PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended -9.45% off its record as Tuesday's loss broke a streak of 4 consecutive gains with light or average volume. It recently rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Long-time readers may note from that the major averages cannot be considered to be in healthy shape while they are below their respective 200 DMA lines. 

The major averages declined amid renewed concerns that global economic growth may be slowing. Yesterday, a survey revealed China’s fourth-quarter GDP eased to the lowest level since 2009, while the annualized figure slumped to the weakest reading since 1990. Separately, the International Monetary Fund trimmed its global growth forecast from 3.7% to 3.5%. In trade news, U.S. representatives confirmed reports that this week’s proposed meeting with Chinese officials has been cancelled. On the domestic data front, an update showed existing home sales declined to the slowest pace in three-years during the month of December.

Ten of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in negative territory with Utilities the lone outperformer. Industrials were down the most as Stanley Black & Decker (SWK -15.48%) fell, its biggest one-day decline since 2013, after the toolmaker cut its full-year guidance. Meanwhile, shares of Arconic (ARNC -15.96%) fell after its board announced the company will no longer seek a buy-out offer. Energy stocks also finished broadly lower as WTI crude slipped 2.3% to $52.57 amid fears of an economic slowdown.

Treasuries strengthened along the curve as the yield on the 10-year note declined three basis points to 2.75%. In commodities, COMEX gold advanced 0.1% to $1283.50/ounce.

Pullback Broke Steak of Gains and Reversed From New High

Alarm.com Holdings Inc (ALRM -$0.98 or -1.62% to $59.40) pulled back today with volume +87% above average volume. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 10/01/18 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). During a choppy 16-week consolidation its 200 DMA line acted as support. Friday's gain above the pivot point backed by +124% above average volume triggered a technical buy signal. Disciplined investors always avoid chasing stocks more than +5% above the prior high and always limit losses by selling any stock that falls more than -7% from their purchase price.

Recently it reported Sep '18 quarterly earnings +33% on +24% sales revenues, its 11th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong after a downturn in FY '15. Up considerably from its $14 IPO on 6/26/15.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 262 in Mar '18 to 332 in Dec '18. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.9 is an unbiased sign concerning the I criteria. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of B. . During a choppy 16-week consolidation its 200 DMA line acted as support.

Y - Ended near the session low with a big loss today breaking a streak of 4 consecutive gains. Highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/07/18 high plus 10 cents in the 1/18/19 mid-day report.

Y - There was a big "negative reversal" and weak close on the prior session after hitting a new high, and heavy volume behind recent losses was action indicative of distributional pressure. Volume and volatility often increase near earnings news. Reported earnings +92% on +39% sales revenues for the Dec '18 quarter. Recently held its ground in a tight range, churning higher volume while perched within close striking distance of its prior high. Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 10/01/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains and a strong close above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may help to clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($83.30) and prior low define near-term support to watch on pullbacks.
