Indices Have Yet to Produce Confirming Follow-Through Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The major averages fell again on Wednesday's session. Volume totals were again reported mixed, slightly higher on the Nasdaq exchange and lower on the NYSE versus the prior session. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The total number of new 52-week lows exceeded new 52-week highs on both the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 13 stocks. However, at the close there were unanimous losses for all of the 14 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

Stocks extended their losses into the closing bell, struggling as U.S. economic data provided a mixed picture and European uncertainties continued to weigh on investors. All 10 sectors on the S&P ended in the red, led by sharp declines in the industrial and material sectors. Shares of U.S. Steel Corp (X -1.96%) and United Technologies Corp (UTX -1.09%) fell. Energy stocks were also under pressure as crude oil slid 95 cents to $82.37 per barrel. Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM -0.78%) and Transocean Ltd (RIG -1.87%) lost ground.

In other news, JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +1.57%) gained following CEO Jamie Dimon's testimony to the Senate Banking Committee. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley (MS -2.01%) and other influential financial shares faced pressure or finished the session with negligible gains. On the M&A front, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ +2.17%) rose after the company announced that it had received regulatory clearance to move forward with its $19 billion acquisition of Synthes.

In bondland, Treasuries were higher along the curve. The 10-year note was up 17 ticks to yield 1.60% and the 30-year bond gained over a point to yield 2.71%.

Technically, the major averages (M criteria) are still considered to be in a rally attempt within an ongoing correction, and stocks may still be vulnerable to greater downside. 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. Although we are beyond that most ideal window, subsequent gains of +1.4% or greater by at least one of the major indexes, backed by higher volume (preferably above average volume) and coupled with an expansion in the number of stocks hitting new highs, could still confirm the rally as long as the "Day 1" lows are not undercut. Only fresh technical proof may give fact-based investors the clearance to begin with new buying efforts strictly in sound buy candidates. Meanwhile, investors should keep up a watchlist of worthy buy candidates while remaining protective of capital.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is still awaiting confirming gains on higher volume after Day 8 of its rally attempt.

Energy, Tech, and Retail Indexes Ended Lower
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.03%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.72%) slumped against a backdrop of falling crude prices. The Networking Index ($NWX -1.55%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.06%), Internet Index ($IIX -1.00%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.42%) ended unanimously lower. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.29%) also lost ground. Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -1.52%) and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.24%) were a negative influence on the major averages, meanwhile the Bank Index ($BKX -0.16%) edged lower and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.01%) finished flat.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -0.16%) is consolidating after rebounding above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. A subsequent slump below that important long-term average and below recent lows would bode poorly for the broader market outlook. Financial shares have been a reliable "leading indicator" which regular readers have seen noted numerous times in past years.

New Pivot Point Cited While Contending With Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Whole Foods Market Inc (WFM -$1.41 or -1.54% to $89.90) traded heavy volume as it lost ground today, a sign of more distributional pressure. It has been churning above average volume near its 52-week high, making little progress above prior chart highs even while no resistance remains due to overhead supply. A new pivot point is being cited based on its 5/04/12 high plus 10 cents, and subsequent volume-driven gains may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria), so the outcome in the weeks ahead depends greatly on the major averages' ability to halt the current correction and produce a new confirmed rally with a solid follow-through day.

Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior lows define important near-term support, and subsequent violations would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals. The Retail - Super/Mini-Markets group has seen its Group Relative Strength Rating rise from 60 to 76 in the time since it was last shown in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 5/11/12 under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs After Breakaway Gap". Its considerable "breakaway gap" on 5/03/12 had cleared an orderly flat base pattern, but its subsequent slump below prior highs and its 50 DMA line completely negated the bullish breakout. Ongoing leadership from a couple of other high-ranked companies in the industry group provides some reassurance concerning the L criteria. Quarterly comparisons have shown strong earnings increases above the +25% guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings (A criteria) history has been improving since a downturn in FY '08. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,046 in Jun '11 to 1,202 in Mar '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
