Quiet Volume Totals Typical Of Summer Doldrums
Adam Sarhan, Contributing Writer,

The major averages edged lower on quieter volume totals after weekly jobless claims unexpectedly jumped. Volume totals were reported lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchanges versus the prior session. Decliners led advancers by almost a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. There were 24 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 from the 35 issues that appeared on the prior session.

Before Thursday's open, the Labor Department said initial jobless claims rose by +19,000 to 479,000 which is the highest reading since April and topped analysts estimates. Before Friday's open, the Labor Department is slated to release July's non-farm payrolls report which is expected to decline by -65,000. Analysts believe that the data will show the unemployment rate rose to +9.6%. Elsewhere, a slew of retailers reported same store sales fell short of the Street's estimates for July. This put early pressure on the market and a slew of retailers. However, optimism as we enter the back-to-school shopping season helped the Retail Index close higher and helped the major averages close well above their session lows.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NYSE Composite Index have traded above resistance at their long term 200-day moving average (DMA) lines and recent chart highs. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, benchmark S&P 500, and small-cap Russell 2000 index still remain slightly below their recent chart highs. However, the fact that all of the major averages are trading above their respective 2-month downward trendlines bodes well for this five week rally. In order for a new leg higher to begin, all the major averages must close and remain above their respective resistance levels. Remember that the window remains open for for high-ranked stocks to be accumulated when they trigger fresh technical buy signals. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is quietly holding its ground above its 50 DMA and 200 DMA lines, perched near its June highs. Lighter than average volume totals are typical of the summer months, and trading activity historically tends to pick up following Labor Day.

Retail Index Rises With Back To School Sales Hopes
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
There was not a lot of decisive group action on Thursday as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.57%) ended with a small loss and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.19%) and Retail Index ($RLX +0.57%) posted small gains. Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.90%) backpedaled and its 5-session winning streak shown in the prior commentary's IGW section (read here) came to an end. The tech sector saw modest weakness across the board as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.64%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.34%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.23%), and Internet Index ($IIX -0.22%) fell less than -1% each. Commodity-linked areas were also quiet as the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.46%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.16%) edged higher and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.06%) finished virtually flat.

PICTURED: The Retail Index ($RLX +0.57%) closed above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line amid moderate optimism over back-to-school sales strength. Subsequent gains above the 200 DMA line would be a very reassuring sign from this influential group.
