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 Indicies Rose With Lighter Volume Totals
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose +0.9% along with the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite rose +1.5%. The Russell 2000 rose +1.8%. Volume reported was near the prior session total on the NYSE and lighter on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was positive as advancers led decliners by more than a 3-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 2-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 38 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page versus 28 on the prior session. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows still outnumbered new highs 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 Dow Jones Industrial Average is consolidating below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. The window remains open for a follow-through day as long as the Day 1 low is not violated. Friday's session marks Day 12 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average's rally attempt.
Mega cap and semiconductor stocks led an upbeat day for stocks, underpinned by an earnings-related gain in Qualcomm (QCOM +9.74%). Nine of the 11 S&P 500 sectors logged gains with the information technology sector (+1.6%) logging the biggest gain and the consumer discretionary sector (+1.6%) was another top performer. The materials (-0.5%) and health care (-0.1%) sectors were alone in negative territory.
The 10-yr note yield declined two basis points to 4.57% and the 2-yr note yield fell six basis points to 4.88%. Fed Chair Powell said it is unlikely in his view that the Fed will increase rates again, but he did not make it any more clear to the market when rates will be reduced. The April Employment report, due Friday morning, may influence the Fed's policy decisions.

Sank further below the 50 DMA line ($127) with today's volume-driven loss raising greater concerns. A rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Prior low ($121.79 on 4/16/24) defines the next important support to watch. Faces near-term resistance up to the $138 level. Fundamentals remain strong. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

Y - Posted a gain today with average volume for a new 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 technical buy signal. Its 50 DMA line ($1,209) defines near-term support to watch.
