Market Internals Mixed as Major Indices Post Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 341 points, while the Nasdaq Composite increased 0.7%. The S&P 500 gained 0.8%. Volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly positive as advancers led decliners by an 8-7 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 29 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 36 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 reversed yesterday’s loss to close higher as nine of the eleven sectors finished in positive territory. Utilities paced gains Thursday as investors tried to shake off the hawkish rhetoric and look to the future state of the economy. During Atlanta Federal Reserve (Fed) President Raphael Bostic’s meeting he announced he believes the slow and steady mindset is the appropriate course of action for the central bank and is sticking with the quarter point rate hike at the March 22 meeting.
On the data front, initial jobless claims for the week ended February 24 slightly declined to 190,000 from last week’s 192,000 print, remaining below the 200,000 level for the seventh consecutive week as the labor market continues to remain resilient. In corporate news, Salesforce Inc. (CRM +11.50%) reported their fourth quarter earnings and revenue topped estimates along with a better-than-expected 2023 forecast. The company noted it will continue its share buyback program from last year. Macy’s Inc. (M +11.11%) announced it topped earnings estimates and met Wall Street’s revenue estimates.
Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note increasing seven basis points (0.07%) to 4.06% while the 30-year bond yield gained five basis points (0.05%) to 4.00%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, remained unchanged 4.88%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased 0.3% to $77.95/barrel amid a strong economic rebound in China after their manufacturing activity data reported its fastest growth in more than a decade. |

Energy and Tech Groups Led Gainers as Financials Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX +0.35%) edged higher but losses from the Bank Index ($BKX -1.78%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.45%) created a drag that limited the major indices' ability to rally. Energy-liniked groups had a positive bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.14%) outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.83%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.01%) was unchanged. The tech sector had a slightly positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.96%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.84%) both outpaced the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.22%).
PICTURED: The Biotech Index ($BTK +0.22%) recently slumped below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Damaging Losses Triggered Technical Sell Signals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Myers Industries Inc (MYE -$1.14 or -5.21% to $20.73) suffered a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss. earish action came after it reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +39% on +7% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. It violated its 50 DMA line ($23.62) triggering a technical sell signal and undercut its 200 DMA line ($21.87) as it gapped down on Wednesday, abruptly retreating after 4 consecutive gains reaching new 52-week and all-time highs. A prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.
MYE was highlighted in yellow in the 12/08/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last covered in greater detail in the FSU section on 2/03/23 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near High After Finding Support at 50 DMA". It has a 96 Earnings Per Share Rating. The Sep '22 quarter showed +78% earnings on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. The past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), however, its sales revenues growth rate has shown deceleration in sequential comparisons +45%, +29%, +24%, to +14%. Annual earnings (A criteria) history had a slight downturn in FY '19 but growth has been otherwise strong and steady.
It hails from the Containers/Packaging industry group which is now ranked 85th on the 197 Industry Groups list (L criteria). There are only 36.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares was 336 in Mar '22 and was reported at 346 as of Dec '22. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.1 is an unbiased indication its shares have been nearly neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days (I criteria). |

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."
