Since Wednesday April 10th members of FACTBASEDINVESTING.COM were cautioned as a shift in conditions (M criteria) signaled a market "correction". Use greater caution, raise cash and reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis. New buying efforts will be avoided by disciplined investors until a solid follow-through day is noted confirming a new uptrend.

Breadth Negative and Indices Little Changed as Leadership Improves
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 Index finished nearly unchanged and the Nasdaq Composite Index gained 0.1%, meanwhile, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (-0.1%) and Russell 2000 (-0.4%) both ended lower. Volume reported was higher than the prior session total on the NYSE but lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 29 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new 52-week lows still outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.
PICTURED: The S&P 600 Small Cap Index paused after 4 consecutive gains, finding support above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and rebounding toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
The release of the Durable Orders report for March beat expectations. A positive response to earnings boosted Tesla (TSLA +12.06%) as the company acknowledgment that production of affordable models will begin in early 2025, if not late 2024, despite missing earnings and revenue estimates. Texas Instruments (TXN +5.64%) rose after suggesting that some industrial customers are nearing the end of an inventory correction cycle. Boeing (BA -2.87%) and Humana (HUM -3.66%) both fell following their quarterly results.
Seven of the S&P 500 sectors closed with a gain. Consumer staples (+0.9%) was the leading sector, meanwhile, the industrial sector saw the largest decline, down -0.8%.
The 10-yr note yield settled five basis points higher at 4.65% and the 2-yr note yield rose two basis points to 4.94%. A record-sized $70 billion 5-yr note offering met weaker demand than Tuesday's 2-yr note sale.

Financial and Tech Indexes Rose but Retail Index Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Bank Index ($BKX +0.39%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.61%) both posted modest gains, but the Retail Index ($RLX -1.32%) slumped and had a negative impact on the major indices. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.06%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.74%) both posted gains but the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.03%) finished flat. Commodity-linked groups were indecisive as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.15%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.09%), and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.24%) were little changed.
![]() PICTURED: The Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.09%) has recently been consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Fell Below 50-Day Moving Average Which May Act as Resistance
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Novo Nordisk (NVO -$2.48 or -1.93% to $126.16) pulled back and closed just below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($126.55) which may now act as resistance. The next near-term support to watch is prior lows in the $118 area. Its color code was changed to yellow while testing near the pivot point of the previously noted "3-weeks tight" base.
Keep in mind that this Denmark-based Medical - Ethical Drugs firm is due to report Mar '24 quarterly results on 5/02/24. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. NVO reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +68% on +41% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 4th strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth has been strong and steady. It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating, well above the 80+ minimum for buy candidates.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 372 in Dec '22 to 532 in Mar '24, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of B and an Accumulation/Distribution Rating of B+.
