Breadth Negative as Major Averages Slump With Lighter Volume

The S&P 500 shed 0.7%, while the Dow lost 184 points. The Nasdaq Composite fell 1% amid weakness in Technology shares. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 3 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 11 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is now under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped and tested its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with Monday's loss on lighter volume than on Friday's big loss.

U.S. stocks ended lower on Monday, though pared early session losses, as another back-up in Treasury yields weighed on growth-related pockets of the market. Sentiment remained under pressure as investors continued to digest last Friday’s address from Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell. During the Jackson Hole economic symposium, the Fed chief struck a decidedly hawkish tone, sending stocks firmly lower for their worst session in more than two months. Powell said the Fed would continue fighting inflation “until the job is done,” adding that restrictive monetary policy would remain in place for “some time.” He asserted that curbing inflation was the central bank’s top priority, and confirmed that the size of September’s rate hike would remain data dependent. 

Treasuries slipped, with the yield on the 10-year note climbing seven basis points (0.07%) to 3.10%. The two-year note yield rose four basis points (0.04%) to 3.42% after briefly hitting its highest level since 2007. Sovereign bond yields are extending this year’s ascent as global central bank officials reaffirm plans to keep hiking interest rates as much as necessary in order to clamp down on elevated inflation-even at the risk of inciting recessions. A gauge of the U.S. dollar finished little changed after earlier touching a two-decade high. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude jumped 4.2% to $96.93/barrel on the prospect of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+)production cuts.

Quietly Consolidating Below "Max Buy" Level After Breakout

Clean Harbors Inc (CLH +$0.08 or +0.07% to $119.03) is consolidating near its all-time high but back below its "max buy" level so its color code is changed to yellow  Previously noted gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by +116% above average volume on 8/12/22 triggered a technical buy signal. No resistance remains due to overhead supply. Fundamentals remain strong. Prior high in the $115 area defines important near-term support to watch on pullbacks.

CLH was highlighted in yellow in the 8/10/22 mid-day report (read herewith pivot point cited based on its 4/01/22 high plus 10 cents. It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Pollution Control Firm Perched Near Prior High".

CLH has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. It reported Jun '22 quarterly earnings +105% on +46% sales revenues versus the year ago period. Prior quarters showed a strong earnings track record with earnings above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong and steady.

There are only 54.4 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 590 in Sep '21 to 615 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. The current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.0 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship rating of C.
