NUE/Nucor Corporation Highlight Follow-up 2024-01-30
Above is the graphic from the 12/22/23 highlight showing the high $170s level as a ceiling for NUE/Nucor Corporation Stock 2022 through 2023, as the lows have been rising.

Discussed Nucor/NUE 12/22/23 in this post, today 1/30/24 it broke out to all-time highs on volume (Yahoo 1.418 million shares daily average vs. 3.573 million today).

What next? No idea. But at ATHs every owner is now profitable.

The higher the price, the more profitable they are – while possibly regretting they had not previously bought more. If/when the stock declines? They’ll perhaps happily increase their positions.

Isn’t that how this works? (Narrator: it is.)

A price breakout on higher-than-normal volume.

(Notes:
🔹 Per today’s Group 1 strength report, NUE is rated STRONGEST and the Steel & Iron sub-industry STRENGTHENED this past week
🔹 Per the 1/26/24 market strength report, the market is “Strengthening – Early”

COMMENTS:
With no guarantees this objectively calculated market/industry/sub-industry/stock strength will continue,** do items 1-4 increase the chances of a successful $NUE breakout?

As most stocks do what the market does, I’d say yes.>>
