Slump Below 50-Day Moving Average Raised Concerns

Netease Inc (NTES +$6.70 or +2.91% to $236.83) posted a second consecutive gain with light volume. A rebound above the 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($248) is needed for its outlook to improve. It suffered damaging losses with heavy volume since last shown in this FSU section on 10/21/16 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Very Extended From Base Following Additional Gains". 

Recently it reported earnings +40% on +32% sales revenues for the Sep '16 quarter. Those 
earnings results were above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria), but not as impressive as its reported earnings +89% on +83% sales revenues for the Jun '16 quarter, and ever stronger quarters prior. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong.

NTES traded up as much as +49.4% since highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 12/29/15 high plus 10 cents in the 6/29/16 mid-day report (read here).  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 467 in Jun '15 to 874 in Sep '16, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.3 is also an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
