Major Averages Endure More Losses

The major averages retreated for a second day due to disappointing economic data and amid the Fed's continued debate over the future of its bond purchases. Wednesday's volume totals were reported slightly lower than the prior session totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, which was a slightly reassuring sign that institutional investors were not increasing their selling efforts even while the market rally has encountered distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 9-2 margin on the NYSE and by a 7-2 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 9 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the prior session total of 41 stocks. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE, meanwhile on the Nasdaq exchange new 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows. Only 1 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page posted a gain on the decisively negative session.

 

An ADP report showed private sector hiring continued to slow down in May and factory orders for April came in weaker-than-expected. Later in the session, the Beige Book revealed the U.S. economy is growing at a "modest to moderate" pace, but hiring remains sluggish in seven of the 12 Fed districts.

Overall, every S&P 500 sector declined. Materials firms including The Mosaic Co (MOS -3.03%) and Financial firms including Citigroup Inc (C -2.34%) gave up the most ground. Industrial stocks were also notable laggards. Fastenal Co (FAST -6.32%) led the group lower after the company posted disappointing monthly sales figures.

In fixed-income, Treasury yields declined. The 10-year note was up 17/32 to yield 2.08% and the 30-year bond gained over a full point to yield 3.24%.

The market (M criteria) uptrend clearly came under pressure as May drew to a close, and the ongoing weakness is threatening to become a full blown "correction". However, lighter volume totals are a sign that institutional volume has not been intensifying while the major averages have retreated.  As more damaging losses mount in the broader market this can serve as a reminder for investors to be protective of any gains and to limit losses by being especially watchful for any individual issues flashing technical sell signals.  It is vitally important to your success with the fact-based investment system to reduce exposure and preserve cash during market downdrafts.

As always, watch upcoming CANSLIM.net reports for new action-worthy leaders best matching the winning models to be covered as they emerge and then included on the Featured Stocks Page - with our Certified experts' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with annotated graphs.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is slumping toward its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. That important short-term average acted as support during pullbacks earlier this year, however any more damaging violation would raise concerns and prompt investors to reduce their exposure to stocks.

Financial, Tech, Retail, Healthcare and Energy Groups Fell

The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -2.31%) and Bank Index ($BKX -1.72%) both suffered losses and weighed on the major averages on Wednesday's mostly negative session. The Retail Index ($RLX -1.10%) also fell, and their were unanimous losses in the tech sector as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -2.54%) and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -1.52%) outpaced the Internet Index ($IIX -0.82%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.34%) to the downside.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO -1.98%) was weaker, and losses in energy-related shares weighed on the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -1.42%) and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.52%).  The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.24%) was a standout as it eked out a small gain.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX -1.72%) has retreated from its highs with a streak of 4 consecutive losses.

Following 50-Day Moving Average Violation More Damage Mounts

Celgene Corp (CELG  +$2.20 or +1.73% to $129.66) violated the prior low (5/02/13 low $114.05) with another damaging loss today raising more serious concerns and triggering additional technical sell signals after its slump below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with consecutive losses backed by above average volume already triggered an earlier technical sell signal. The stock's Accumulation/ Distribution Rating has slumped to a D+ today, down from a B when CELG had rallied to new highs immediately following its last appearance in this FSU section on 5/13/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Extended From Base After Tallying +57% Gain in 6-Months". The technical sell signals coupled with weak action in the broader market (M criteria) are signs that serve as a reminder to reduce market exposure and preserve cash. Any stock that is sold can always be bought back later if strength returns. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

While CELG may go on to consolidate and form a new base, a rebound above its 50 DMA line is obviously needed for its outlook to improve. CELG has maintained a strong earnings history (C and A criteria), and it recently reported earnings +27% on +15% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 1,834 in Mar '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd, and that means that very few are likely to just be discovering it. Some have clearly decided to lock in profits from what this chart is telling us this week, whether it is due to concerns with respect to the broader market or the individual company.  Since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the broader market averages (M criteria), chances may not be good for most stocks to make progress if the market falls into a more serious correction.

G - Consolidating near its 50 DMA line now, it completed a Secondary Offering on 5/31/13. Often times companies attract additional institutional interest (I criteria) with the help of underwriters when Secondary Offerings are completed, however they can typically be a short-term hindrance to price progress.

Sank deeper below its 50 DMA line with a 4th consecutive loss backed by above average volume. Triggered another more worrisome technical sell signal as it violated the prior low (5/02/13 low $114.05) defining important chart support. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight.

Y- Was last noted in the mid-day report on 5/29/13 with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/03/13 high, and it rose from an advanced "3-weeks tight" base with a gain on the session backed by +56% above average volume. It may go on to produce more climactic gains, however this was a riskier "late-stage" base. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

G - Volume totals have been cooling while holding its ground stubbornly perched at its 52-week high, very extended from its previous base. Prior highs in the $27 area define support to watch on pullbacks. Gains of greater than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks following its "breakaway gap" suggest holding for a minimum of 8 week under the fact-based investment system's rules.
