Market Clearly Faced Pressure This Week as Leadership Thinned
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow fell 620 points, extending its weekly decline to 3.3%. The S&P 500 slid 1.9% for the day and 3.3% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite retreated 2%, capping a 3.5% drop for the week. The downward pressure this week pushed the Dow and S&P 500 into negative for the year, with the benchmarks ending the month 2.0% and 1.1% lower, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite bucked the downtrend, remaining 1.4% higher in January. The volume totals on Friday were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 16 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 25 on the prior session, and down abruptly from 96 on Monday. New 52-week highs totals contracted again but still outnumbered the new 52-week lows totals. The major indices clearly saw their uptrend come under pressure (M criteria) this week while leadership thinned. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back testing its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with higher volume behind losses this week from its record high.

U.S. equities ended firmly lower on Friday, capping Wall Street’s worst week for stocks since late October. Volatility remained elevated on a number of small-cap stocks favored by some retail investors on Friday. Also weighing on sentiment was disappointing COVID-19 vaccine updates, with Johnson & Johnson (JNJ -3.56%) noting lower efficacy of its single shot inoculation against certain variants of the virus. Meanwhile, Novavax (NVAX +64.87%) rallied after it reported its vaccine was 90% effective overall, but only 60% effective in the highly contagious South African strain.

On the data front, personal income ticked up 0.6% in December, while spending fell 0.2%. The core PCE deflator (ex-food and energy), climbed 1.5% year-over-year. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note adding two basis points to 1.07%.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory, with nine groups shedding more than 1%. Energy stocks led laggards with Chevron (CVX -4.27%) fell after reporting a surprise loss in the most recent quarter. In other earnings, Mondelez (MDLZ -2.94%) fell despite fourth quarter earnings and revenue coming in above consensus estimates. Drug maker Eli Lilly (LLY -0.96%) fell despite its profit tally beating on the top and bottom line.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Energy-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX -2.51%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.04%) created a drag on the major indices along with the Retail Index ($RLX -1.65%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.07%) finished flat while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -3.87%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.16%) both slumped. The tech sector also had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.71%) Networking Index ($NWX -1.77%) both outpaced the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.49%) to the downside.

Testing Important Support on Pullback
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Charles River Labs Intl (CRL -$1.83 or -0.70% to $259.05) pulled back further with lighter volume behind today's loss. The prior high ($257) and support at its 50-day moving average DMA line ($250.46) were tested with the pullback this week. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

It is due to report Dec '20 quarterly results on 2/17/21. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. CRL reported Sep '20 quarterly earnings +38% on +11% sales revenues versus the year ago period, above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It now has a 90 Earnings Per Share Rating. Annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong and steady.

It hails from the Medical - Research Equipment/Services industry group which currently has a mediocre C(37) Group Relative Strength Rating (L criteria). CRL traded up as much as +29.9% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 7/15/20 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 1/05/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hovering in Tight Range Holding Ground Near High".

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 681 in Dec '19 to 810 in Dec '20, and its Up/Down Volume Ratio is 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. There is a small number of only 49.7 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
