Indices Dive on Heavier Volume With Poor Breadth

It was another volatile week on Wall Street as investors digested a questionable follow-through day (FTD), a very weak jobs report, and saw the euro plunge to a fresh multi-year low! On Friday, volume totals easily topped Thursday's levels on both major exchanges which indicated heavy distributional pressure from the institutional crowd. Decliners trumped advancers by almost a 10-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by more than an 8-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 6 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, much lower than the 28 issues that appeared on the prior session.  New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

The US stock market was closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. Stocks fell on Tuesday after BP Amoco PLC (BP -5.37%) said that they were not able to stop the leak in the Gulf of Mexico. BP gapped down on monstrous volume and hit a fresh one-year low after news spread that the earliest they will be able to plug the leak will be August. In other news, the ISM manufacturing index topped estimates and the euro plunged to a fresh 2010 low which reiterated fears that the ongoing contagion woes will worsen.

On Wednesday, the major averages surged but volume, a critical component of institutional sponsorship, was mixed. Volume was significantly lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and edged higher on the Nasdaq exchange. The higher volume on the Nasdaq exchange, coupled with the strong gain, was enough for the paper to say the Nasdaq confirmed its latest rally attempt and produced a FTD. The Dow and S&P 500 have yet to follow-through which would be a great sign to confirm this nascent rally.

Elsewhere, the Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama resigned from office ahead of the forthcoming election. His surprise resignation sent the yen plunging against 15 major currencies. In the US, pending home sales jumped to their highest level since October as buyers took advantage of the now expired tax credit. Bank of America's (BAC -2.91%) Chief Executive Officer, Brian Moynihan, reassured investors when he said that he sees "more than hopeful signs" on loan demand. Billionaire investor, Warren Buffett, spent part of his day testifying before the Financial Crisis Inquiry Committee (FCIC) and defended the credit agencies.

Stocks edged higher on Thursday as investors digested mixed economic data: Retail sales lagged, weekly jobless claims slid, and the ISM service index rose. The Labor Department said jobless claims fell by -10,000 to 453,000 last week and the ADP Employer Services report, based on private-sector payrolls, rose by +55,000 jobs. The ADP reading fell short of the Street's +70,000 estimate. Meanwhile, the Institute for Supply Management’s index of non-manufacturing businesses, which currently comprises approximately +90% of the economy, held steady at 55.4 for a third month. Stocks got smacked on Friday after the Labor Department said jobs rose by +431,000 last month which was the highest monthly gain since March 2000. However, +411,000 of those jobs were from the government hiring temporary workers for the 2010 census. That left a very small increase from the private sector which was very worrisome. In addition, the March 2000 reading was also due to census jobs.

The author of "How To Make Money In Stocks", the book that explains the fact-based investment system, has observed in the past that a market should not be considered to be in "healthy" shape unless at least 2 of the 3 major averages are trading above their rising 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. The Nasdaq Composite Index ended the week slumping back to a close under its long-term average, meanwhile the S&P 500 and Dow encountered resistance and remain below their respective 200 DMA lines.

It would be very encouraging to see a proper follow-through-day (FTD) emerge for the benchmark S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average to offer additional confirmation of a hearty new rally. Yet, acknowledging that we have a new confirmed rally based on the latest market improvements, the window is now considered to be open again to begin buying high-ranked stocks that trigger new technical buy signals but caution is sometimes the better part of valor.

PICTURED: The Down Jones Industrial Average closed under the 10,000 level while slumping near 2010 lows.




Bank Index Falls To Close Below 200-Day Average Line

The tech sector ended unanimously lower as large losses from the Networking Index ($NWX -5.13%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -4.38%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -3.82%), and Internet Index ($IIX -3.36%) put pressure on the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index.  The influential Bank Index ($BKX -4.43%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.08%), and the Retail Index ($RLX -3.96%) were collectively smacked with large losses.  Meanwhile, energy-related shares slumped as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -4.26%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.62%) fell hard, and defensive groups offered "safe haven" investors no comfort as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -2.40%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.53%) also lost ground.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -4.43%) suffered a considerable loss that led to the first close below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line since July 2009.

Retail/Wholesale - Building Products Firm Again Slumps Under 50 DMA Line

Lumber Liquidators Hldgs (LL -$2.25 or -7.48% to $27.82) suffered a considerable loss today that led to a violation of its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and December '09 highs, again raising concerns. A "negative reversal" on 4/26/10 marked its all-time high shown in this FSU section under the headline "Negative Reversal Today; Fresh Earnings News Wednesday" after hitting its $33.41 high. . Further deterioration below its recent chart lows would raise concerns and trigger more worrisome technical sell signals.  

Sequentially, its quarterly comparisons show accelerating sales revenues with earnings above the +25% guideline versus the year ago period in the 3 most current (C criteria) quarters. LL quickly got extended beyond the "max buy" guideline used by disciplined investors after it was recently featured at $29.87 in the 4/22/10 the mid-day report (read here) with a timely note as it was - "rising from an orderly cup shaped pattern (without a proper handle) formed since last noted on 12/17/09. It rallied steadily after a 'breakaway gap' on 8/05/09 helped it clear stubborn resistance in the $17 area. Quarterly sales and earnings increases have recently shown encouraging acceleration while growth rates have previously been noted as below the investment system's guidelines."  The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 24 in Dec '09 to 60 in Mar '10, an encouraging sign concerning the I criteria of the fact-based system.

Y - Two consecutive losses have entirely erased its 6/02/10 breakout from a choppy 5-week base backed by above average volume. Recent quarterly comparisons showed impressive acceleration in its sales revenues increases and earnings above the +25% minimum guideline, satisfying the C criteria. Based on weakness it was dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 2/23/09, yet it has shown especially bullish action since its breakout on 3/05/10. Mentioned long ago in a 12/15/08 interview on WBBM 780AM - (listen here). This high-ranked Medical - Products firm was featured in yellow in the 12/05/08 Mid-Day Breakouts Report (read here) THOR had rebounded impressively after being featured in the past, then subsequently dropped from the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks list on 2/2/2006.
