Leadership Improved While Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 112 points, while the S&P 500 declined 0.1%. The Nasdaq Composite gained 0.6% as investors piled into the beaten-up tech stocks. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 25 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 10 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying, reduce exposure and raise cash until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day is noted.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating above its 50-day moving average line and remains well above its October low. The Blue Chip index is in healthier shape, technically, versus the other major indices.
U.S. equities reversed earlier gains to close mixed Monday as investors continue to assess if inflation data. Six of the eleven S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with Health Care leading laggards. On the data front, consumer credit unexpectedly rose in November to $27.96 billion versus the estimated $25 billion as credit-card balances increased by the most in three months.
Treasuries strengthened after the New York Federal Reserve (Fed) released a survey Monday afternoon stating consumers see inflation easing this year along with a considerable decease in their spending habits. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note declined three basis points (0.03%) to 3.53%, while the 30-year bond yield dipped four basis points (0.04%) to 3.65%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, decreased six basis points (0.06%) to 4.20%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased 1.4% to $74.83/barrel as China continues to reopen its borders, boosting the outlook for crude oil demand. Meanwhile, the Biden administration slowed its release of U.S. crude reserves into the market last week as some see its distribution nearing the end. The Biden administration has also sparked conversation about refilling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) this year. In the metals complex, Gold increased 0.3%, hovering around its eight-month peak as the dollar weakened.

Finding Support Near 50-Day Moving Average After Failed Breakout Attempt
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Sterling Infrastructure (STRL+$0.21 or +0.66% to $32.19) abruptly retreated from its 52-week high with 2 consecutive losses backed by above average volume, negating the recent breakout attempt and testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/08/22 high plus 10 cents in the 12/14/22 mid-day report.
Although it faces no resistance due to overhead supply, it reversed most of its early gain on 1/03/22 and closed near the session low - action indicative of distributional pressure rather than that of hearty institutional buying demand. Subsequent gains and a close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Some of the recent action may rightly be attributed to the broader market's weakness as the market (M criteria) made a noted shift to a "correction". Disciplined investors will watch for a new confirmed uptrend with follow-through day to be noted.
STRL was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/08/22 high plus 10 cents in the 12/14/22 mid-day report (read here) and is was covered in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Sterling Infrastructure Forming Orderly Base Pattern".
STRL hails from the Building - Heavy Construction industry group which is ranked 53rd on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). It has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +35% on +20% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 5th quarterly comparison at or above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady since FY '17.
The company has a small supply of only 30.3 million shares outstanding. That can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top rated funds owning its shares only rose from 337 in Dec '21 to 338 in Sep '22. However, its current Up/Down volume ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
