There were 11 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 4 on the prior session.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index recently met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line then slumped near prior lows this week.

Recent deterioration in the charts of the major averages (M criteria) and evaporating leadership (fewer stocks hitting new highs) are signs that the uptrend is under pressure. The S&P 500 Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance near their respective 50 DMA lines and abruptly retreated near prior lows.  ThFeatured Stocks Page lists noteworthy high-ranked leaders.

The major averages advanced on the session amid commentary from Fed Chair Janet Yellen and an optimistic start to third-quarter earnings season. In prepared remarks, Yellen stated it’s useful to consider the benefits of a “high-pressure economy.” On the earnings front, 58% of the 34 companies in the S&P 500 reporting have topped revenue predictions, while 79% have exceeded profit projections. In economic news, retail sales rose 0.6% in September, in-line with expectations. In a separate report, producer prices ticked up 0.3% last month.

Six of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory. Financials stocks outperformed with Citigroup (C +0.29%) inched higher as bond-trading revenue surged 35% year-over-year. JP Morgan (JPM -0.32%) inched lower despite the investment bank reporting double-digit gains in deposits and loans. In Tech, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD +4.01%) rose amid reports the company will collaborate with Alibaba (BABA -0.29%) to use chips in cloud service. Twitter (TWTR -5.12%) was a notable decliner with news Salesforce.com (CRM +5.15%) is no longer interested in bidding for the social media giant.

Treasuries finished lower with the benchmark 10-year note down 15/32 to yield 1.79%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude slipped 0.1% to $50.40/barrel. In FOREX, the Dollar Index gained 0.5%.
