Indices End Mixed as Bernanke Doubts "Double Dip" Recession is Coming

The major averages traded between positive and negative territory and finished mixed after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said he does not expect a "double dip" recession in the US. Volume, an important indicator of institutional sponsorship, was higher than Monday's levels. Advancers led decliners by about a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE but trailed by about a 3-to-2 ratio on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 3 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, lower than the 4 issues that appeared on the prior session.  New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite, and small-cap Russell 2000 indexes all traded below their May 25, 2010 lows while the benchmark S&P 500 Index came within 2 points of last month's low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average marked a new Day 1 with Tuesday's positive close, but the Nasdaq Composite Index's loss leaves it awaiting a new Day 1 gain.  So far, support near prior chart lows has been tested and appears to have held, but any further deterioration would suggest that another leg lower may follow.

The market reacted somewhat positively to Ben Bernanke's comments that he does not believe a double dip recession will occur in the US, but the price/volume action of the major averages disagrees with his outlook. It may be extremely important to watch how the euro performs versus many of its popular counterparts going forward. So far, the vast majority of the recent weakness has been directly due to European contagion woes. The euro negatively reversed (opened higher but closed lower) on Tuesday which put pressure on global equity indexes. Last month's low for the euro (formerly support) was just above $1.21 and that level has now become resistance. The bears remain in control until the bulls manage to send the euro above $1.21. Elsewhere, it was disconcerting to see the euro plunge to a new multi-year lows versus the Swiss Franc.

From our vantage point, the latest three-day rally effort failed, evidenced by the poor action in the major averages in recent sessions. Furthermore, the author of "How To Make Money In Stocks", the book that explains the fact-based investment system, has observed in the past that a market should not be considered to be in "healthy" shape unless at least 2 of the 3 major averages are trading above their rising 200-day moving average (DMA) lines. This played a pivotal role in our view in recent weeks. As of Tuesday's close, The Nasdaq Composite, Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 and small-cap Russell 2000 Index unanimously closed below their respective 200 DMA lines. Therefore, the bears will likely remain in control until these popular averages close above those important levels.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index marked Day 10 of its current rally attempt while narrowly avoiding undercutting its 5/25/10 low.

Damaging Distributional Pressure Triggers Technical Sell Signal

Summer Infant Inc (SUMR  -$0.60 or -8.39% or $6.65) gapped down today, violating prior chart highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line, with its considerable loss on higher volume (3 times average) triggering technical sell signals. Recent losses with above average volume raised concerns.  Today's weakness led to a 50 DMA violation that stands in stark contrast with its last appearance in this FSU section on 5/21/10 under the headline "Positive Reversal Near Chart Support Levels" when that short-term average acted as support.

Recent quarterly comparisons show sales revenues growth accelerating and big earnings increases (triple digit percentages), plus it has a good annual earnings (A criteria) history.  Low-priced stocks are supposed to be avoided under the fact-based system because they are typically riskier candidates, however, when all key criteria are satisfied and market conditions are bullish buying efforts may be justified. Broader market action (M criteria) is normally expected to impact 3 out of 4 stocks, and odds are currently stacked against investors' success until a new rally with a follow-through day from at least one of the major averages confirms that strength is returning to stocks.

G - Slumping further below its 50 DMA line and December '09 highs today, approaching its prior chart lows and 200 DMA line.
