TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses on Thursday and Friday signaled a shift from the prior market uptrend (M criteria) to an uptrend under pressure and then quickly to a "market correction".  Disciplined investors know to reduce market exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.  


Decisive Downturn Signals Market Correction Taking Hold

The Dow lost 345 points (-1.1%), while the Nasdaq Composite decreased 1.8%. The S&P 500 declined 1.5%. All three major averages notched weekly declines with the Dow down 4.4%, the NASDAQ down 4.7%, and the S&P 500 down 4.6%. Volume totals on Friday were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating more intense selling pressure coming from the institutional crowd. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than 6-1 on the NYSE and by more than 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 2 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 16 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The evaporation of leadership and damaging losses late this week signaled that the major indices are in a market correction (M criteria). Disciplined investors know that in a market correction it is best to avoid new buying efforts and raise safe cash.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index suffered a big 2nd consecutive loss with higher volume while violating its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

All eleven sectors finished in negative territory as U.S. equities closed lower Friday. February’s jobs data and the turmoil seen in the financial sector raised concerns. Early Friday, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) announced the closure of Silicon Valley Bank and the creation of the Deposit Insurance National Bank of Santa Clara where all insured deposits have been transferred. As a result, parent company, SVB Financial Group (SIVB) halted trading after the stock plummeted 63% in premarket trading following reports of Silicon Valley Bank being the second-biggest bank failure in history.

On the data front, February’s nonfarm payrolls came in better-than-expected at 311,000, down from last month’s revised 504,000 print. Similarly, private payrolls rose more than expected adding 265,000 new jobs, down from January’s revised 386,000. Meanwhile, unemployment ticked higher to 3.6% while average hourly earnings growth moved lower signaling the labor market might be loosening up.

Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note decreasing 24 basis points (0.24%) to 3.68% while the 30-year bond yield lost 19 basis points (0.19%) to 3.68%. The yield on the two-year note declined 31 basis points (0.31%) to 4.58%, posting its largest decline in decades. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude increased 1.1% to $76.53/barrel after Saudi Arabia and Iran re-established ties after days of undisclosed meetings in Beijing. Elsewhere, U.S. President Joe Biden proposed budget cuts which would scrap billions of dollars in industry subsidies.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Energy-Linked Groups Fell

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -4.32%) and Bank Index ($BKX -3.91%), both important leading indicators, suffered big losses and weighed on the major averages on Friday. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.20%) lost ground and the tech sector also had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.89%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.24%), and Biotech Index ($BTK -1.33%) suffered unanimous losses. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.34%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.25%) both lost ground while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.96%) posted a standout gain on the widely negative session.   

Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -1.20%) has been slumping well below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines toward the prior lows.  Consumer spending accounts for about 2/3 of the US economy, so the weak action bodes poorly for the broader market outlook.

Pullback to Support Marked Secondary Buy Point; Market Concerns Rose

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH -$3.10 or -2.25% to $134.49) was highlighted in yellow in the earlier mid-day report (read here) as a valid secondary buy point exists up to 5% above the recent high following a pullback to support at the 10 WMA line after an earlier breakout. It pulled back on earnings news but found prompt support with a "positive reversal" on 3/01/23. Fundamentals remain strong. There was a "negative reversal" on the prior session at its all-time high. Quickly eroding market conditions (M criteria) also raised a caution flag late this week, hurting the outlook for any new buying efforts.

Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($128) defines near-term support above prior highs in the $125 area. CLH was last shown in greater detail on 11/29/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Volume-Driven Losses Undercut 50-Day Moving Average". It showed resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 12/29/22.

CLH has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Dec '22 quarterly earnings +62% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.


There are only 54.1 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 rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 702 in Dec '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C, but an Accumulation Distribution Rating of B-.

Volume was above average behind today's big loss while slumping further below its 50 DMA line ($53.34). It also violated the recent low ($50.90 on 2/24/23) raising greater concerns and triggering a more worrisome technical sell signal. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.
