Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED) and TTM Technologies (NASDAQ:TTMI), which both joined the Leaders list Monday as half positions, closed with gains of 3.7% and 5.5%, respectively, as the major stock indexes closed near session highs.

The Russell 2000 led the way Tuesday, up 2.2%, and the Dow Jones wasn't far behind, up 1.4%. The S&P 500 rallied 0.9% and the Nasdaq composite picked up 0.7%.

Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX) joined the Leaders as a half position as it finds support at its 10-week moving average. This raised our invested percentage close to 50%.

Globus is nearing the top of the buy zone from cup-with-handle entry of 87.16. The company is known for its innovative spinal procedures as well as joint reconstruction therapies.

TTM is also making a bullish test of its 10-week line after a breakout from a base during the week of Sept. 19.

Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:ISRG) was raised to a three quarters position from half as it approaches an alternate handle entry of 580.47.

Embraer (NYSE:EMBJ) reversed slightly higher after a soft start, but it's still lagging in the model portfolio after joining the Leaders list  on Oct. 21 at 62.80.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) closed in the bottom half of its range but still rose 1.5%. Shares got a boost early after The Information reported that Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is considering using Google's in-house AI chips, called tensor processing units, that are co-designed with Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).

The news weighed on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), which fell 2.6% and 4.2%, respectively.

Finally, BeOne Medicines (NASDAQ:ONC) exited the Leaders list Monday after the biotech fell sharply to its 50-day moving average. The biotech triggered a sell signal by falling more than 7% below our entry. 

Attention Subscribers: (Editor's Note: IBD is now taking the final resistance level across all key chart patterns as the buy point, instead of adding 10 cents. This means any price above a pivotal entry now signifies a breakout underway. The 10-cent rule derived from an adjustment to decimal-based pricing in the stock market more than 23 years ago. When dollar fractions were still being used, a breakout referred to a move of at least 1/8 of one dollar, or 12.5 cents, above the final resistance level in a specific chart pattern.)
