The Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated Monday, even as the Nasdaq gained. Tech stocks outperformed, with Apple (AAPL) and Microsoft (MSFT) among the top blue chips. AMC Entertainment (AMC) was also rallying once again.
A number of stocks managed to stage breakout attempts, despite the mixed action. Crocs (CROX), Dynatrace (DT) and Brooks Automation (BRKS) were among the notable names passing buy points.
XNasdaq Gains As Tech Stocks Bounce
The tech-heavy Nasdaq was the top major index of the day, closing 0.7% higher. Marvell Technology (MRVL) and Leaderboard name Adobe (ADBE) were the standout stocks. Marvell rose 3.3%, while Adobe gained 2.9%
The broader S&P 500 managed to rally out of the red, posting a gain of 0.2%. Medical equipment company ResMed (RMD) fared best, rising 6%. Oil stock Baker Hughes (BKR) was the worst laggard, slipping 4.5%.

The S&P sectors closed mixed, with technology and communication services the only areas in the green. Materials and financials were the biggest laggards.
Small caps were forced lower by the bears, with the Russell 2000 slipping 0.3%. But growth stocks fared worst of all, with the Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY) falling 1%.
Apple Stock Not Enough For Dow Jones
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was faring the worst out of the major indexes. However it pared some losses, closing down 0.3%.
Apple stock was among the top components, turning in a gain of 2.5%. Apple is trying to form a new flat base with a 137.17 buy point. It previously triggered the 7%-8% sell rule from a 135.63 buy point in early May.
Microsoft was among the other Dow Jones stocks in the green. The software giant finished up 0.8%. The Leaderboard name is trying to reach a new flat base's buy point of 263.29, according to MarketSmith analysis.
But both stocks were left in the shade by Salesforce.com (CRM). The customer relationship management software stock rose 2.5%. The biggest laggard was JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which fell 1.6%.
AMC Stock Rallies Again
AMC stock was rallying again Monday, posting a gain of just over 15%. The stock is up more than 2,600% since the start of 2021.
The firm is taking advantage of the spike in interest and announced on June 3 it plans to sell up to 11.55 million shares.
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), a new addition to the meme stock roster, was rebounding off the ropes, gaining 1.4%. The stock is looking to drive higher again after posting a gain of 10% last week.
WWE stock is at the top of a buy zone above a 61.42 entry. Unlike many meme stocks, WWE has solid earnings, with its EPS Rating coming in at 77.
There was less luck for GameStop (GME), which gave up 1.7%. GME stock posted a loss of around 6% last week. GameStop stock previously got spanked after the firm said it may sell up to 5 million shares from time to time, in "at the market" offerings.
Crocs Tears Past Buy Point
Crocs surged past a new flat-base buy point of 110.01 and is already near the top of its buy zone. The bullish move propelled Crocs onto the prestigious Leaderboard list of leading growth stocks.
The relative strength line is bending upward, which is encouraging. The base is second stage, meaning it's more likely to succeed.
Dynatrace is in a buy zone after breaking out of a double-bottom base, MarketSmith analysis shows. It's closed just below an ideal entry point of 56.23.
One fly in the ointment? It is a low-volume breakout.
Brooks Automation passed a buy point of 103.69 but closed well below below the entry. Brooks is worth keeping an eye on, as strong market and earnings performance has netted the stock an IBD Composite Rating of 97. Fifty-eight percent of its stock is held by funds.
