Based on noted distributional action in the major indices last week there has been a shift in (M criteria) market conditions from a "confirmed uptrend" to an "uptrend under pressure". Use greater caution.

Small Caps and Nasdaq Composite Index Led Major Indices
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average settled just below its prior close while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite closed the session near their highs. Volume reported was higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 4-3 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 31 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 48 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices are in an uptrend that is under pressure (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors. Always stand ready to protect against losses.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index is consolidating above its 50-day moving average line.
Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors logged gains ranging from 0.1% to 1.3%. Wednesday's release of the March Consumer Price Index may prompt more decisive market action. There has been a lingering sense that stocks are due for a pullback.
Boeing (BA -1.89%) fell following news that its first quarter deliveries (83) were the lowest since the second quarter of 2021. The New York Times reported that the FAA is investigating whistle-blower complaints about alleged flaws in the 787 Dreamliner.
Megacap leaders sputtered. NVIDIA (NVDA -2.04%), which is still up 72.4% this year, Meta Platforms (META -0.45%), which is still up 46.0% in 2024, and Eli Lilly (LLY -2.58%), which still shows a 29.9% gain on the year, were losing standouts in that respect.
The 10-yr note yield settled five basis points lower at 4.37% and the 2-yr note yield declined four basis points to 4.75%. A fresh $58 billion 3-yr note auction was met with weak demand.

Tech Sector and Gold & Silver Index Led Gainers
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.63%) lost ground while the Bank Index ($BKX +0.21%) and the Retail Index ($RLX +0.23%) both posted small gains. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.94%), Networking Index ($NWX +1.36%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK +1.57%) each posted gains. Commodity-linked groups were mixed as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.19%) rose while the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.67%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.50%) each posted a small loss.
![]() PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.94%) has been consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Volume Totals Cooling While Perched Near High
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Transdigm Group Inc (TDG -$17.36 or -1.41% and $1,215.93) is holding its ground following a "negative reversal" on 4/04/24 after touching a new all-time high. Its 50-day moving average (DMA ) line ($1,173) defines near-term support to watch.
Fundamentals remain strong. It reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +56% on +28% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 11th consecutive comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Growth has been very strong after a downturn in FY '20 and '21 (A criteria) hurt its earnings track record. It has an 91 Earnings Per Share Rating.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,332 in Dec '22 to 1,544 in Mar '24, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its small supply of 53.4 million shares (S criteria) in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. It has a Timeliness Rating of A and an Accumulation/Distribution rating of C. |

Y - Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/04/24 high plus 10 cents. Volume totals have been cooling while hovering in a tight range near its all-time high. Volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($291) defines near-term support to watch. Fundamentals remain strong. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Previously noted - " A strong volume-driven gain and close above the pivot point is needed to clinch a proper technical buy signal."

Y - Gapped up today and on track for a solid gain. On the prior session it finished in middle of its intra-day range after highlighted yellow in the mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 2/09/24 high plus 10 cents. Hit a new 52-week high with a volume-driven gain triggering a technical buy signal after finding prompt support at its 50 DMA line ($617) in recent weeks. Reported Dec '23 quarterly earnings +59% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period, its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. Faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $866 level. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
