PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

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 Monday as investors digested quarterly earnings releases and increased deal activity. On the data front, Markit’s survey of U.S. manufacturing expanded to 53.2 in October, above analyst expectations. In Fed news, St. Louis President James Bullard stated low interest rates will likely be the norm during the next two to three years.

Eight of 11 sectors in the S&P 500 finished in positive territory. In earnings, T-Mobile (TMUS +9.50%) after the company raised its forward revenue guidance. Kimberly-Clark Corp (KMB -4.74%) as the consumer products maker missed Wall Street profit forecasts. On the M&A front, B/E Aerospace (BEAV +16.36%) after agreeing to a $6.4 billion takeover offer from Rockwell Collins (COL -6.22%). Time Warner (TWX -3.06%) fell as the media giant agreed to be acquired by AT&T (T -1.68%) for $85.4 billion. Finally, TD Ameritrade (AMTD -4.37%) fell with news the online brokerage will purchase Scottrade Financial for $4 billion.

Treasuries declined along the curve with the benchmark 10-year note down 8/32 to yield 1.76%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude lost 0.5% to $50.57/barrel. COMEX gold was off 0.3% to $1262.00/ounce.

G - Rebounding near its 50 DMA line ($62.88) with today's gain on light volume. A new pivot point was cited based on its 9/06/16 high, however a rally above the 50 DMA line and convincing volume-driven gains above the pivot point are still needed to trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal.

Y - Challenging its 52-week high with today's 2nd consecutive big gain backed by above average volume. Previously noted - "Subsequent volume-driven gains above its pivot point are still needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Support is defined by the recent low in the $46 area. Reported earnings +110% on +61% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, and prior quarterly earnings were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). See the latest FSU analysis for additional details and an annotated graph."
