Major Indices Fall as Distributional Pressure Brings Technical Damage
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow shed 725 points, weathering its steepest one-day sell-off since October. The S&P 500 retreated 1.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.1%, their worst sessions since May. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 22 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 22 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in an uptrend that has come under pressure. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from its record high and violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line raising concerns with a big loss on heavier volume.

U.S. stocks finished broadly lower on Monday, as a spike in COVID-19 cases dented sentiment and dampened global economic recovery prospects. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX)--Wall Street’s so-called “fear gauge”--jumped to the highest level in two months.

Perceived safe haven assets caught a bid, with a gauge of the U.S. dollar rising 0.2% while Treasuries rallied. The yield on the 10-year note dropped 10 basis points to 1.19%, a new five-month low. On the data front, a measure of homebuilder sentiment unexpectedly fell to its worst point in 11 months in July. WTI crude sank 7.6% to $66.33/barrel, its biggest single-session sell-off since September. Oil prices were pressured by economic growth concerns, along with news that OPEC+ struck a deal to boost supply in the coming months.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the more cyclical-oriented groups faring the worst. Industries tied to economic reopenings also bore the brunt of the selling, with airline and cruise line operators among the laggards. In M&A news, cloud-based customer service software company Five9 (FIVN +5.92%) bucked the downtrend after agreeing to be acquired by Zoom Video Communications (ZM -2.15%) for $14.7 billion.

Simmering U.S.-China tensions also weighed on the mood, with the U.S., U.K., and their allies formally blaming China for the Microsoft Exchange cybersecurity attack that occurred earlier this year.

Managed a Positive Reversal After Early Weakness
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Shopify Inc Cl A (SHOP +$29.38 or +2.04% to $1,472.01) managed a "positive reversal" today after early weakness. There were negative reversals noted on 7/07/21 after hitting a new high and again on 7/14/21. A new pivot point was recently cited based on its 6/21/21 high while building on a cup-with-high-handle base. However, it did not produce confirming gains with at least +40% above average volume for new highs which are needed to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Subsequent gains would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying demand that might lead to a more substantial leg higher.

SHOP was last shown in the FSU section on 6/16/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Rebounding After Choppy 4-Month Consolidation". Its Relative Strength Rating of 86 is above the 80+ minimum guideline for buy candidates.

Keep in mind it is due to report Jun '21 quarterly results on 7/28/21. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. SHOP reported Mar '21 quarterly earnings +958% on +110% sales revenues versus the year ago period, continuing its strong earnings track record. Prior quarters showed big earnings increases well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) with very strong underlying sales revenues growth. After years of losses it had strong earnings growth in FY '17-19 (A criteria).

The Ontario, Canada-based Computer Software - Enterprise firm saw the number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 1,151 in Sep '19 to 1,971 in Jun '21 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has an A Timeliness rating and an A Sponsorship Rating. There are 116.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria) which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
