Stocks Recover After Dow and S&P 500 Hit New 2010 Lows

The major averages closed mixed after geopolitical tensions esclated between North and South Korea.  Volume was heavier compared to Monday's volume reported on both major exchanges while decliners led advancers by a 2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange and nearly a 2-to-1 ratio on the NYSE. Leadership dried up on Tuesday as there were no high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 4 issues that appeared on Monday. It is difficult for the market to mount a sustained rally without a healthy crop of strong leaders. New 52-week lows trumped new 52-week highs on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE.

Overnight, stocks plunged in Asia and Europe after bank borrowing costs jumped and North Korea said it will sever ties with South Korea as tensions continue to mount. On Monday, the US announced plans to conduct anti-submarine exercises with South Korea after the March 26 torpedoing of a South Korean warship. The US dollar rallied on the news which sent the a slew of dollar denominated assets lower on the news (i.e. stocks and commodities).

In the US, Representative Barney Frank, who will lead congressional talks on the much anticipated financial-regulation bill, said Senate language that would require commercial banks to prevent swap-trading "goes too far." This helped a slew of financial stocks rally back from new 2010 lows. Goldman Sachs (GS +4.29%), Morgan Stanley (MS +1.40%), and Bank of America (BAC +0.58%) had opened lower and managed "positive reversals" to collectively close higher after hitting fresh 2010 lows.

All the major averages sliced below Friday's lows which effectively ended the current rally attempt and reset the base count. However, the S&P 500 Index managed to close higher for the day which technically marks Day 1 of a new rally attempt for that index.  In addition, the earliest a proper follow-through day (FTD) could occur would be Friday, providing Tuesday's lows are not breached. However, if at anytime, Tuesday's lows are breached, then the day count will be reset. What does all of this mean for investors? Simple, the market remains in a correction which reiterates the importance of adopting a strong defense stance until a new rally is confirmed. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial average closed above the 10,000 level near its session high on Tuesday. Early weakness briefly led to new 2010 lows for the blue chip index as well as the benchmark S&P 500 Index.




XAU Rebounds Above 200-Day Moving Average

A gain from the Retail Index ($RLX +1.38%) and the influential financial groups' gains from both the Bank Index ($BKX +1.03%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.45%) were offset by weakness in other areas which prevented the major averages from making headway. The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.70%) tallied a solid gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.04%) ended flat.  The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.58%) and Networking Index ($NWX +0.71%) posted modest gains, meanwhile the Internet Index ($IIX -0.07%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.05%) edged lower. The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.94%) was also a laggard group.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +3.10%) was a standout among the groups posting gains Tuesday as it rallied back above its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

Damaging Losses Hurting Technical Outlook

Bridgepoint Education (BPI -$0.64 or -2.81% to $22.12) gapped down today, diving below recent lows previously mentioned as "a very important support level to watch" and trading below its Aug 2009 highs for the first time sine 3/16/10. When it was last shown in this Featured Stock Update section on 5/07/10 under the headline "Leadership In Group Waning Under Threat Of Regulations"  we observed that - "prompt sign of support near its 50 DMA line would be encouraging, while any further deterioration leading to a slump below its August 2009 highs would raise more serious concerns."

BPI would need to rally back above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line for its outlook to improve. Based on weakness it will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Leadership in the Commercial Services - Schools group recently waned as many for-profit schools have encountered distributional pressure in the wake of proposed regulatory changes. Broader market action (M criteria) is normally expected to impact 3 out of 4 stocks, and widespread losses effectively ended the latest rally. BPI was featured in yellow in the 4/13/10 mid-day report (read here) as rose from a cup-with-high-handle hit a new 52 week high after a brief consolidation above its old chart high ($21.90). It has an impressive history of very strong annual and quarterly increases in sales revenues and earnings above the +25% guideline which is good concerning the C & A criteria.
