Major Averages Continue Falling While New Leadership Remains Elusive

It was a dismal week on Wall Street as the latest rally failed, the major averages violated support, and fell to fresh 2010 lows. As expected Friday's pre-holiday volume totals were reported lower on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange compared to Thursday's levels. Decliners led advancers by approximately a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were only 5 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made a new 52-week high and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, a total only 1 better than the prior session. Meanwhile, new 52-week lows substantially outnumbered new 52-week highs on the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. As leadership evaporated in recent sessions, in this commentary it was repeatedly noted - "Without a healthy crop of leaders hitting new highs it is hard for the major averages to sustain a rally."

Stocks closed lower on Monday after a relatively benign G-20 meeting. The G-20 met in Toronto and pledged to cut deficits in order to help stabilize the global economy. Elsewhere, US consumer spending and personal income rose. On Tuesday, stocks fell hard across the globe after concern spread that China's robust economy was slowing. China's leading economic indicators fell and Citigroup (C) said China’s exports will face "strong headwinds" in the second half of the year due to stricter measures from Beijing and the ongoing European debt crisis. US stocks continued to fall after US consumer confidence tanked in June. The Conference Board’s index of consumer confidence fell to 52.9 from May's revised reading of 62.7. The dismal labor market was cited as a primary cause for the ongoing malaise. Elsewhere, the S&P/Case-Shiller index of home prices rose +3.8% from April 2009 which was the largest year-over-year gain since September 2006.

The second quarter ended on Wednesday sending the Nasdaq Composite and the benchmark S&P 500 Index both fell -12% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the small cap Russell 2000 Index skidded -10%, marking their worst quarters since Q4 2008. It was the tech-heavy Nasdaq's worst second quarter since 2002. In addition, it was worrisome to see the S&P 500 close below 1,040 which has served as formidable support for most of the year. 

On Thursday, stocks slid after a series of tepid economic reports were released. US jobless claims unexpectedly rose to 472,000 last week, pending home sales tanked at twice the rate Wall Street had expected and US manufacturing echoed the ominous news from Europe and Asia. This was the latest round of tepid economic data which suggests the economic recovery is less than stellar. Stocks ended lower on Friday after the Labor Department said US employers slashed -125,000 last month and the jobless rate fell to 9.5%, factory orders also fell last month.

The market is in a correction, which emphasizes the importance of raising cash and adopting a strong defensive stance until a new follow-through day emerges. For the past several weeks, this column has steadily noted the importance of remaining very selective and disciplined because all of the major averages are still trading below their downward sloping 50-day moving average (DMA) lines. Their 50 DMA line may continue to act as stubborn resistance. It was also recently noted that the NYSE Composite Index's 50 DMA line already sliced below the 200 DMA line, an event known by market technicians as a "death cross" which usually has bearish implications. On Friday, the benchmark S&P 500 Index's 50 DMA line officially undercut its longer term 200 DMA line which is not a healthy sign. Trade accordingly.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average's 7 session losing streak led to new 2010 lows.  All three major averages have tallied 9 losses in the past 10 sessions.




Internet Index Now Testing 2010 Low

The Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.34%) and Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.59%) posted small gains while influential groups weighing negatively on the major averages on Friday included the Retail Index ($RLX -1.07%) and financial shares as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.58%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.27%) ended lower.  The Internet Index ($IIX -0.69%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.45%) finished modestly and the Networking Index ($NWX -0.11%) also ended with a small loss. Commodity-linked groups were quiet as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.07%), Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.04%), and Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.28%) ended very little changed.

PICTURED: The Internet Index ($IIX -0.69%) violated its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and continued its slide down to a test of the 2010 lows.

Relative Strength Waned During Slump Near 200 Day Moving Average

Often, when a leading stock is setting up to breakout of a solid base, it is highlighted in CANSLIM.net's Mid-Day Breakouts Report.  The most relevant factors are noted in the report which allows prudent CANSLIM oriented investors to place the issue in their watch list.  After doing any necessary backup research, the investor is prepared to act if and when the stock triggers a technical buy signal (breaks above its pivot point on more than +50% average turnover). In the event the stock fails to trigger a technical buy signal and its price declines then it will simply be removed from the watch list.

American Public Education Inc. (APEI -$1.02 or -1.81% to $41.40) suffered its 6th consecutive loss and slumped toward the next important support level near its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and prior chart lows in the $40 area. Its Relative Strength rank has slumped under the investment system's 80+ guideline to a 74 (see red circle), raising concerns. Its color code was changed to green as it slumped under its 50 DMA line this week amid broad market (M criteria) weakness. It made limited progress after its 6/07/10 gain and close above its pivot point with above average volume triggered a technical buy signal.  Since its appearance in the 6/07/10 mid-day report with an annotated graph (read here), for-profit educators recently stalled as proposed regulatory changes have been feared to have a negative impact.  Additional technical deterioration may trigger more worrisome sell signals and prompt its removal from the Featured Stocks list.

Y - Brazil-based beverage firm found support near its 50 DMA line this week. Color code was changed to yellow again based on its resilience. A new FTD is needed before any buying efforts may be justifiable under the investment system's guidelines. It was featured in yellow in the 6/29/10 mid-day report (read here) with a note while - "perched near all-time highs after building an orderly base pattern and finding impressive support near its 200 DMA line in recent months. It has a great annual earnings (A criteria) history and its recent quarterly earnings and sales revenues increases have shown acceleration. A gain above its pivot point with heavy volume still needed to confirm a proper new technical buy signal."
