Broad Weakness Leans Heavily on Latest Market Rally
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks were firmly lower Monday. The Dow dropped 602 points to 25,387, while the S&P 500 lost 54 points to 2,726. The Nasdaq Composite was down 206 points to 7,200, erasing this month’s gains. The volume totals reported were lower on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Decliners led advancers by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and nearly 4-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 23 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, bullish action last week marked a shift in the market direction (M criteria) and confirmed a new uptrend but stocks have encountered pressure and leadership has sputtered. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average pulled back for a big loss on Monday and retreated back below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The solid follow-through day on 11/07/18 was noted as a reassuring sign, however, subsequent losses undercutting the Day 1 lows would technically end the latest confirmed rally.
The major averages retreated as Tech weakness resumed and the U.S. dollar jumped amid continued political uncertainty in Europe. The Information Technology sector slumped 3.5%, led by a slide in Apple (AAPL -5.04%). A key Apple supplier cut its guidance Monday, leading to analyst speculation that iPhone production in the fourth quarter may be lower than expected.
10 of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory with Real Estate the sole advancer. Consumer Discretionary lagged with Amazon (AMZN -4.41%) down. Financials also underperformed. Goldman Sachs (GS -7.46%), its worst session in seven years, amid scrutiny surrounding a Malaysian government scandal.
There were no economic releases, and the U.S. fixed income markets were closed in observance of Veterans Day. The U.S. dollar jumped another 0.6% on the session to its highest level since mid-2017 as uncertainty over Brexit negotiations and the Italian budget sent the euro tumbling. In commodities, oil extended its record losing streak to 11 days, reversing earlier gains. WTI crude slumped 2.3% to $58.80/barrel despite OPEC announcing it may implement supply cuts to stabilize prices. COMEX gold dipped 0.6% to $1,201.20 amid the strengthening dollar. |

Pullback Following Breakout Gain on After Latest Earnings Report
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Ubiquiti Networks Inc (UBNT -$5.17 or -4.65% to $105.96) pulled back back below its "max buy" level with above average volume behind a big loss today. It had quickly gotten extended more than +5% above the prior high and finished strong after highlighted in yellow in the 11/09/18 mid-day report with new pivot point cited based on its 9/25/18 high plus 10 cents (read here). The big gain for a new high with nearly 4 times average volume triggered a technical buy signal. A tactical approach taught in the Certification requires investors to avoid chasing extended stocks. Disciplined investors also know to always limit losses if ever any stock falls more than 7% from their purchase price! Bullish action last week came after it reported earnings +27% on +15% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, marking its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), helping it better match the fact-based investment system's fundamental guidelines. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 262 in Dec '17 to 293 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its small supply of only 20 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has earned a B Timeliness Rating and B Sponsorship Rating. It hails from the Telecom - Infrastructure Industry Group which has a 91 Group Relative Strength Rating, a reassuring sign concerning the L criteria. After a small downturn in FY '15 its annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. That fundamental shortcoming had a role in limiting its appearances since UBNT was last shown in this FSU section on 4/20/12 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Formed a New Ascending Base But Did Not Confirm New Buy Signal".

Y - Color code is changed to yellow after rebounding above its 50 DMA line ($21.95) again with today's volume-driven gain. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply up to the $24 level. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal.

G - Reported earnings +30% on +12% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter. Gapped down and abruptly retreated below its 50 and 200 DMA lines with today's big loss triggering a technical sell signal and its color code is changed to green. Disciplined investors note it did not trigger a technical buy signal after previously noted - "Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Its 50 DMA line ($53.26) and 200 DMA line ($51.52) define near-term support. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by more than +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal."

Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 6/07/18 high plus 10 cents in the 11/02/18 mid-day report.
