Indices Were Mixed With Nasdaq Composite Leading Retreat
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The market-cap weighted S&P 500 fell -0.6% while the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) closed just above Friday's closing level. The Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out a small gain while the Nasdaq Composite Index was a standout decliner falling -1.65%. Volume was reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and by about a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 14 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 38 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its all-time high. Apple (AAPL -3.58%) was an influential loser following a Barclays analyst downgrade. That and other profit-taking activity in the mega cap stocks weighed over the broader market following nine-straight weeks of gains to close out 2023. The only three S&P 500 sectors to register declines in 2023 saw some of the largest gains to start 2024. The utilities sector, which fell -10.2% last year managed a +1.4% gain. The energy sector, which declined -4.8% in 2023, climbed +1.2%. The consumer staples sector, which fell -2.2% last year, closed with a +1.2% gain. The health care sector was another top performer with a +1.8% gain versus last year's +0.3% gain.
Information technology (-2.6%), consumer discretionary (-0.9%), communication services (-0.9%) sectors, and the industrial sector (-1.0%) was another decliner.
The 2-yr note yield rose eight basis points to 4.33% and the 10-yr note yield rose seven basis points to 3.95%.

Pulled Back After Closing 3 Weeks Tight
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
e.l.f. Beauty (ELF -$4.68 or -3.24% to $139.66) has been addeed to the Featured Stocks list highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/20/23 high plus 10 cents after forming an advanced "3 weeks tight" base (the 2nd chart is a weekly graph). It rebounded from early low of the session after gapping down, finished in the upper third of its intra-day range and near its 52-week high. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs are needed to trigger a technical buy signal.
ELF has a 98 Earnings Per Share rating. It reported Sep '23 quarterly earnings +128% on +76% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, adding to its streak of very strong quarterly results well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history over the past 3 years has been strong, making it a better match with the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 510 in Mar '23 to 722 in Dec '23, a very reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 55.2 million shares outstanding can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" after an early gain today as, with light volume, it closed at the session low. Recently wedged above its 50 DMA line ($99.75) toward its high with gains lacking great volume conviction. Its 50 DMA line defines initial support above the recent low ($94.73 on 12/11/23) on pullbacks.

Y - Pulled back today with near-average (higher) volume. The new pivot point cited was based on its 11/14/23 high plus 10 cents, however, recent gains above the pivot point were not backed by the +40% above-average volume necessary to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong. Recent lows in the $950 area define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

Color code is changed to yellow as it formed an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with the pivot point cited based on its 12/18/23 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Reported Oct '23 quarterly earnings +105% on +35% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, extending its streak of strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons. Faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Annual earnings history has been strong. Completed its $34 IPO on 6/12/19.
