Nasdaq Death Cross and Breadth Negative as Indices Finish Higher
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks advanced on Tuesday. The Dow added 108 points to 24,748, while the S&P 500 was up 8 points to 2,682. The Nasdaq Composite gained less than a point to close at 7,082. The volume totals session were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 5 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 6 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the major indices (M criteria) are still in a correction. Disciplined investors will remain patient and watch for a convincing follow-through day to confirm a new rally before any new buying efforts are justified under the fact-based investment system's rules. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite posted a second consecutive gain. Recently it undercut the October low. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line has undercut its 200 DMA line, an ominous bearish signal which has been termed a "death cross" by technical analysts.
The major averages finished higher as investors digested a series of conflicting reports on the state of trade negotiations between the U.S. and China. On the data front, a report showed U.S. consumer confidence eased slightly from an 18-year high in September. Separately, a report showed U.S. home prices increased at the slowest pace in nearly two years in September.
Eight of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory with Health Care and Consumer Staples shares outperforming. Microsoft (MSFT +0.63) became the most valuable publically traded company in the world, as the company’s market capitalization rose above that of Apple (AAPL -0.22%). Materials lagged as the Bloomberg Commodity Index fell to its lowest level since June 2017. COMEX gold declined 0.7% to $1,213.60, while copper and silver prices both dipped more than 1%. Industrials also lagged, with United Technologies (UTX -4.14%) down after announcing it will split into three independent companies.
Treasuries were essentially unchanged, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note finishing at 3.06% after Fed Vice Chair Clarida emphasized the importance of the FOMC being “data dependent.” |

Quietly Sputtering Below Important Moving Averages
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Globus Medical Inc Cl A (GMED -$0.08 or -0.16% to $50.73) has seen volume totals cooling while it has failed to rebound and it has met resistance at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. It remains only -12.3% off its all-time high, but more damaging losses below the recent low ($49.03 on 11/20/18) would raise serious concerns. The longer it lingers below its 200 DMA line ($51.91) and its 50 DMA line ($52.87) the worse its outlook gets.
A rebound above those moving average lines and subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by more than +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a technical buy signal. Additionally, any new buying efforts are discouraged until a follow-through day confirms a new market rally (M criteria).
GMED was last shown in this FSU section on 11/05/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating -5.2% Off 52-Week High Ahead of Earnings News". Afterward it reported earnings +30% on +12% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. its 3rd strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been steady.
The Medical - Products firm has technology to treat patients with spine disorders. It was first highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/06/18 high plus 10 cents in the 9/26/18 mid-day report (read here).
It has 98.5 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top rated funds owning its shares rose from 451 in Sep '17 to 526 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its 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.

Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

Its 200 DMA line ($95.48) defines the next important support. A rebound above the 50 DMA line ($118.23) is needed for its outlook to improve.

Y - There was a "negative reversal" on the prior session after hitting a new high, action indicative of distributional pressure. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/12/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/23/18 mid-day report (read here) and repeatedly noted - "A gain and strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a technical buy signal. However, new buying efforts in all stocks are discouraged under the fact-based investment system until a new confirmed market rally (M criteria) is noted. Earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Sep '18 have been above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been good after turning a profitable FY '15. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and an annotated graph."
