Tech Heavy Nasdaq Composite Leads Major Indices' Retreat
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 121 points, while the S&P 500 dipped 1.3%. The Nasdaq Composite shed 2.7% as tech and other high growth-oriented shares resumed their sell-off, with the benchmark capping its worst two-day performance since September. The volume was near the prior session total on the NYSE while volume was higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by about a narrow margin on the NYSE but decliners nearly outnumbered advancers by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 84 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 49 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered growing new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices' uptrend (M criteria) has recently come under pressure. It remains very important for healthy leadership to continue, for any rally can only be sustained if it is supported by many stocks hitting new highs. 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 slumped and retested its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That short-term average and recent lows define important near-term support to watch.
U.S. stocks finished lower on Wednesday, with investors once again monitoring rising Treasury yields and reassessing equity valuations. Treasuries declined, with the yield on the 10-year note up six basis points to 1.46%. Positive updates on fiscal stimulus and the COVID-19 vaccine rollout failed to lift the overall mood. Details of the latest coronavirus relief bill continued to be negotiated by lawmakers in the Senate, while President Biden stated that the nation should have enough COVID-19 vaccines for every American adult by the end of May.
Also pressuring risk sentiment were largely disappointing economic updates. A report from ADP showed private payrolls rose by 117,000 in February, missing estimates of a 200,000 increase. Separately, the Institute for Supply Management’s (ISM) gauge of U.S. services sector activity remained in expansionary territory, but unexpectedly fell to its lowest level in nine months in February.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the Technology and Consumer Discretionary groups slumping 2.5% and 2.4%, respectively. Energy shares bucked the downtrend amid an increase in oil prices. WTI crude advanced 2.5% to $61.25/barrel after a report suggested OPEC and its allies may extend output curbs into April. In corporate news, Lyft (LYFT +8.24%) rose after the ride-hailing company reported its strongest week of ridesharing volume since the pandemic-related lockdowns began last year. |

Consolidating Above Prior Highs and 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Dynatrace Inc (DT -$1.80 to -3.44% to $50.46) pulled back with below average volume today. Its Relative Strength Rating of 70 remains below the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates. Prior highs in the $48 area define initial support to watch above its 50-day moving average(DMA) line ($46.48).
DT was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 9/02/20 high in the 2/04/21 mid-day report (read here). It found support near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during the consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/08/20. Fundamentals remained strong. It reported Dec '20 earnings +70% on +28% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 6th consecutive strong quarterly comparison versus the year ago periods. It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating.
The high-ranked Computer Sftwr-Enterprse firm was last shown in this FSU section on 2/04/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Breakout Action Returns Dynatrace to Featured Stocks List". It completed its $16.00 IPO on 8/01/19 and Secondary Offerings on 12/06/19, 2/21/20, and 6/03/20.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 226 in Sep '19 to 736 in Dec '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been neutral concerning accumulation/distribution over the past 50 days. It has a B Timeliness rating and a B Sponsorship rating.

Violated its 50 DMA line ($238) decisively with today's big loss backed by above average volume triggering a technical sell signal. The recent low ($208.62 on 1/27/21) defines the next important near-term support to watch. Relative Strength Rating has slumped to 53, below the +80 minimum guideline for buy candidates. Fundamental concerns were noted as the 2 latest quarterly comparisons were below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.
