Breadth Negative as Major Indices Suffer More Damaging Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average logged a 1.2% decline, the S&P 500 fell 1.5%, the Nasdaq Composite slid 1.6%, and the Russell 2000 closed with a 1.9% loss. Volume reported was mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 19 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and 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 600 Small Cap Index is slumping below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
Heightened geopolitical uncertainty contributed to the market's sell-off. Concerns were related to reports that Iran could soon attack Israel. Oil prices moved higher ($85.58/bbl, +0.58, +0.7%) on worries about supply disruptions. Global growth concerns were also raised as China reported weaker-than-expected exports (-7.5% yr/yr) and imports (-1.9% yr/yr) for March.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors registered declines ranging from -0.7% (utilities) to -1.8% (materials). The Q1 earnings reporting period started on a weak note as JP Morgan Chase (JPM -6.47%) CEO Jamie Dimon made cautious-sounding macro comments. Citigroup (C -1.70%) and Wells Fargo (WFC -0.39%) also logged declines after their earnings results. The 2-yr note yield fell nine basis points to 4.88%. The 10-yr note yield declined eight basis points to 4.50%.

Pulling Back From High and Slumping Toward 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Paccar (PCAR -$0.72 or -0.61% to $118.16) has been pulling back from its all-time high after getting very extended from any sound base. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($114.41) defines near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.
Bullish action has continued after it reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +53% on +11% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 9th quarterly comparison with better than the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). There was a downturn in FY' 20 annual earnings (A criteria) like many companies during the pandemic. PCAR has a 95 Earnings Per Share rating.
PCAR was highlighted in yellow in the 1/23/24 mid-day report (read here). Its gain backed by +153% above average volume for a new 52-week high cleared the pivot point based on its 12/13/23 high plus 10 cents triggering a technical buy signal. It was last shown in detail on 3/21/24 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Hit New High With 5th Consecutive Gain".
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,052 in Mar '23 to 2,215 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of C+. |

G - Slumping further after a damaging gap down today violating its 50 DMA line ($281.55) and an upward trendline connecting its October-March lows triggering technical sell signals. Color code was changed to green. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve.

Y - Pausing today after touching a new high on the prior session with a 5th consecutive gain marked by ever-increasing volume. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/04/24 high plus 10 cents. A gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume is needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($296) defines near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Pulled back today with below-average volume. 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 ($623). 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.
