TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Damaging losses last week signaled a market correction (M criteria).  Limiting losses and reducing market exposure is prudent until a new confirmed rally is noted. 


Major Averages Managed a Positive Reversal After Early Weakness

The S&P 500 reversed course to rise 0.6%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.3%, with both benchmarks recovering from their third straight weekly drawdown and longest such losing streak since January. The Dow recouped a nearly 500-point drop to end 238 points higher. Volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling pressure termed "distribution".  Decliners led advancers by a narrow margin on the NYSE while advancers led decliners by a narrow margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were no high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down from 10 on the prior session.  New 52-week lows outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchangeThe damage to the major indices last week signaled a market correction (M criteria). Strict followers of the fact-based investment system know to use great caution and always be prepared to reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed a "positive reversal" on Monday.  Last week it abruptly reversed and violated both its 200-day and 50-day moving average (DMA) lines.

U.S. stocks were whipsawed in volatile trading Monday, with the major averages rebounding from early losses. Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in positive territory, with growth-related groups pacing gains. Microsoft Corp. (MSFT +2.44%)  and Google parent Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL +2.87%) were among the standouts. This week, these stocks are among the mega-cap tech names headlining the earnings slate, with more than 36% of S&P 500 companies posting results. Energy shares underperformed, with West Texas Intermediate crude falling 2.9% to $99.07/barrel. In other corporate news, Twitter, Inc. (TWTR +5.7%) after its board unanimously agreed to let Elon Musk take the social media company private in a deal worth roughly $44 billion.

Still anxiety over looming central bank rate hikes remains a market overhang as recent remarks from Federal Reserve officials have increased expectations for a swifter path of monetary policy tightening. Also pressuring sentiment were concerns around COVID-19 lockdowns in China, which have entered a fifth week and are exacerbating worries around supply chain issues and the global growth outlook. Overnight, China’s Shanghai Composite retreated 5.1% for its worst session since February 2020.

Perceived safe haven assets caught a bid amid the lingering uncertainty. A gauge of the U.S. dollar jumped 0.5% to its highest level since March 2020, while the yield on the 10-year note slipped eight basis points (0.08%) to 2.82%.

Subsequent gains backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a convincing technical buy signal. Reported Dec '21 earnings +31% on +17% sales revenues versus the year ago period.
