Major Averages Managed Positive Reversal

Despite Friday's gains, the Dow Jones Industrial and S&P 500 Index both declined -2.1% on the week while the Nasdaq Composite Index retreated -2.7%.  The volume totals on the exchanges were reported mixed, higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 27 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the prior session total of 10 stocks. There were gains for 9 of the 11 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The Dow recovered from being down as many as 93 points at its intra-day low Friday to close up 10 at 14,547. The S&P 500 added 14 points to 1,555. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 40 points to close at 3,206.

The major averages advanced to pare their weekly retreat as investors digested the latest earnings releases. Market participants also appeared preoccupied with the manhunt for a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

On the earnings front, thirteen companies in the S&P 500 reported results. Capital One Financial Corp (COF +6.40%) rallied after posting earnings that beat projections. Kimberly-Clark (KMB +4.06%) gained after the maker of Kleenex tissues increased its full-year forecast. General Electric Co (GE -4.1%) and McDonald's Corp (MCD -1.95%) fell amid disappointment in their earnings releases. Telecom was the best performing sector with Verizon Communications Inc (VZ +2.6%) up. Tech was the notable laggard on the session. Shares of International Business Machines Inc (IBM -8.28%) dove after posting a rare earnings miss and reduced its full-year guidance. Google Inc (GOOG +4.43%) rose and Microsoft Corp (MSFT +3.39%) climbed after both companies posted earnings above consensus.

Treasuries were lower with the 10-year note down 5/32 to yield 1.70%.

The market's (M criteria) quick evaporation of leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) and decisive pullback on higher volume of late was a sign of more worrisome distributional pressure. The damaging action ended the latest rally. Investors should be watchful for technical sell signals and be ready to reduce market exposure. New buying efforts should be avoided until broader strength returns and until it is noted and there is again a follow-through day of meaningful gains from at least one of the major averages coupled with an expansion in leadership.

PICTURED: The NYSE Composite Index rebounded near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after damaging losses with above average volume this week led to a violation of that important short-term average.

Biotech Index Jumps Higher, and Retail, Financial, Defensive Groups Rose

The Retail Index ($RLX +0.95%), Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +1.18%) and Bank Index ($BKX +1.52%) helped underpin the major averages' gains on Friday.  The Networking Index ($NWX -0.08%) finished flat  while the Internet Index ($IIX +0.51%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.75%) posted small gains.   Defensive groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.16%) and the Healthcare Index ($HMO +1.28%) posted gains.  Energy-related shares were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.47%) ended modestly lower while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.24%) edged higher.

Perched Near All-Time High After Recent Gains Lacked Great Volume

Celgene Corp (CELG  +$3.28 or +2.75% to $122.36) is consolidating above its "max buy" level, holding its ground after wedging to new highs from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with only average volume behind its recent gains. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines important near-term support to watch. Its last appearance in this FSU section on 3/28/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Gains Lacked Volume While Wedging From Advanced "3-Weeks Tight" Pattern". Disciplined investors know that volume-driven gains above the pivot point are necessary to trigger a proper technical buy signal, and the minimum volume required behind a gain is +40% above average. The volume requirement is important because the market's best winners really had the look of institutional accumulation, the kind of heavy buying demand that can lead to a sustained and meaningful advance in share prices. While it may go on to produce more climactic gains, keep in mind that after its considerable rally in prior months, it may also be fair to consider it a riskier "late-stage" base.

CELG has maintained a strong earnings history (C and A criteria), and it recently reported earnings +26% on +13% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 1,791 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defines important support to watch on pullbacks. It has not tested that short-term averages since finding support there in late December before embarking on a considerable winning streak.

Y - Traded up today with lighter volume. Color code was changed to yellow with a new pivot point cited based on its 3/14/18 high plus 10 cents while forming a short 5-week flat base pattern. Volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line and recent low define important near-term chart support to watch.

Subsequent deterioration below the recent low ($20.10) or its 200 DMA line would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional sell signals.
