its all time intraday high from October in the previous week with further profit-taking contributing to the backtracking.  The decline into midweek slipped slightly under the 50 day averages but the index held near the 50% retracement of the Nov-Dec advance with earnings (MU) and technology leadership lifting the index into the weekly close.  Positive sector leadership came from Discretionary (+1.0%) and Health Care (+0.6%) while decliners included Energy (-2.9%) and Staples (-0.9%).  Another modest amount of changes in the Liquid Momentum Table as there were 12 additions/deletions.  A clear push onto the table was noted in Mining as three joined (BVN, CDE, SSRM) while Electronic/Semiconductor saw four exit (MTSI, TSM, LRCX, SMTC).  Overall Mining continues to be the top performer with 17 names on the list.  Former leadership from Computer/Software has dropped to four, Medical-Biomed/Biotech has three while Electronic/Semiconductor has dipped to just two names on the table.
