The market (M criteria) is in a correction. A caution flag has been raised by the technical damage in the major indices coupled with a shrinking list of stocks hitting new highs. Disciplined investors know to raise cash by selling weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis, and to protect that cash by avoiding any new buys until a new rally is confirmed with a follow-through day.

Weakness Signals a More Worrisome Market Correction
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 139 points to end the week 4.1% lower. The S&P 500 shed 0.7%, notching a 4.8% weekly decline. Both benchmarks had their worst week since mid-June. The Nasdaq Composite fell 0.9% to finish the week 5.5% lower, its worst weekly drop since January. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by an 11-4 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership evaporated as there were zero 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 5 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals swelled and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market is now in a correction (M criteria).

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index undercut the prior low with a volume-driven loss and slumped back toward the June low.
U.S. equities fell on Friday as concerns about the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) aggressive monetary policy weighed on sentiment. In corporate news, FedEx Corp. (FDX -21.40%) gapped down for a considerable loss after withdrawing its full-year guidance and warning about the health of the global economy. The warning contributed to today’s sell-off, as it added to growing concerns over an impending recession.
On the data front, the University of Michigan’s preliminary September reading of expectations for one-year inflation hit their lowest level since September 2021, while expectations for long-term inflation hit their lowest print since July 2021. Treasuries were mixed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note steady at 3.45%, while the yield on the 30-year bond added four basis points (0.04%) to 3.51%. This week, the 10-year note yield and the 30-year bond yield climbed 13 basis points (0.13%) and six basis points (0.06%), respectively. The two-year note yield was little changed at 3.86%. The policy-sensitive two-year note yield climbed 30 basis points (0.30%) and notched its highest level since 2007. A gauge of the U.S. dollar closed 0.8% higher for the week, bolstered by the increased probability of an aggressive rate hike by the Fed. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 0.3% to $85.37/barrel, but ended 1.7% lower for the week amid demand woes. |

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.77%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.51%) both lost ground and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.87%) also created a drag on the major averages on Friday. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.53%) posted a small gain while the Networking Index ($NWX -0.69%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -1.02%) both fell. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -3.69%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.41%) both lost ground while the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.59%) edged higher.
PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX -0.87%) met resistance at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line in August and slumped below its 50 DMA line with this week's losses.

Found Support Above 50-Day Moving Average Line This Week
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cigna Corp (CI +$0.39 or +0.13% to $290.35) is consolidating above its 50 DMA line ($282.25) while perched near its all-time high hit this week. Earnings for the Jun '22 quarter rose +19% on +5% sales revenues versus the year ago period, breaking a streak of 3 quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. Still, CI has a 94 Earnings Per Share Rating. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 2,628 in Dec '21 to 2,866 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The Medical - Managed Care group is currently ranked 23rd on the 197 Industry Groups list and has a Group Relative Strength Rating of 88 (A+), a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.5 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
