The major market averages rose on mixed volume on mixed volume as the NASDAQ led the way higher on heavier trade. The underlying tone of the market continues to improve as a number of names had quality pocket pivots and buyable gap ups which bode well for the internals of the market.

Trinity Industries (TRN) had a buyable gap up on a strong earnings report. Group rank 17, accelerating earnings and sales. TRN tends to obey its 50dma.
Tesla Motors (TSLA) had a buyable gap up after reporting strong earnings. We have reported on TSLA in prior reports.

Pocket pivots:
Priceline.com (PCLN) - Volume surged just near the close, and the stock then gapped up after hours due to a strong earnings report. We have reported on PCLN before.
