New Rally Effort Awaits Confirmation Day of Gains With More Volume

The market's latest rally attempt remains intact after "Day 4" on Thursday failed to deliver the robust confirming gains disciplined fact-based investors anxiously await. Volume totals were reported lighter on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE versus the prior session's totals. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by nearly 3-2 on the NYSE, but advancers and decliners were evenly mixed on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs were still outnumbered by new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 14 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 8 stocks. Investors watching for a follow-through day in the days and weeks ahead should be aware that an expansion in the number of stocks hitting new 52-week highs is an important component to any new confirmed rally.  There were gains for 10 of the 20 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page, a list that recently has been shrinking.

 

The major averages moved lower after spending the morning essentially unchanged as new economic data failed to distract investor attention on Europe's debt crisis. Durable goods orders rose +0.2% in April, but declined -0.6% excluding transportation. The weekly initial jobless claims fell 2,000 to 370,000, in-line with consensus expectations.

Consumer stocks were helped by a gain in Ford Motor Co (F +1.73%) after the automaker's credit rating was raised to investment grade by Moody's. Positive earnings gave Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ +3.27%) got a boost after the PC maker reported better-than-expected results and announced job cuts. Tiffany & Co (TIF -6.81%) was down after the retailer reduced its full-year forecast. The Coca-Cola Co (KO +1.35%) rose following a positive article in Barron's. NetApp Inc (NTAP -12.29%) fell after lowering its outlook. VMware Inc (VMW -6.0%) fell warning growth could slow due to increased competition.

The major averages pared losses to finish mostly higher after Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti said a majority of leaders at a summit in Brussels backed a joint European bonds and that Greece is likely to keep the euro. European markets closed higher with the FTSE up +1.6% and the DAX up +0.5% despite continued concerns over Greece exiting the euro. The 10-year Treasury note was down 5/16 to yield 1.77%.

The S&P 500 Index held its ground after dipping at Wednesday's intra-day low to within 1 point of its 5/21/12 low (1,295.73). Historical studies suggest that the most constructive market rallies produced a solid follow-through day (FTD) between Days 4-7 of a new rally effort. The window is open for a new confirmed rally to present itself, and such technical proof may give fact-based investors the clearance to begin with new buying efforts only in sound candidates. Meanwhile, investors should keep up a watchlist of worthy buy candidates while remaining protective of capital.

PICTURED: Thursday marked "Day 4" of a new rally effort, and the rally attempt will remain intact for the Nasdaq Composite Index provided that its Day 1 low (2,774.76) is not undercut.  The major averages (M criteria) are technically still considered to be in a "correction" and stocks remain vulnerable to much greater downside. Ideally, a follow-through day (FTD) between Day 4-7 of additional confirming gains of +1.4% or greater by either the Nasdaq Composite Index or the S&P 500 Index, backed by higher volume, and coupled with an expansion in the number of stocks hitting new highs, would "confirm" a new rally.

Retail and Medical-Related Groups Posted Gains

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.62%) posted a gain, and medical related stocks had a positive bias as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.54%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.49%) tallied gains.  The tech sector lagged as the Networking Index ($NWX -1.65%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.46%), and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.41%) lost ground.  The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.29%) fell again while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.07%) barely ended above unchanged.  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.11%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.23%) edged higher, but the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.84%) lost ground.

Distributional Pressure a Problem After Limited Progress

Netease.com Inc (NTES -$1.78 or -2.98% to $57.92) suffered a small loss on light volume as it closed below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line again today. There were 2 losing sessions with above average volume after its big volume-driven gain on 5/17/12 for a new 52-week high. Prior analysis stated that the stock had not formed a sound base pattern. No overhead supply remains to act as resistance, however it has made only limited price progress above its 2011 highs in the $55 area in recent months, including a time when market action was more favorable. Recent lows near the $55 area define important near-term chart support to watch, where any violation could trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.

The heavy volume without meaningful price progress in recent weeks is a sign that it has been encountering distributional pressure.  Another concern is the waning number of top-rated funds owning its shares, which fell from 263 in Jun '11 to 257 in Mar '12, not a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  Fundamentals remain healthy as it reported earnings +33% on +36% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 versus the year ago period. Its good earnings history satisfies the C and A criteria.

Its last appearance in this FSU section was on 3/27/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Winning Streak Leaves Leader Extended Above "Max Buy" Level", after a streak of 4 consecutive volume-driven gains into new high territory above the $60 level. It was featured in yellow at $56.18 in the 3/19/12 mid-day report (read here) with a pivot point based on its 4/19/11 high plus 10 cents.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.

Y - Consolidating above its 50 DMA line today, and its color code is changed to yellow while no new pivot point is cited. Faces resistance in the $94-95 area, yet its technical stance and outlook improved with a gap up on news that Alexion will replace Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc in the S&P 500 Index at Thursday's close. Recent lows define near-term chart support well above its 200 DMA line. The M criteria remains an overriding concern until a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages confirms a new rally.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow after above average volume behind today's gain was a sign of prompt support near its 50 DMA line. Its prior loss had negated its recent technical breakout. Market weakness (M criteria) is an overriding concern that argues against new buying efforts until a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day by at least one of the major averages.

G - Promptly rebounded above its 50 DMA line today with a gain backed near average volume. It did not trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal in recent weeks. Market conditions (M criteria) argue against new buying efforts until a new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day by at least one of the major averages.

G - Gain today was backed by lighter than average volume as it found some support near its old highs and halted a streak of 5 consecutive losses since a negative reversal at its 52-week high. It has slumped below its "max buy" level, however broader market weakness (M criteria) is an overriding concern which argues against any new buying efforts until a new rally is confirmed with a solid follow-through day by at least one of the major averages.

G - Gain today with slightly higher above average volume was a sign of prompt support as it rebounded above its 50 DMA line following a streak of 5 consecutive losses which completely negated the latest breakout. It stalled following its considerable "breakaway gap" on 5/03/12, meanwhile the broader market (M criteria) fell into the latest correction.
