Major Indices Encounter Mild Distributional Pressure
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Selling in the afternoon led all of the major indices to finish near their lows of the day with losses ranging from -0.4% to -1.5%. Volume reported was higher than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, action again noted as indicative of distributional pressure. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 5-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 64 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page matching the total of 64 on the prior session. New 52-week highs and new 52-week lows totals were evenly matched on the NYSE but new low lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria).
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back from its all-time high with a big loss on Thursday backed with higher volume.
The S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing PMI increased to 50.9 from 50.0 while the S&P Global U.S. Services PMI jumped to 54.8 from 51.3. The New Home Sales Report for April was weaker than expected. The 10-yr note yield settled four basis points higher at 4.48% and the 2-yr note yield was five basis points higher at 4.93%.
Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors settled lower. The information technology sector was the lone standout in positive territory at the close, gaining 0.6%, benefitting from activity in NVDA. Meanwhile, the rate-sensitive real estate (-2.2%) and utilities (-1.7%) sectors logged the largest declines, clipped by rising rates.

G - Gapped up again today for yet another new all-time high, getting extended from any sound base. Color code was changed to green after rising above its "max buy" level. On pullbacks prior highs in the $51 area define initial support to watch above its 50 DMA line ($46.69).

Y - Slumping near its 50 DMA line ($19.92) with today's big loss. There was a "negative reversal" and it closed near the session low on the prior session after hitting new multi-year highs. Color code was changed to yellow with pivot point cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents in the 5/20/24 mid-day report - "Found support above its 50 DMA line during an orderly 6-week flat base. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Earnings increases have been above the +25% mninimum guideline in quarterly comparisons through Mar '24 versus the year-ago periods. Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a loss in FY '20."
