Indices Violate 50-Day Moving Average Lines and Leadership Evaporates

For the week, the Dow was down 2%, the S&P lost 1.9%, and the Nasdaq fell 2.1%. Stocks retreated on Friday. The Dow was down 394 points to 18085. The S&P 500 lost 53 points to 2127 and the Nasdaq Composite fell 133 points to 5125. Behind the losses the volume totals were much higher than the prior session on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange, a clear sign of distributional selling pressure from institutional investors. The major indices' charts had the worrisome look of a "correction", and the recently noted "healthy crop" of leading stocks abruptly dried up as very few stocks reached new 52-week highs. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a decisive 18-1 on the NYSE and 6-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership quickly evaporated as only 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 39 on the prior session, down abruptly from 71 on Wednesday. New 52-week highs totals continued contracting yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, and the highs/lows totals were even on the Nasdaq exchange.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index had heavier volume behind damaging losses violating its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Friday's technical damage for the market (M criteria) included both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the broader benchmark S&P 500 Index both decisively violating their respective 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. The Nasdaq Composite Index also violated its short-term average. In periods of market weakness the fact-based investment system suggests reducing exposure to stocks as they weaken and on a case-by-case basis. ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy candidates that have made headway.

The major averages sold-off the most since Brexit amid heightened speculation of a looming interest rate hike. Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren warned Friday that low interest rates are increasing the chance of overheating the U.S. economy, potentially risking financial stability. Separately, Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan stated the case for a hike has strengthened, but added the central bank can afford to be patient.

All 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. REITs, Telecom stocks and Utilities were the worst performers all retreating more than 3% on the session. In Energy, Williams Co (WMB -3.56%) fell with news rival pipeline company Enterprise Products Partners (EPP -2.37%) is no longer interested in a merger. Industrials declined with shares of Ingersoll-Rand (IR -6.39%) after being the subject of negative analyst commentary. In earnings, Finisar Corp (FNSR +12.79%) rallied as the company provided stronger-than-expected quarterly guidance. Restoration Hardware (RH +3.09%) rose after the luxury home goods retailer widely beat profit and sales expectations.

Treasuries finished firmly lower along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 21/32 to yield 1.67%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 3.7% to $45.88/barrel. COMEX gold fell 0.7% to $1328.90/ounce. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.4%.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 7/28/16 high plus 10 cents. Volume-driven gains for new highs may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal, meanwhile, it is quietly consolidating above the 50 DMA line ($63.84) which has acted as support in recent weeks. Subsequent losses leading to a violation may trigger a technical sell signal.
