Major Indices Slumped After Early Gains
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow added 61 points, while the S&P 500 eked out a gain of 0.2%, stabilizing from Tuesday’s six-week low. The Nasdaq Composite ended just below the flat line, erasing an earlier advance of as much as 1.7%. The tech-heavy index is positioned for its worst month since October 2008 (-12.2%) after suffering its steepest one-day drop since September 2020 (-4%) yesterday. Volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Decliners led advancers by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 4-3 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 2 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 1 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a noted market correction (M criteria) after technical damage cited in prior market commentaries published here. Strict followers of the fact-based investment system know to use great caution and always be prepared to reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index has been sputtering near the 2022 low.
U.S. stocks finished little changed on Wednesday as an early session rebound lost steam into the close. Worries over aggressive monetary policy tightening, the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns in China, and the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war remain among the litany of headwinds weighing on risk appetite lately. The U.S. dollar caught a bid as a perceived safe haven asset, with one measure of the greenback surging to a five-year high.
Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. A solid earnings report and upbeat guidance from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT +4.81%) helped Technology shares outperform. The Tech titan rallied following a top and bottom line beat on strength in its cloud services and software segments. Meanwhile, Communication Services was the worst performing group, with Google parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL -3.67%) slumping after posting slowing revenue growth on soft digital ad spending. Elsewhere, Visa Inc. (V +6.47%) rose on robust results fueled by strong payments volume. Boeing Co. (BA -7.53%) slid after logging a larger-than-projected quarterly loss.
Treasuries resumed their downtrend, with the yield on the 10-year note up eight basis points (0.08%) to 2.82%. On the data front, a preliminary reading on March wholesale inventories reflected a larger-than-forecasted 2.3% gain. Separately, pending home sales posted a fifth straight monthly drop.

Most Recent Note - 4/27/2022 5:26:17 PM
Y - Pulled back today for a 6th consecutive loss since a "negative reversal" at its all-time high. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/21/22 high after a cup-with-high-handle base pattern. Subsequent gains backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Reported Dec '21 earnings +31% on +17% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Three of the past 4 quarterly comparisons were above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings growth (A criteria) has been very strong in recent years.
