Major Indices Ended Solidly Down With Breadth Turning Negative
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Thursday was a solidly down day for the S&P 500 (-0.8%), Nasdaq Composite (-0.7%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (-1.3%), and Russell 2000 (-1.9%) as each closed near their session low. Volume was lower than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 96 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 127 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that has been encountering pressure (M criteria). Remember that any uptrend requires healthy leadership and it remains important for a countining flow of stocks hitting new highs.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered a 2nd consecutive loss, retreating from its all-time high.
The health care (-2.3%), financial (-1.3%), and consumer discretionary sector (-1.3%) sectors were laggards while the energy sector (+0.3%) was alone in positive territory. Apple (AAPL -2.05%), Microsoft (MSFT -0.71%), and Amazon.com (AMZN -2.22%) were among the influential losers due to ongoing profit-taking activity. Domino's Pizza (DPZ -13.57%) had the steepest decline among S&P 500 components after reporting earnings. A solid earnings-related gain in D.R. Horton (DHI +10.10%) drove it and other homebuilder stocks quickly higher.
The weekly jobless claims report showed a sizable increase in initial claims. The 10-yr note yield settled four basis points higher at 4.19% and the 2-yr note yield settled three basis points higher at 4.46%.

Y - Pulled back today with below-average volume after hitting a new all-time high on the prior session. Found support while consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($71.50). Do not be confused as shares split 5:1 (Featured Price and Pivot Point were adjusted). Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/15/24 high plus 10 cents as it was noted - " Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal."

Y - Pulling back today for a 2nd consecutive volume-driven loss testing its 50 DMA line after quietly touching a new all-time high. Repeatedly noted - "A gain backed by at least +40% above average volume and a close above the new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/24 high plus 10 cents may trigger a proper technical buy signal. Important support is at its 50 DMA line ($54.60)."
