Breadth Negative as Indices Fall But Finish Well Above Session Lows
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
On Monday, the Dow traded down as many as 401 points, yet rebounded to close 178 lower at 16027. The S&P 500 declined 27 points to 1853. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 79 points to 4283.63. Volume was reported higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicating an increase in selling pressure from the institutional crowd. Breadth was solidly negative as decliners led advancers by nearly a 4-1 margin on the NYSE and almost a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained thin as there were 6 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, up a notch from the prior session total. The total number of new 52-week lows expanded and easily outnumbered new highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index was down on higher volume, yet recovered from the session low after undercutting the 1/21/16 low. Damaging losses technically ended a brief rally.

Patience and strict discipline remain paramount. Any sustained rally requires a healthy crop of leaders (defined as stocks hitting new highs), however, few leaders have bullish chart patterns and the few isolated technical breakouts of late have been quickly negated. Recent action from the major averages (M criteria) is threatening a deeper correction with the characteristics of a more serious "Bear Market" environment.

The major averages finished firmly in negative territory amid concerns over global growth. Materials and financials were the worst-performing groups in the session. CF Industries (CF -6.54%) and Bank of America (BAC -5.25%) both fell hard. Tech and consumer discretionary also weighed on the market. Shares of Facebook (FB -4.15%) sank and Under Armour (UA -6.17%) retreated to extend its losing streak to a sixth-straight session.

Energy was the lone group up despite a drop in oil. Exxon (XOM +1.35%) and Chevron (CVX +3.75%). Diamond Offshore (DO +1.54%) was higher following its positive quarterly results and announcement it would discontinue its dividend. Energy Transfer Partners (ETP -22.92%) tumbled after saying it is replacing its CFO as its attempts to complete its merger with Williams Companies (WMB -34.81%).

Apollo Education (APOL +24.03%) was much higher after agreeing to a $1.1 billion deal to go private. Hasbro (HAS +1.36%) rose as the toymaker’s profits topped estimates.

Treasuries rose as investors sought perceived safety in U.S. government debt. Benchmark 10-year notes were up 25/32 to yield 1.75%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude retreated 2.6% to $30.10/barrel. COMEX gold rallied 2.8% to $1189.70/ounce.

Gold & Silver Index Bucked Widespread Group Weakness
