Breadth Decisively Negative as Major Averages Sank
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 505 points, while the S&P 500 shed 2.5%. The Nasdaq Composite fell 3.4%. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 36 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 51 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria) but encountering some new pressure. Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) will be essential in the near-term for the rally to be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back with higher volume for a 3rd consecutive loss, slumping back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. At its August peak it only traded a few days above the 200 DMA line. Strength to get and stay above the 200 DMA line would be a reassuring sign of a healthier market, while more deterioration could be a worrisome sign.
U.S. equities finished lower in volatile trading Wednesday as Wall Street digested the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) unanimous decision to raise interests rates by another 75 basis points (0.75%). In a statement following the announcement, officials boosted expectations for a downshift in the pace of rate hikes after stating they "will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation." While the Fed’s statement leaned dovish, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell took a more aggressive stance in his press conference. He reinforced expectations the pace of rate hikes could slow "as soon as the next meeting," but said it would be premature to pause as there is "a ways to go" until they reach their 2% inflation target. Powell also noted the terminal interest rate will most likely be higher than previously forecasted as strong data and stubborn inflation increase the need for more rate hikes.
While stocks initially climbed following the announcement, concerns over a higher terminal rate saw them turn lower. Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note up four basis points (0.04%) to 4.08%, while the 30-year bond yield climbed two basis points (0.02%) to 4.12%. The more Fed-sensitive two-year note yield jumped six basis points (0.06%) to 4.60%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude climbed 1.1% to $89.30/barrel amid renewed optimism over global demand. The U.S. Dollar Index reversed earlier losses to finish 0.5% higher. |

Commodity, Financial, Retail, and Tech Indexes Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -3.72%) created a big drag on the major averages as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.97%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.43%) also fell. The tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.09%), Networking Index ($NWX -3.27%), and the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.80%). The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -5.88%) was a standout decliner and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.88%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.12%) also slumped on the widely negative session.
PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.09%),has been living below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line since late August. Any technical improvement would be a reassuring sign for the current market uptrend.

Testing 50 Day Moving Average Line After Forming New Base
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Clean Harbors Inc (CLH -$2.25 or -1.85% to $119.22) encountered distributional pressure and finished with a loss today with twice average volume after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 9/12/22 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. It showed resilience since dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 9/26/22. Today's low and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($117) define important near-term support to watch.
Fundamentals remain strong after reporting Sep '22 quarterly earnings +113% on +43% sales revenues versus the year ago period. It has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99.Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.
There are only 54.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 624 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under slight distributional pressure over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of B.
