Tech Heavy Nasdaq Composite Index Led Major Averages
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index posted a solid +1.68% gain and the benchmark S&P 500 Index rose +0.74%, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished flat. Volume reported was lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliner by a very narrow margin on the NYSE and by almost a 4-3 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership improved as there were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 5 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have shown distributional action indicative of a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors. Always stand ready to protect against losses.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The market seemed to be helped by the latest inflation data, which was cooler-than-expected on a month-over-month basis (actual 0.2% versis the expected 0.3%). Total PPI still accelerated to 2.1% in March from 1.6% in February. The 10-yr note yield settled two basis points higher at 4.58% and the 2-yr note yield declined one basis point to 4.96%. There was weak demand for the latest $22 billion 30-yr Treasury bond sale.
Five of the S&P 500 sectors registered gains while six declined. The financials sector was the worst performer, dropping -0.6%, in front of earnings news due tomorrow. A loss in shares of Morgan Stanley (MS -5.25%) came after The Wall Street Journal indicated its wealth unit is being investigated by federal regulators.

Quietly Consolidating Near 50-Day Moving Average Line
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
ServiceNow Inc (NOW +$2.15 or +0.28% to $771.34) posted a small gain with light volume, finding support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It remains perched within striking distance of its pivot point cited based on its 2/09/24 high. Recent lows define important near-term support to watch where more damaging losses would raise greater concerns.
The Computer Software - Enterprise group is currently ranked 61st on the 197 Industry Groups list with a Group Relative Strength Rating of B+ (69). NOW was highlighted in yellow in the 2/22/24 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 3/20/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "NOW Quietly Rebounded Above 50-Day Moving Average Line".
NOW has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +36% on +26% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) of the fact-based investment system. Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 3,287 in Mar '23 to 3,864 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight accumulation over the past 50 days. |

Y - Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/04/24 high plus 10 cents. Volume totals have been cooling while hovering in a tight range near its all-time high. Volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($291) defines near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Y - Posted a solid gain today with average volume for a best-ever close. Highlighted yellow in the 4/04/24 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 2/09/24 high plus 10 cents. Initial support is at its prior highs and its 50 DMA line ($622). Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +59% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $866 level.
