Indices Were Mixed as Dow Transports Hit a New Record High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 36 points, while the S&P 500 slipped 0.5%, erasing early session gains in the final hour of trading. More cyclical-oriented stocks outperformed, with the Dow Jones Transportation Average closing at a record level for the first time in two years. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1.3% amid weakness in Tech-focused shares. The reported volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals easily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have seen their uptrend recently come under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so recent improvement in the new highs totals has been a reassuring sign.
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average halted its slide at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after a spurt of losses marked by higher volume.
Stocks finished mixed on Wednesday as investors weighed the latest Federal Reserve policy decision. The central bank signaled an intent to keep rates in the near zero-bound range until at least 2023 and reiterated plans to utilize its full range of tools to support the economic recovery.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with the Technology group declining the most. Energy shares outperformed amid an uptick in oil prices. WTI crude climbed 4.8% to $40.12/barrel after a government release revealed a surprise drawdown in U.S. crude stockpiles in the latest week. In earnings, FedEx (FDX +5.76%) rose after its profit tally exceeded even the highest analyst estimate.
On the data front, consumer spending slowed in August, with retail sales rising 0.6%, missing estimates of a 1% advance. Separately, a gauge of homebuilder sentiment jumped to an all-time high in September. Treasuries ended lower, with the yield on the 10-year note up one basis point to 0.69%.
Conflicting COVID-19 headlines also garnered attention. The CDC suggested the U.S. could realistically have enough vaccines to return to “regular life” by the third quarter of next year, while the Department of Health and Human Services and President Trump offered more optimistic timetables. |

Met Resistance at 50 DMA Line and Reversed Today
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Netflix Inc (NFLX -$12.13 or -2.45% to $483.86) reversed into the red after meeting resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($501.38). Subsequent gains back above the 50 DMA line are needed for its outlook to improve. The prior low ($466.55 on 8/11/20) defines the next important chart support level where a violation would raise serious concerns and trigger a more worrisome technical sell signal.
Since NFLX was last shown in this FSU section on 9/03/20 its Accumulation/Distribution Rating has slumped from C+ top D+. On 9/03/20 it was shown with an annotated graph under the headline,"Pulling Back After Best Ever Close on Tuesday". It has traded up as much as +46.2% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/03/20 high plus 10 cents in the 4/13/20 mid-day report (read here).
Fundamentals remain strong. NFLX has been consolidating after reporting Jun '20 earnings +165% on +25% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It has tallied 4 consecutive quarterly comparisons well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). A previously noted downturn in FY '15 earnings (A criteria) has been followed by very strong growth. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares (I criteria) rose from 1,534 in Mar '17 to 2,790 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. The company has 423.4 million shares in the public float (S criteria) which can make it a less likely sprinter. It has a Timeliness rating of A, a Sponsorship rating of B.

Y - Reversed into the red and closed at the session low with a big loss on heavy volume. Encountered distributional pressure and had a "negative reversal on 9/10/20. Since finding support at its 10 week-moving average (WMA), a valid secondary buy point exists up to 5% above the latest high. Subsequent losses violating its 50 DMA line ($463) may trigger a technical sell signal. Disciplined investors always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than 7-8% from their purchase price. Reported Aug '20 quarterly earnings +25% on +14% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. This well-known Computer Software - Desktop firm has produced 4 consecutive quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong and steady.

G - Hit a new all-time high with today's 5th consecutive gain clearing previously stubborn resistance in the $221 area. Found prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($206.77) after volume-driven losses. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. Recently reported Jun '20 quarterly earnings -3% on +4% sales revenues, below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but better than expected while the company also raised its guidance.
