Negative Breadth and Waning Leadership Weighs Indices Down

The stock market drifted steadily lower during the afternoon, and the Nasdaq Composite Index fared the worst on a percentage basis among the major U.S. indexes as technology stocks lagged. Declining issues beat advancers by 2-1 on the NYSE and by 4-1 on the Nasdaq. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE, but new 52-week lows outnumbered new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals were reported lighter than the prior session totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, which was a sign that institutional investors were not aggressively dumping shares. There were 26 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 49 on the prior session. Breadth was especially negative among the high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page as 14 out of 15 stocks finished Monday's session lower.

European debt problems nagged the U.S. market as the euro zone considered aid packages for Portugal and Greece. Two reports pointed to a slowing U.S. economy. A gauge of manufacturing in the New York region slid to its lowest level in five months as the cost of raw materials surged. The NAHB housing index was unchanged in April and continued to suggest a weak housing market.

Amazon.com Inc (AMZN -4.96%) fell following reports hackers used Amazon's cloud web-servers to launch their attack on Sony Corp (SNE +0.87%) last month. Shares of NYSE Euronext (NYX -12.62%) after Nasdaq OMX Group Inc (NDAQ -2.53%) withdrew its offer for the company. Capital One Financial Corp (COF +2.18%) rose after reporting a decline in credit-card delinquencies in April.  On the plus side, airline stocks gained on a forecast that air travel will increase this summer.

PICTURED: The weakness extended a two-week slump for the S&P 500 Index. It is perched -15.67% off its October 2007 all-time high.

Tech and Retail Weakness Drags Market Down

The tech sector's negative bias resulted from larger losses in the Internet Index ($IIX -2.53%) and Networking Index ($NWX -2.25%) followed by the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.65%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.42%).  Energy-related stocks were weak as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.07%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.86%) slumped. The Retail Index ($RLX -2.00%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.13%) also lost ground and had a negative influence on the major market averages.  Meanwhile, the Bank Index ($BKX +0.12%) basically held its ground along with the defensive Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.05%) and Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.33%).

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.13%) violated its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and sank to its lowest close of 2011.

Waning Ownership From Top Funds And Noted Distribution

Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. (CTSH -$2.72 or -3.56% to $73.75) suffered another considerable loss today with above average volume, slumping toward prior lows in the $70.50 range and its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. Its Accumulation/Distribution rating is now a D- (see red circle) while it is still perched just -11.7% off its 52-week high. However, overhead supply up through the $83 level is likely to hinder its upward progress for the near term.

CTSH initially found support near its 50 DMA line after its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated graph on 4/15/11 under the headline, "Collateral Damage Hurts IT Firm's Shares", when its prominent competitor, India-based Infosys Technologies (INFY), gave disappointing guidance which put pressure on other IT companies' shares. After testing support at prior highs in the $77 area and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line it found prompt support and soon surged to a new all-time high again. However, the damaging gap down loss on 5/03/11 after its latest earnings report triggered a technical sell signal. The above linked article had noted - "Additional losses would make it increasingly harder to give it the benefit of the doubt, especially when compared to a fresh new breakout with healthy characteristics."

Lackluster earnings estimates (see red circle) for FY '11 were noted recently as cause for concern. It was also recognized as a familiar name to the institutional crowd. In fact, the number of top-rated funds owning its shares waned from 1,662 in Dec '10 to 1,620 in Mar '11.

G - Continuing to linger quietly below its 50 DMA line after damaging distribution in recent weeks. That short-term average may now act as resistance, while a rally above it would improve its technical stance. Deterioration below its recent chart low ($73.27) would raise more serious concerns and trigger an additional sell signal.
