Lighter Volume Totals as Major Indices Suffered Bigger Losses
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 643 points, while the broader S&P 500 retreated 2.1%, with both indexes weathering their steepest single-session drops since June 16. The latter remains more than 12.8% above its mid-June low, though failed to reclaim its 200-day moving average (a closely watched technical level) last week. The Nasdaq Composite fell 2.6% for its worst day in nearly a month amid weakness in tech shares. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 15 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs, so the recent improvement in leadership was a reassuring sign.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index suffered a big loss Monday with lighter volume. Its rebound stalled well below its downward sloping 200-day moving average (DMA) line.
U.S. stocks finished firmly lower on Monday as Wall Street’s summer rally stalled amid jitters over monetary policy tightening. Investors struck a perceived risk-off tone, looking toward the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Jackson Hole central bank forum later this week. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is slated to speak on Friday, with market participants widely expecting his comments to skew hawkish, reiterating the need for further interest rate hikes to tame inflation.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Consumer Discretionary, Technology, and Communication Services all leading the downturn. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) broke out of its recent trading range to a peak not seen in three weeks.
Growth-related pockets of the market were particularly under pressure as the yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped six basis points (0.06%) to 3.03%, its highest level in a month. A gauge of the U.S. dollar spiked 0.7% to a fresh five-week high on the heels of its best week since April 2020 (+2.1%). In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude slipped 0.6% to $90.23/barrel as lingering recessionary concerns weighed on the outlook for demand. |

Retail, Financial, and Tech Indexes Led Broad Market Pullback
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -3.02%) and financials created a drag on the major averages as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.09%) and Bank Index ($BKX -2.29%) each lost ground. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.72%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -2.44%) also suffered a big loss and the Biotech Index ($BTK -1.42%) followed with a smaller loss. Commodity-linked groups were quieter as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.66%) edged lower while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.01%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.14%) both were little changed.
PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -3.02%) met resistance near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and has slumped.

Pulling Back From All-Time High After Volume-Driven Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Carlisle Cos Inc (CSL -$4.94 or -1.58% to $307.33) pulled back from its all-time high with near average volume behind today's second consecutive loss. It has been noted as very extended from the previously noted base. Prior highs in the $275 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks.
Bullish action continued since highlighted in yellow in the 7/28/22 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 5/04/22 high plus 10 cents. It was last shown in detail in this FSU section on 8/02/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Carlisle Perched at All-Time High After Noted Breakout".
CSL has a 97 Earnings Per Share Rating. It recently reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +185% on +57% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th very strong quarter well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history included a small downturn in FY '20 that was previously noted.
There are 51.7 million shares outstanding, which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 772 in Sep '21 to 827 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line would help its outlook improve. Met stubborn resistance in the $57 area after reporting Jun '22 quarterly earnings +54% on +45% sales revenues versus the year ago period.

Most Recent Note - 8/19/2022 12:23:26 PM
G - Color code is changed to green due to fundamental concerns while pulling back today for a 4th consecutive loss marked by above average volume, encountering distributional pressure since reaching a new all-time high. Reported Jul '22 quarterly earnings +16% on +18% sales revenues versus the year ago period, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Renewed strength and subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to clinch a technical buy signal.
