Since Wednesday April 10th members of FACTBASEDINVESTING.COM were cautioned as a shift in conditions (M criteria) signaled a market "correction". Use greater caution, raise cash and reduce exposure by selling any weakening stocks on a case-by-case basis. New buying efforts will be avoided by disciplined investors until a solid follow-through day is noted confirming a new uptrend.

Major Indices Slumped With Clearly Negative Breadth
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The major indices closed with declines, but staged a big recovery off their lows for the session. At their worst levels of the day, the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones Industrial Average were down -1.6%, -2.3%, and -1.8%, respectively. Losses by the close ranged from -0.5% to -1.0%. Volume reported was higher than the prior session total on the NYSE and near the prior session total on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by about a 5-2 margin on the NYSE and by nearly 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 31 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices recently signaled a market correction (M criteria). Greater caution is important for all investors until a follow-through day signals a new confirmed uptrend.
PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index remains well below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and it fell toward the recent low after 3 consecutiev gains. The window remains open for a follow-through day a as long as the Day 1 low is not violated.
A fresh $44 billion 7-yr note sale met solid demand. The Advance Q1 GDP report showed weaker growth and higher inflation, and the weekly jobless claims report showed ongoing strength in the labor market.
The market suffered with negative responses to earnings news from some widely held names including Meta Platforms (META -10.56%) and Dow components IBM (IBM -8.25%) and Caterpillar (CAT -7.02%).
The S&P 500 materials (+0.7%), energy (+0.5%), industrials (+0.3%), utilities (+0.3%), and information technology (+0.2%) sectors were all lower in the early going before closing with gains.

Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Retail Index ($RLX -1.17%), Bank Index ($BKX -1.14%), and the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.33%) each slumped and had a negative impact on the major indices.

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +3.13%) posted a standout gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.55%) posted a smaller gain and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.07%) was little changed.
![]() PICTURED: The Networking Index ($NWX -0.98%) has recently been lingering below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines which have nealry converged.

HUBS Testing 50-day Moving Average Line Again
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Hubspot Inc (HUBS -$16.06 or -2.46% to $635.68) pulled back again today with near average volume, testing support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($627) and recent lows. More damaging losses would raise serious concerns and trigger a worrisome technical sell signal.
HUBS has a highest possible Earnings Per Share Rating of 99. Dec '23 quarterly earnings +59% on +24% sales revenues versus the year-ago period marked its 6th consecutive quarterly comparison well above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Its annual earnings history (A criteria) has been strong. It faces some resistance due to old overhead supply up to the $866 level.
The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,530 in Jun '23 to 1,821 in Mar '24, 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 - Posted a gain today with near-average volume and closed just above its 50 DMA line ($301). Color code was changed to yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 3/04/24 high plus 10 cents. A gain above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume is needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

Y - Posted a solid gain today with +22% above average volume for a best-ever close. Color code was changed to yellow after holding its ground in a tight range near its all-time high. New pivot point was cited based on its 4/04/24 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper new technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($1,193) defines near-term support to watch.
