Breadth Negative as Market Correction Brings More Damage
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow shed 384 points (1.2%) while the Nasdaq Composite slid 0.7%. The S&P 500 shed 1.1% with all sectors finishing in negative territory. For the week, the Dow fell 0.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite and S&P 500 climbed 4.4% and 1.5%, respectively. Volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations, and indicating heavier selling coming from the institutional crowd. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 3-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit a new 52-week high and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 9 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and soldly outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average had higher volume behind losses while sinking below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. The October low defines the next important chart support levels to watch as the market correction continues. Disciplined investors are watching for a solid follow-through day to confirm a new uptrend.
U.S. equities finished lower Friday amid continuing worries over the state of the banking sector. Investors were nervous heading into the weekend as they tried to assess how this week’s events will impact the economy. Next week, the Federal Reserve (Fed) is scheduled to have a monetary policy meeting, and traders speculated whether they will hike rates or pause due to the uncertainty.
On the data front, a preliminary reading for the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index showed sentiment ticked lower in March, reflecting consumer uncertainty over the economic outlook. Meanwhile, the short-term inflation expectations component of the report eased to 3.8%, while the long-term expectations component ticked lower to 2.8%. Treasuries strengthened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note shedding 15 basis points (0.15%) to 3.42%, while the 30-year bond yield dipped 10 basis points (0.10%) to 3.61%. The yield on the two-year note, which is more sensitive to changes in Fed policy, slid 31 basis points (0.31%) to 3.85%. Over in the commodity pits, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 3.1% to $66.24/barrel to hover near a 15-month low amid concerns over the economic outlook. For the week, the domestic benchmark tumbled 13.4%.

Y - Sputtering below the noted pivot point and testing support at its 50 DMA line ($23.32) with today's volume-driven loss. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Broader market weakness (M criteria) has been noted as a "correction" that has raised concerns.
