Breadth Positive and Leadership Improved as Indices Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Nasdaq Composite advanced 2% amid hopes that China’s reopening could benefit some of the beaten-up technology companies. The Dow climbed 254 points, while the S&P 500 added 1.2%, with ten of the eleven sectors finishing in positive territory. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of less institutional buying demand. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and almost a 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 8 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Disciplined investors have a green light for making new buys only in stocks matching all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose back above its 50-day moving average line with Monday's big gain backed by higher volume.

UU.S. equities finished higher on Monday as the market heads into a busy week of corporate earnings and economic data releases. Meanwhile, investors are currently betting the Federal Reserve (Fed) will slow down the pace of its rate hikes at its next meeting as multiple data releases hint at a weakening economy.

On the data front, Conference Board Leading Economic Index, which is an index comprised of 10 leading economic indicators, fell lower than expected in December to -1% versus -0.7%, marking its tenth consecutive decline since reaching its peak in February. The leading indicators saw a widespread deterioration in labor markets, manufacturing, housing construction, and financial markets, signaling a potential slowdown in growth.

Treasuries continued to weaken as market participants continue to assess the central bank’s monetary policy ahead of their meeting later this month. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note up four basis points (0.04%) to 3.52%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed four basis points (0.04%) to 3.69%. The two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, advanced six basis points (0.06%) to 4.23%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil (WTI) is little changed at $81.65/barrel as it holds steady around its seven-week high amid a stronger economic outlook on the world’s top oil importer, China, as the country continues to reopen its borders.

Tech and Financial Indexes Led Group Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Bank Index ($BKX +2.10%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.78%) both posted influential gains and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.45%) also edged higher. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +5.01%) led the tech sector higher and the Networking Index ($NWX +2.06%) notched a solid gain while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.48%) also edged higher. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.12%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.04%) were little changed and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.27%) inched higher.

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.78%) is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and has recently been rising near the prior high. Longtime members know that the financial indexes have served as reliable and very important leading indicators. Subsequent gains above the prior high would be a very reassuring sign for the broader market outlook.

Decisive Sell Signal Triggered by Considerable Loss on Heavy Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Catalyst Pharma Inc (CPRX -$6.04 or -29.04% to $14.76) gapped down today and violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($17.61) with a considerable loss backed by +642% above average volume triggering a decisive technical sell signal. When any stock suffers its largest loss ever backed by the heaviest volume it is considered a technical sell signal. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve.

CPRX finished strong after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 11/11/22 high in the 11/22/22 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in this FSU section on 1/11/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Making Gradual Progress Hitting Another New High".

It has an Earnings Per Share rating of 99. Recently it reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +86% on +59% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong since turning profitable in FY '19.

The Medical-Biomed/Biotech industry group is currently ranked 17th on the 197 Industry Groups list, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. It has only 88.5 million shares in the public float. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 311 in Sep '21 to 412 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
