Major Indices Sputtered and Ended Mostly Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 5 points, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.7% amid a rout in Technology shares. The S&P 500 fell 0.5%. Volume totals were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 36 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 31 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend under pressure (M criteria). For any rally to be sustained there must be healthy leadership. It will be important to watch for further improvement in the new highs totals in the immediate days ahead. Stay tuned!
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is quietly consolidating just above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. equities finished mixed Wednesday as investors assessed the global economic outlook and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future course of monetary policy. Eight of 11 sectors finished in negative territory. In the central bank space, Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic supported raising interest rates above 5%, while Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari signaled concern the central bank’s monetary policy is doing little to slow the services sector.
On the data front, the Institute of Supply Management’s (ISM) Manufacturing Index came in at 47.7 in February, its first improvement in six months, though it remains in contractionary territory. Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) mortgage applications for the week ended February 24 fell 5.5%, bringing mortgage demand to its lowest level in 28 years. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note climbing seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.99% after briefly topping 4% for the first time since November, while the 30-year bond yield increased three basis points (0.03%) to 3.95%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, advanced eight basis points (0.08%) to 4.88%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude added 0.9% to $77.73/barrel amid renewed investor optimism over China’s reopening following stronger-than-expected economic data. However, gains were capped after the weekly report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showed a larger-than-forecasted increase in U.S. crude stockpiles. |

Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -2.07%) created a drag on the major averages while the Bank Index ($BKX -0.29%) edged lower and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.05%) finished flat. The Biotech Index ($BTK +1.03%) led the tech sector but the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.09%) finished flat and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.52%) edged lower. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.82%), Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.41%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +2.76%) each notched a solid gain.
PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.29%) has recently been consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. The shorter-term average recently crossed above the longer term average, a bullish technical signal termed a "golden cross".

Holding its Ground After Rallying From Previously Noted Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Allegro Microsystems Inc (ALGM +$0.09 or +0.21% to $43.77) has been stubbornly holding its ground with volume totals cooling after getting extended from the previously noted base. The prior high in the $38 area defines initial support to watch on pullbacks.
ALGM was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/28/21 high plus 10 cents in the 1/31/23 mid-day report (read here) and shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Big Volume-Driven Gain for Best-Ever Close". It hit a new all-time high with a big gain backed by +378% above average volume after a deep 12-month consolidation. Subsequent gains helped clinch a technical buy signal.
The company hails from the Elec-Semiconductor Mfg group which is currently ranked 68th on the 197 Industry Groups list. It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. Quarterly comparisons through Dec '22 have been above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history has been strong since its $14 IPO in Oct '20. ALGM has a new CEO as of Jun '22.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 341 in Mar '22 to 458 in Dec '22, a reassuringn sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

G - Consolidating just below its 50 DMA line ($52.84) with volume totals cooling after a damaging loss noted on 2/23/23. The recent low ($50.90 on 2/24/23) defines important near term support where any more damaging losses would raise greater concerns. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Inching higher today for a 5th consecutive small gain, wedging into new all-time high territory with gains lacking great volume conviction. Showed resilience after briefly violating its 50 DMA line on 2/07/23. Members were reminded - "Disciplined investors know that gains above a stock's pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper technical buy signal."

G - A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Violated its 50 DMA line ($38.09) with a damaging volume-driven loss triggering a technical sell signal when last noted on 2/21/23 and it has failed to rebound above that important short-term average. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns. Reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +121 on +10% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
