Major Averages Slump With Higher Volume Institutional Selling

All three major averages erased earlier gains, with the S&P 500 shedding 1.2%. The broad benchmark snapped a seven-month winning streak with its worst monthly performance since March 2020 (-4.8%), but still eked out a sixth consecutive quarterly gain (+0.2%). The Dow slid 546 points, posting its worst monthly showing since October 2020 (-4.3%) and extending its quarterly loss to 1.9%. The Nasdaq Composite lost 0.4% to cap a 5.3% slump in September and 0.4% decline for the quarter. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of greater institutional selling pressure termed "distribution".  Advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE while decliners outnumbered advancers by about 5-4 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 22 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered by new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) have seen their uptrend come under pressure, and further weakness may signal a more serious market correction.  Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped again with higher volume after meeting resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
 
U.S. stocks ended firmly lower on Thursday as the volatility experienced for much of September extended into the final session of the third quarter. Developments on Capitol Hill were in focus, with both chambers of Congress passing a bill to avert a government shutdown ahead of a midnight deadline. However, progress is still needed to avoid the projected mid-October debt ceiling limit. Treasuries stabilized, with the 10-year note yield off one basis point to 1.52%, still near its highest level since mid-June. On the data front, weekly initial jobless claims unexpectedly climbed for a third straight week to 362,000, while a final update on second-quarter U.S. GDP was upwardly revised to a 6.7% annualized growth rate.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with eight groups falling more than 1%. The Information Technology and Communication Services outperformed on a relative basis as growth-related names attempted to rebound from a recent underperformance inspired by a spike in Treasury yields. In commodities, WTI crude gained 0.3% to $75.03/barrel. COMEX gold rallied 2.3% to $1755.20/ounce as a gauge of the U.S. dollar eased from a one-year peak.

Gold & Silver and Biotech Indexes Rose

Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -1.64%) and slumping financial indexes weighed on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.64%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.66%) fell. The tech sector was mixed as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.18%) and Networking Index ($NWX -0.75%) both ended lower while the Biotech Index ($BTK +0.49%) eked out a modes gain. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.62%) posted a solid gain while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.92%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.48%) both pulled back. 
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.92%) found support near the April low and recently rebounded above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines.

Violation of 50-Day Moving Average Line Triggered Sell Signal

A S M L Holding N.V. (ASML-$5.31 or -0.71% to $745.11) has been retreating abruptly from its all-time high and above average volume was behind today's 5th consecutive damaging loss. Only a prompt rebound above the 50 DMA line ($811.74) would help its outlook improve.

ASML traded up as much as +33.8% since it was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/26/21 high plus 10 cents in the 5/25/21 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in this FSU section on 8/11/21 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Semi Equipment Firm Extended From Any Sound Base".  

It reported Jun '21 quarterly earnings +49% on +28% sales revenues versus the year-ago period. The 5 latest quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history included a small downturn in FY '19. 

The Dutch Electronics - Semiconductor Equipment firm made an impressive rally from a deep slump in March.  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rise from 503 on Jun '20 to 696 in Jun '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. It has an Accumulation/Distribution rating of B and a Timeliness rating of B. It has a large supply (S criteria) of 419 million shares outstanding which make it less likely to be a quick sprinter.

G - With today's loss on higher (near average) volume it slumped further below its 50 DMA line ($477) which is now downward sloping. Recent damaging losses raised concerns. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. After forming an advanced "3-weeks tight" base, it did not produce the subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume needed to clinch a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal.
