Major Averages Rose Again With Less Volume Conviction

Stocks managed to pare last week's losses as investors overlooked a disappointing housing report.  Behind Monday's gains the volume totals on the exchanges were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by almost a 3-2 margin on the NYSE, but the lead was narrow on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 35 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 27 stocks. There were gains for 5 of the 10 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Positive corporate earnings helped buoy the major averages. All 10 sectors on the S&P finished higher, led by gains in energy stocks. Shares of Chevron Corp (CVX +0.58%) to $116.57 as crude oil advanced +1.1% to $89.26 per barrel. Mining stocks also showed strength as gold prices rose +2.1% to about $1,424 an ounce. On the earnings front, Halliburton Co (HAL +5.59%) rallied following the company’s better-than-expected profit tally. Also on the upside, shares of Hasbro (HAS +3.40%) to $46.55 after the toymaker topped analysts’ expectations in the quarter. In other news, Microsoft Corp (MSFT +3.58%) on news that activist investor David Faber took a $2 billion stake in the company.

Turning to fixed income markets, treasuries were modestly higher along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was up 1/8 of a point to yield 1.70% and the 30-year bond added 5/32 to yield 2.88%.

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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Greater concerns would be raised by any subsequent violation of that important short-term average as the technical deterioration would be evidence that the correction was worsening.

Semiconductor, Networking, Commodity-Linked Groups Led Gainers

New Flat Base Formed, But Fundamental Concerns Remain

Netsuite Inc (N -$0.37 or -0.47% to $78.75) is consolidating in a tight range near its all-time high. It has formed an orderly flat base however, due to fundamental concerns, no new pivot point is being cited. A subsequent volume-driven gain into new high territory may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal, however historic studies showed that the markets best winners had a combination of strong fundamentals (earnings history) coupled with bullish technical (price/volume) action. Its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($74.48 now) defines important near-term support to watch.

It reported earnings +20% on +33% sales revenues for the Dec '12 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns for followers of the fact-based investment system. The company had reported earnings increases above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria) in the 5 prior quarterly comparisons. Its annual earnings (A criteria) history improved from losses prior to FY '09. The stock made limited progress since it was highlighted in yellow in the 12/12/12 mid-day report with a pivot point cited based on its 10/26/12 high plus 10 cents (read here), however it seems to be rewarding patient investors.

Netsuite's last appearance in this FSU section was on 4/01/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Bullish Up/Down Volume Ratio Despite Sub Par Dec '12 Earnings Increase". The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 201 in Jun '11 to 322 in Dec '12, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.6 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.

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.

Y - Rallying within close striking distance of its 52-week high today and little resistance remains. Promptly rebounded above its 50 DMA line, an encouraging sign of institutional support on the prior session. Subsequent deterioration below the recent low ($20.10) or its 200 DMA line would raise more serious concerns and trigger additional sell signals.
