Leadership Waned as Major Indices Pulled Back
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 260 points and the Nasdaq Composite declined 2%. The S&P 500 decreased 1.3%; however, the index is currently on track for its best January since 2019. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 18 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 50 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still 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 Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with a loss on lighter volume.
U.S. equities finished lower Monday as investors prepare for a busy week of corporate earnings and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate decision along with its counterparts in London and Frankfurt. Ten of the eleven S&P sectors finished in negative territory, with Energy the worst of laggards.
On the data front, December’s Dallas Federal Manufacturing Activity came in stronger-than-expected declining 8.4 versus the forecasted -15. In corporate news, the Ford Motor Company (F -2.86%) announced their plans to lower prices on an average Mustang Mach-E crossover model by $4,500 and boost its production on the electric vehicle, following a similar announcement from Tesla days earlier. Meanwhile, American Express Co. (AXP +0.20%) shares surged after reporting earnings Friday amid optimism in its forward-looking guidance despite missing fourth quarter expectations.
Treasury yields gained momentum ahead of the Fed’s first 2023 meeting. The yield on the 10-year note increased three basis points (0.03%) to 3.54%, while the 30-year bond yield gained two basis points (0.02%) at 3.65%. The yield on the two-year note climbed four basis points (0.04%) to 4.24%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 2.4% to $77.79/barrel amid signs of strong Russian exports despite recent sanctions from the European Union’s ban and the Group of Seven’s (G7) price cap. Meanwhile, ministers from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) are slated to gather Wednesday. Analyst forecast the current output policy may remain unchanged.

7th Consecutive Gain for Titan
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Titan Machinery Inc (TITN +0.63 ort +1.46% to $43.82) posted a 7th consecutive gain today backbed by higher volume. It found support when recently consolidating near the prior high in the $38 area which defines important support to watch along with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($39.60). Its color code has been changed to yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 12/01/22 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new technical buy signal. A valid secondary buy point also may be considered up to 5% above the recent high since it found support at the 10-week moving average line.
Fundamentals remain strong after reporting Oct '22 quarterly earnings +91% on +47% sales revenues. It currently has the highest possible earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Following years of losses it has shown strong earnings growth for FY '19-22. TITN was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/23/21 high plus 10 cents in the 11/30/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 1/13/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Forming New Base for Past 7 Weeks".
The small supply of only 22.7 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 361 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. |

Y - Posted a gain today with +64% above average volume for a best ever close while rallying above the previously cited pivot point. The 50 DMA line ($32.26) and recent low ($30.60 on 1/19/23) define near-term support levels to watch following its recently noted failed breakout attempt. 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. Confirming volume-driven gains for a new high would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph.
