Market Shows Less Leadership as Major Indices Pull Back
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 fell -0.3%, Nasdaq Composite also logged a -0.3% decline, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average -0.4% also fell while the Russell 2000 eked out a small gain of +0.1%. Volume reported was mixed, lighter that the prior session total on the NYSE and slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was slightly negative as decliners led advancers by a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 51 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 71 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE while the new highs and new lows totals were evenly matched on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). New buying efforts should be only made in stocks fitting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Averageb is perched near its all-time high.
Alphabet (GOOG -0.41%), Meta Platforms (META -1.29%), and Apple (AAPL -0.83%) each ended slightly in the red after news that the EU commission opened non-compliance investigations against them. Meanwhile, news that China will not allow government computers to use chips from AMD (AMD -0.57%) and Intel (INTC -1.74%) weighed on the semiconductor group.
The energy sector logged the biggest gain by a wide margin amid rising oil prices ($81.95/bbl, +1.33, +1.7%). Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors fell as health care (-0.2%) and industrials (-0.7%) were laggards.
A fresh $66 billion 2-yr note auction was met with soft demand. The 10-yr note yield rose four basis points to 4.25% and the 2-yr note yield rose three basis points to 4.63%.

Manhattan Associates Consolidating Above 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Manhattan Associates Inc (MANH -$2.33 or -0.93% to $248.51) closed just -6.9% off its all-time high today and volume totals have been cooling. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($242.87) defines near-term support to watch above the prior low ($239.14 on 2/21/24). More damaging losses could raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. MANH was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/29/23 high plus 10 cents in the 1/31/24 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in great detail on 2/29/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hovering Near All-Time High After Streak of Small Gains". Earnings increases were above the +25% minimum guideline in the 5 latest quarterly comparisons through Dec '23. Annual earnings growth has been strong. It has a 96 Earnings Per Share (EPS) rating. Its Relative Strength rating is 89. It has a small supply of 61.6 million shares (S criteria) outstanding, which can contribute to volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 849 in Mar '23 to 1,296 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

Y - Hit a new all-time high approaching its "max buy" level with today's 2nd consecutive gain backed by near average volume. Its 50 DMA line ($271) defines near-term support to watch on pullbacks. Color code was changed to yellow after forming a new flat base noted as a riskier "late stage" base.
