Decisive Distributional Pressure Whacks Major Indices

The Dow plunged 1,861 points, marking its worst daily performance since mid-March. The S&P 500 declined 5.9% finishing in negative territory for the third consecutive day. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite retreated 5.3%, snapping a four-day winning streak. Decliners decisively led advancers by a 33-1 margin on the NYSE and by almost a 13-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of a decisive increase in institutional selling pressure. There were 7 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the 32 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals contracted yet still outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices have clearly seen the recent uptrend come under pressure (M criteria)Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so the abrupt contraction in new highs totals is a worrisome sign.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on higher volume and slumped back below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line.

U.S. equities finished sharply lower Thursday, as renewed concerns surrounding a possible second wave of coronavirus in some states dampened recent optimism tied to easing lockdown measures. Cautious commentary from the Federal Reserve on Wednesday, along with concerns about the speed of the rebound also weighed on investor sentiment. 

Amid the perceived “risk-off” mood, Treasuries strengthened with the yield on the 10-year note slipping six basis points to 0.66%. This extends yesterday’s 10 basis points drop, which was the maturity’s biggest daily decline in nearly two months. Despite a strong dollar, COMEX gold also caught a bid, rising 1.1% to $1,731.30/ounce. On the data front, initial jobless claims came in at 1.5 million in the week ending June 6, easing from the prior period’s upwardly revised 1.9 million reading.

All 11 S&P 500 sectors fell at least 3.5%, with Energy stocks leading the retreat as WTI crude slumped 8.4% to $35.86/barrel. Airliners, hotels, and cruise operators, which were more vulnerable during the coronavirus-inspired rout, saw steep declines. Financials also underperformed, with the KBW Bank Index slipping 9.0%. Elsewhere, Apple (AAPL -4.78%) and Microsoft (MSFT -5.37%) slumped, a day after both Tech giants closed at fresh all-time highs. Meanwhile, shares of Zoom Video (ZM +0.48%) was the lone advancer in the Nasdaq 100.

Financial, Commodity, Tech, and Retail Indexes Fell

The Bank Index ($BKX -9.00%) outpaced the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -7.11%) to the downside while the Retail Index ($RLX -4.00%) also sank. The tech sector had a negative bias as the Biotech Index ($BTK -4.78%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -6.39%) and the Networking Index ($NWX -7.03%) fell. Commodity-linked groups were big decliners as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -14.18%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -9.65%) both fell abruptly, and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -6.19%) rounded out the widely negative session with a big loss.
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

Pullback Toward Prior Highs Which Define Near-Term Support

Trex Company Inc (TREX -$8.62 or -7.04% to $113.83) pulled back below its "max buy" level with today's big loss with near average volume and its color code was changed to yellow. Prior highs in the $111 area define initial support to watch.

TREX was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 3/05/20 high plus 10 cents in the 5/05/20 mid-day report (read here). It rebounded impressively after a deep slump below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines during the recent market correction. It was last shown in this FSU section on 5/20/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Bullish Action Continues for Top Wood Alternative Firm".

Fundamentals remain strong. It has earned the highest possible 99 Earnings Per Share Rating. TREX reported earnings +35% on +12% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been strong. The company hails from the General Building Materials industry group which currently has a Group Relative Strength Rating of B+.

The company has a new CEO as of 4/29/20. It has a small supply (S criteria) of only 57.9 million shares outstanding. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 540 in Jun '19 to 627 in Mar '20, 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. It has a Timeliness rating of A and a Sponsorship Rating of C.

Y - Abruptly retreated near its 50 DMA line ($52.97) with volume +15% above average behind today's big loss. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume are still needed to trigger a convincing technical buy signal. Previously met stubborn resistance in the $57-59 area. Gains into new high territory may mark the beginning of a substantial leg higher. The 3 latest quarterly comparisons through Mar '20 showed very strong earnings increases with greatly improved sales revenues growth in the Dec '19 and Mar '20 comparisons versus the year ago period.

Y - Erased a solid gain today with a "negative reversal" amid widespread market weakness. Found prompt support near its 50 DMA line ($419.58) in recent weeks while volume totals cooled. More damaging losses leading to a violation would trigger a technical sell signal. Subsequent gains above the pivot point must be backed by at least +40% above average volume to trigger a proper new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Fundamentals remain strong.

Recent gains above the pivot point were not backed by the +40% above average volume necessary to clinch a proper technical buy signal.
