Major Averages Fell With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished firmly lower on Tuesday. The Dow was off 189 points to 16431. The S&P 500 fell 24 points to 1921. The NASDAQ was down 67 points at 4503. Volume was reported lighter on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by more than 2-1 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 26 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 Featured Stocks Page includes new noteworthy leaders only as the tone of the market dictates.
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index pulled back after it met resistance at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs.
Improved action from the major averages (M criteria) last Wednesday signaled a new follow through day and confirmed rally, an encouraging sign that a deeper correction and more serious "Bear Market" may be avoided. Members have been repeatedly reminded -"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." The major averages halted their recent momentum as crude prices tumbled. International stocks sold off overnight after a surprise devaluation of the yuan by the Chinese government. On the domestic data front, home prices in 20 major U.S. cities increased by 5.7% in December, in-line with expectations. A gauge of consumer confidence fell to 92.2, well below consensus estimates of 97.2. Finally, existing home sales ticked up 0.4% versus projections of a 2.5% decline. In earnings, Home Depot (HD +1.37%) rose on better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings. Fitbit (FIT -20.82%) fell after giving forward guidance well below Wall Street estimates. Frontier Communications (FTR +12.64%) rose after posting a surprise fourth-quarter profit. Nine out of ten sectors in the S&P 500 finished in negative territory on the session. Energy and Materials shares led the losses while Utilities stocks outperformed. Treasuries were mildly higher with the benchmark ten-year note adding 4/32 to yield 1.74%. In commodities, NYMEX WTI crude fell 4.3% to $31.98/barrel after a Saudi oil minister said the nation would not cut crude output. COMEX gold gained 1.1% to $1223.10/ounce. In FOREX, the dollar fell against the yen but climbed against the British pound and euro.
