Major Indices Ended Weak After Erasing Early Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The first trading day of the new quarter saw a -1.0% drop for the Russell 2000 while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% and 0.6%, respectively. The Nasdaq Composite eked out a 0.1% gain. Volume reported was lighter that the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 5-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 67 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 110 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted and but still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and 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 S&P 500 Index is perched near its all-time high.
The 10-yr note yield jumped 12 basis points to 4.33% and the 2-yr note yield rose 10 basis points to 4.72%. Treasuries were reacting to some economic data that didn't exactly corroborate the market's thinking in terms of rate cuts by the FOMC. The latest ISM Manufacturing data was stronger than expected. This data followed the February Personal Spending and Income report, released Friday, containing sticky inflation figures.
Eight of the 11 S&P 500 sectors settled with losses, but only one sector fell more than 1.0%. Meta Platforms (META +1.19%) and Alphabet (GOOG +2.78%) helped propel the communication services sector to a +1.5% gain. The rate-sensitive real estate sector lagged, dropping 1.8% in response to the activity in Treasuries. The energy sector gained +0.8%. Chevron (CVX +0.85%) and Exxon Mobil (XOM +0.65%) rose along with commodity prices. WTI crude oil futures settled +0.8% higher at $83.94/bbl and natural gas futures jumped +5.1% to $1.85/mmbtu.

Tech and Commodity-Linked Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.05%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -1.15%) both lost ground while the Retail Index ($RLX -0.62%) suffered a smaller loss. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.16%) outpaced the Networking Index ($NWX +0.35%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.22%). Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.42%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.03%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.73%) posted unanimous gains.
![]() PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.42%) is challenging its December 2023 high.

50-Day Moving Average Line Support Being Tested
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
CrowdStrike Holdings (CRWD -$1.03 or -0.32% to $319.56) has seen its volume totals cooling while consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($315.63) which recently acted as support. It has not formed a sound base of sufficient length.
Fundamentals remain strong after it reported Jan '24 quarterly earnings +102% on +33% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, extending its streak of strong earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) in quarterly comparisons. CRWD was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 3/11/24 with an annotated graph under the headline "Encountered Distributional Pressure After Spiking to New High". It has a highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share rating. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been strong.
CRWD completed its $34 IPO on 6/12/19. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,880 in Jun 23 to 2,265 in Dec '23, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. |
