PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 2 points to 1,7612, breaking a 6 session winning streak.

The major averages erased earlier losses to finish mixed, snapping a streak of record highs for the Dow and S&P 500.The S&P 500 was 1 point lower to 2038. The NASDAQ bucked the trend and gained 14 points to 4,675.

 Investors weighed corporate profits and central bank activity. Macy's (M +5.1%) rose after the company's quarterly sales results exceeded estimates. Cisco (CSCO -0.2%) was slightly lower ahead of its earnings announcement after the close. In Europe ECB President Mario Draghi said stimulus measures may not be enough to boost economic growth. Meanwhile both the Bank of England and German officials separately lowered their growth forecasts.

At the close six of 10 sectors in the S&P 500 were in positive territory. Telecom stocks were a relative outperformer as Verizon (VZ +0.4%) edged higher. Utilities were down the most as Exelon (EXC -3.4%) fell. Financials were under pressure. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -1.3%) and Citigroup (C -0.7%) fell after reports that European regulators fined both banks.

Treasuries finished lower, following an auction of $24 billion in 10-year notes. The benchmark 10-year security fell 1/32 to yield 2.37%. In commodities WTI crude on the NYMEX declined -1.5% to $76.80 per barrel.

Large gains on 10/21/14 backed by higher volume totals while leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) expanded met the definition of a "follow-through day" confirming a new uptrend for the market (M criteria). The S&P 500 Index, Nasdaq Composite Index, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average have collectively rebounded above their respective 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, technically putting the market in a healthier stance.

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.64%) was a positive influence on the major averages, however other industry groups provided little help. Financial shares had a slightly negative bias as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.11%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.05%) ended slightly in the red. The Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.09%) and the Networking Index ($NWX +0.22%) both posted small gains while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.10%) finished with a small loss. Energy-related shares fell as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.94%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.86%) both lost ground, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.24%) also edged lower.
