Breadth Negative as Major Averages Lost Ground
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The Dow lost 482 points, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.9%. The S&P 500 slid 1.8%. Volume totals were mixed, higher than the prior session on the NYSE and slightly lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by nearly a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 41 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The market is in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Healthy leadership (new 52-week highs totals) has continued helping the rally be productive. Only stocks meeting all key-criteria of the fact-based investment system should be considered as buy candidates.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has slumped back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line with 3 consecutive losses since posting a big volume-driven gain on 11/30/22.

U.S. equities finished lower Monday after the service-sector and factory output data came in stronger-than-expected, suggesting the economy has stayed resilient against the Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes. The finalized November reading for the S&P Global US Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and Composite PMI both increased by 0.1 from the prior month to 46.2 and 46.4, respectively. October’s Factory Orders topped analyst expectations with an 1% increase. Meanwhile, November’s Institute of Supply Management (ISM) Service Index came in hotter-than-expected at 56.5, topping estimates of 53.5. Today’s strong readings have pivoted investors’ hopes on the Fed slowing its pace on future rate hikes.

Treasury yields finished higher. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note increased eleven basis points (0.11%) to 3.59%, while the 30-year bond yield gained seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.60%. The yield on the two-year note settled fourteen basis points (0.14%) higher at 4.40%. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude declined 3.3% to $77.37/barrel after the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies (OPEC+) announced their plans Sunday to keep production at its current levels through 2023. In other news today, the European Union started its ban on Russian crude oil while the Group of seven (G7) imposed their price cap on Russian oil at $60/barrel. The U.S. Dollar Index increased 0.7% after market participants speculated the Fed may not be able to pivot to slower rate hikes following today’s better-than-expected data.

Retail, Financial, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam

The tech sector also had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.20%), Networking Index ($NWX -1.79%), and Biotech Index ($BTK -1.95%) each lost ground.

Big Loss Testing Support at 50-Day Moving Average
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Cross Country Healthcare (CCRN -$1.72 or -4.69% to $34.92) suffered a loss today with higher (near average) volume while testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($33.54). More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal.

CCRN has a 99 Earnings Per Share Rating, the highest possible. Recently it reported Sep '22 quarterly earnings +75% on +70% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarterly comparisons showed strong sales revenues and earnings increases. Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been strong since a downturn in FY '17 and '18.

CCRN was highlighted yellow with pivot point cited based on its 7/21/22 high plus 10 cents in the 9/09/22 mid-day report (read here). It was last shown in greater detail on 11/08/22 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Consolidating Above Prior Highs and Above 50-Day Moving Average".

The company has only 37.3 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 326 in Sep '21 to 408 in Sep '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.7 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.
