Indices Pulled Back With Lighter Volume on Day 3 of Rally Attempt
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow lost 42 points, while the Nasdaq Composite shed 0.3%. The S&P 500 slipped 0.2%. The volume totals reported were lighter than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 13 on the prior session. New 52-week lows totals outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices paused after enjoying 2 consecutive days of big gains, and the market is still in a correction (M criteria). Caution and patience remain paramount because some of the biggest up days occur during ongoing corrections. Disciplined investors know to watch for a follow-through day of big gains to confirm a new uptrend on Day 4-7 of a new rally.

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index pulled back on Day 3 of the new rally attempt. It halted its slide just above the June low.
U.S. equities finished lower Wednesday after struggling for direction in afternoon trading. Treasury yields climbed as uncertainty over the future course of Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy grew. The benchmark 10-year note added 11 basis points (0.11%) to 3.74%, while the 30-year bond yield added five basis points (0.05%) to 3.75%. The more Fed-sensitive two-year note increased three basis points (0.03%) to 4.14%. A gauge of the U.S. dollar added 1% against a basket of currencies.
In commodities, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude jumped 1.6% to $87.89/barrel following the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies (OPEC+) meeting as concerns over tight supply outweighed recessionary worries and a stronger U.S. dollar. OPEC+ has announced they will cut production by two million barrels per day, its largest cut since 2020, despite pressure from the U.S. to continue pumping oil to alleviate supply strains.
On the data front, the ADP Employment Change survey showed the U.S. added 208,000 jobs in September, which implies demand for labor is strong despite a darkening economic outlook. Meanwhile, the U.S. trade balance narrowed for the fifth-straight month in August. Meanwhile, the final September readings for the S&P Global U.S. Services Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) and Composite PMI were both upwardly revised. The Institute of Supply Management’s (ISM) Services Index came in at a better-than-anticipated 56.7 in September.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow after it posted a 3rd consecutive gain today with lighter volume as it wedged above its 50 DMA line ($38.13). Recent slump below the pivot point raised concerns. Faces some near-term resistance due to overhead supply up to the $41 level. The market is in a correction (M criteria) and disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts until a new rally confirmed with a follow-through day.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow while pulling back below its "max buy" level. Rallied above its pivot point with big volume-driven gains triggering a technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($26.32) defines important near-term support where a violation would raise concerns and trigger a technical sell signal. The market is in a correction (M criteria) and disciplined investors know to avoid new buying efforts until a new rally confirmed with a follow-through day.
