Breadth Positive as Major Averages Finally Bounce
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 jumped 1.8%, rebounding from its lowest level since mid-July in its best session in nearly a month. The Dow gained 435 points, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced 2.1%, with the tech-heavy index snapping a seven-day losing streak which was its worst run since November 2016. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 4 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up from zero on the prior 5 sessions. New 52-week lows totals still solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is now under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The NYSE Composite Index rebounded toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after a streak of 7 consecutive losses. Its rebound met resistance well below its 200 DMA line.
U.S. equities finished higher Wednesday as investors weighed a drop in oil prices and continued to assess the future path of monetary policy. Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in positive territory, with Energy the sole declining group.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell 5.5% to $82.11/barrel, below the psychologically important $85 level and a trough not seen since January. Weak economic data from China as a result of their ongoing COVID-19 policies has been overpowering tight global supply conditions. In FOREX trading, a gauge of the U.S. dollar retreated 0.6% after ascending to a new all-time high earlier.
Meanwhile, Treasuries recouped some of yesterday’s losses. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note slid seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.27%, while the 30-year bond yield dropped eight basis points (0.08%) to 3.41% after yesterday notching its highest level since 2014. In central bank news, market participants absorbed a slew of commentary from various Federal Reserve (Fed) officials. Among them, Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard reiterated that the central bank is committed to fight inflation for as long as necessary, but acknowledged that risks associated with overtightening could emerge in the future. Separately, the Fed’s Beige Book indicated that activity in many regions had stagnated despite moderating price pressures, noting that the growth outlook remains weak for the U.S economy going forward.

Consolidating Near Prior Highs and Above 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Quanta Services Inc (PWR +$2.17 or +1.55% to $142.43) has been consolidating near its pivot point. Confirming volume-driven gains for new highs would be a reassuring sign of serious institutional buying demand that could lead to a sustained and meaningful advance. Fundamentals remain strong. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines important near-term support to watch.
PWR was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/20/22 high plus 10 cents in the 7/28/22 mid-day report (read here). It has only slumped and then churned higher volume since last shown in greater detail on 8/16/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Stalled After Breakout But Still Quietly Hovering Near High".
It has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating. Jun '22 quarterly earnings rose +45% on +41% sales revenues versus the year ago period, its 4th quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.
The company hails from the Building - Heavy Construction industry group which is currently ranked 127th on the 197 Industry Groups list with a Group Relative Strength Rating of C-. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,202 in Sep '21 to 1,518 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has 143.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria).

Y - Finding support today near its 50 DMA line ($36.63) but it has been sputtering back below the pivot point and into the prior base. Confirming gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume would be a reassuring sign of fresh institutional buying.
