Stocks quotes in this article: WMT, AMZN, TGT, COST, HD, BBY, DKS

In the No-Huddle Offense segment of his Mad Money program Wednesday night, Jim Cramer added a few names to his list of favorite retailers. He said that his WATCH list, which includes Walmart (WMT) , Amazon (AMZN) , Target (TGT) , Costco (COST) , and Home Depot (HD) all remain strong. After analyzing this quarter's results, there are a few more names worth noting. Cramer said that Best Buy (BBY) and Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) both benefited as their competition got pancaked during the pandemic. 

 
Let's check out the charts of Dick's.

In this daily bar chart of DKS, below, we can see that prices gapped up to a new 52-week high the other day. Prices are above the rising 50-day moving average line and above the rising 200-day moving average line. Trading volume soared as traders and investors piled in aggressively.

 
The On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line made a new high telling us that buyers of DKS were more aggressive.
