Monster Beverage (MNST) and Moody’s (MCO) cleared buy points Wednesday, leading another short new-highs list. Monster rose 4.04, or 4%, to 96.47 and clearing a 92.87 cup-with-handle buy point. However, volume was just 7% above average, well below the 40% spike that would signal a healthy breakout. Monster soared 30% on Aug. 15 after Coca-Cola (KO) said it would take a minority stake in the maker of energy drinks.
