Breadth Negative and Volume Rose as Major Indices Lost Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Stocks finished lower on Tuesday. The Dow fell 49 points to 17082. The S&P 500 lost 13 points to 2003. The NASDAQ declined 42 points to 4796. The volume totals were reported higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a clear sign of more selling pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by 11-4 on the NYSE and 5-2 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership contracted as there were 37 stocks that made it onto the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 49 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made a new 52-week high. New 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were losses for all 6 high-ranked companies currently on the Featured Stocks Page. , a disproportionately negative bias versus that of the broader market.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial has recently rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and also rallied above its prior highs. Near-term resistance to watch is at its July lows and its 200 DMA line.

The S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq Composite Index have rebounded above their respective 50 DMA lines. Solid follow-through gains for the major indices established a new confirmed uptrend (M criteria). However, all 3 major averages remain well below their 200-day moving average lines. Members have been repeatedly reminded in recent weeks that at least 2 of the 3 major indices should be trading above their respective 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in order for a market environment to be considered technically "healthy". Additional recovery work must be done to get the indices back into healthy shape, and that improvement could require some considerable time and patience.

The major averages retreated as soft import data out of China rekindled global uncertainty. The report sent the MSCI All-Country World Index to a lower finish for the first time in 10 days. M&A news dominated the headlines on our shores, while the lone domestic data release showed that small business optimism unexpectedly grew in September.

In corporate news, Anheuser-Busch Inbev (BUD +2.10%) after reports that SABMiller (SBMRF +4.91%) agreed in principle to a $104 billion takeover offer. Molson Coors (TAP +9.94%) surged in sympathy with the news. In earnings, Johnson and Johnson (JNJ -0.56%) fell after beating earnings forecasts but missing on revenue.

All ten sectors in the S&P 500 moved lower on the session. Healthcare and industrial stocks declined more than 1% each to lead the losses while the telecom sector was the most resilient on the day.

Treasuries gained strength after the news out of China. The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note advanced 12/32 higher to yield 2.04%.

Commodities were mostly lower. WTI crude lost 1.2% to $46.52/barrel while COMEX gold added 0.1% to $1164.50/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar index ebbed 0.1% as the greenback gave ground against the yen and euro.

Consolidating After Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

Luxoft Holding Inc Cl A (LXFT -$1.73 or -2.62% to $64.25) pulled back on slightly higher volume today, slumping near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($63.38). It remains perched within close striking distance of prior highs. Little resistance remains due to overhead supply however it has not formed a sound base. It was last shown in this FSU section on 9/30/15 with an annotated graph under the headline, " Volume-Driven Gain and Rebound Above 50-Day Moving Average Line ". Prior reports cautioned members - "Faces little resistances due to overhead supply, however, its deep "V" shaped consolidation is not recognized as a sound base. It found prompt support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line on 8/24/15 after violating its 50 DMA line."

LXFT was first highlighted in yellow with a pivot point cited based on its 4/23/15 high plus 10 cents in the 5/26/15 mid-day report (read here). The high-ranked Computer Software firm reported earnings +36% on +32% sales revenues for the Jun '15 quarter, continuing its strong quarterly and annual earnings history (C and A criteria) matching the guidelines of the fact-based investment system. Sales revenues growth has been strong while it reported earnings +32%, +23%, +50%, and +28% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '14 and Mar '15 quarters versus the year ago periods.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 185 in Jun '14 to 276 in Jun '15, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. However, its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. Its small supply of only 30.3 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
