Dow Industrials and S&P 500 Index Fell Below 50-Day Moving Averages

The major indices suffered unanimous losses on Friday. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, inflated by options expirations. Advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange while decliners led advancers nearly 2-1 on NYSE. There were 30 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus the total of 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted but still outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are in a confirmed uptrend.  Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions on case-by-case basis under the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average slumped further below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.
 
U.S. stocks finished firmly lower on Friday, with the S&P 500 posting its first back-to-back weekly decline since May. The broad benchmark fell 0.9%, dragging it 0.6% lower on the week, though still remains within 2.3% of its most recent September 2 record high. The Dow lost 166 points, bringing its five-day decline to 0.1%, and notably the blue chip index’s third consecutive weekly dip, a streak not seen in a year. The Nasdaq Composite shed 0.9%, capping a weekly loss of 0.5%. The Nasdaq 100 suffered its worst day since May (-1.2%) amid weakness in mega-cap and growth-oriented shares.

Volatility and trading volume were elevated amid today’s “triple witching” event, a quarterly occurrence during which options and futures simultaneously expire. Meanwhile, a confluence of factors have been clouding the near-term growth outlook during the seasonally weak month of September.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with Materials leading the decline amid continued selling pressure in the metals complex. Health Care bucked the downtrend, with Thermo Fisher Scientific (TMO +6.49%) rose after the medical equipment maker provided upbeat forward guidance.

Treasuries weakened, with the yield on the 10-year note up three basis points to 1.37%. On the data front, a preliminary September reading on consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan showed a modest improvement to 71.0 from August’s near decade-low of 70.3. In commodities, WTI crude slipped 0.8% to $72.00/barrel but still notched a fourth straight weekly gain. COMEX gold ended the day 0.3% lower at $1,750.00/ounce as a gauge of the U.S. dollar climbed 0.3%.

Biotech Index Rose on Widely Negative Session

Weakness in the Retail Index ($RLX -0.51%) weighed on the major averages along with financials as the Bank Index ($BKX -0.32%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.13%) both fell.  The Biotech Index ($BTK +0.75%) led the tech sector but weakness in the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.51%) and Networking Index ($NWX -1.18%) created a drag. Commodity-linked groups also had a negative bias as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.48%) outpaced the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.56%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.99%) to the downside.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Oil Services Index ($OSX -2.48%) slumped below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which recently converged, technically termed a "death cross".

Stalled But Holding Ground After Recent "3 Weeks Tight"

Perkinelmer Inc (PKI $187.56 +$1.69 +0.91%) has encountered some distributional pressure after it recently wedged to new all-time highs. It made limited headway following a noted "3-weeks tight" base as its color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 8/05/21 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains for new highs would be a welcome sign of fresh institutional buying demand that could lead to more substantial price progress. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($177.61) defines important near-term support to watch.

PKI finished strong after highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 1/11/21 high plus 10 cents in the 7/26/21 mid-day report (read here). It was shown in greater detail that evening with an annotated graph under the headline, "Powerful Volume-Driven Breakout After Earnings Report".

Fundamentals remain strong. The high-ranked ELECTRONICS - Scientific and Technical Instruments firm showed bullish action after it reported earnings +80% on +51% sales revenues for the Jun '21 quarter versus the year ago period, its 6th strong quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved steadily. It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98.

There are 112.1 million shares outstanding (S criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,269 in Sep '20 to 1,511 in Jun '21, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.3 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of B.

Y - Pulled back today with above average volume testing support at its 50 DMA line ($477.88). More damaging losses would raise concerns.
