TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses for the major averages recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is advised until strength returns. Disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts and to raise cash by selling faltering stocks on a case-by-case basis. 


Rebound Helped Major Indices Manage a "Positive Reversal"

The S&P 500 added 0.3%, erasing an earlier drop that had temporarily pushed the broad benchmark into correction territory, defined as a 10% decline from a recent peak. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.6%, climbing back from an earlier rout of nearly 5%. The Dow gained 99 points, recouping all of its more than 1,000-point intraday loss and snapping a six-day losing streak. The small-cap Russell 2000 Index surged roughly 2% after briefly tumbling into bear market territory, defined as a 20% drop from a recent all-time high. Volume totals reported on Monday were higher than Friday's totals, which were inflated by options expirations, on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE and advancers narrowly led decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. It was the 2nd consecutive session with zero high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from a total of 41 on Friday, January 14th. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs by more than 110-1 on the NYSE and by almost 100-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The market averages (M criteria) have seen damaging losses noted that signaled a more serious market correction. Greater caution is suggested until noted strength returns.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index still remains below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line despite a "positive reversal" on Monday with higher volume following 4 consecutive losses.

U.S. stocks finished higher on Monday as some investors finally emerged to buy the dip in equities.  Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with the more traditionally defensive Utilities, Consumer Staples, and Health Care groups lagging.

A perceived risk off tone had characterized most of the session following the worst weekly drawdown for both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite since March 2020. Wall Street is bracing for a busy week of corporate earnings and the start of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) two-day policy meeting tomorrow, remaining jittery about looming monetary policy tightening.

Perceived safe haven assets caught a bid early in the session amid escalating geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar jumped 0.3%. However, the yield on the 10-year note finished one basis point higher (0.01%) at 1.77%. The yield on the two-year note fell three basis points (0.03%) to 0.97% after its $54 billion auction was met with the strongest demand since February 2020.

Retail, Financial, Oil Services, and Tech Indices Rallied in Afternoon

The Retail Index ($RLX +2.26%) and Bank Index ($BKX +0.96%) both outpaced the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.19%) as stocks overcame early weakness. The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.89%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.31%), and Networking Index ($NWX +1.90%) each overcame big losses on the session to end higher after an impressive late-afternoon rebound. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.27%) posted a big gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.01%) finished flat and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.23%) lost ground.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.96%) halted its slide on Monday after again undercutting its 200 DMA line. More damaging weakness in the financial indexes would bode poorly for the market outlook since the financials have been reliable leading indicators for the broader market.

Positive Reversal After Undercutting 200-Day Moving Average

Titan Machinery Inc (TITN +$0.10 or +0.33% to $30.13) managed a "positive reversal" today after undercutting both its 200-day moving average (DMA) line ($29.42) and the prior low ($30.27 on 12/20/21). A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($33.21) is still needed for its outlook to improve. It faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $38 level. 

Fundamentals remain strong. TITN was first highlighted in yellow in the 11/23/21 mid-day report (read here) with pivot point cited base on its 6/01/21 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in this FSU section on 12/31/21 with detailed analysis and an annotated graph under the headline, "Recently Found Support at 50-Day Moving Average Line". Bullish action came after it reported Oct '21 quarterly earnings +81% on +26% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th strong quarterly comparison. It currently has the highest possible earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Following years of losses it has shown strong earnings growth for FY '19-21.

The small supply of only 22.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria) can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 241 in Dec '20 to 315 in Dec '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days.

Y - Managed a "positive reversal" today after undercutting both its prior low and its 200 DMA line. Still below its 50 DMA line ($11.45) and a rebound above it is needed for its outlook to improve. A gain and solid close above the pivot point may help clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Reported Sep '21 quarterly earnings +100% on +30% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
