Breadth Negative as Indices Slumped Again

The major averages retreated on Thursday. Volume on the session was mixed, higher than the prior session's volume total on the NYSE and lower on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by more than a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 15 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 prior session total of 20 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows trumped new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for 4 of the 15 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) uptrend has clearly come under pressure this week while leadership quickly evaporated.  Any new buying efforts should be selective and focused in stocks meeting all key criteria of the fact-based investment system.

 

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 70 points to 16,915 while testing a multi-month upward trendline defining near-term support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Stocks fell as renewed sovereign debt fears and prompted another round of profit taking. As a result, a positive employment update was on the back burner. Jobless claims unexpectedly fell by 11,000 last week to more than a one-month low of 304,000. A separate report showed wholesale inventories increased by a less than anticipated +0.5% in May.
Overall, eight of the 10 S&P 500 sectors declined. Consumer discretionary and energy were the worst performing groups. Lumber Liquidators (LL -21.3%) after posting disappointing earnings results and the company cut its full-year forecast. Schlumberger (SLB -1.4%) edged lower. Financials also weighed on the market as Bank of America (BAC -1.1%) and JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM -0.8%) fell ahead of their second-quarter profit tallies next week. On the upside, telecom and utilities advanced including Verizon (VZ +1.3%) and Dominion Resources (D +1.1%) as investors turned to defensive issues.
Treasuries advanced for a fourth day and a government auction of 30-year bonds attracted average demand. The 10-year note rose 4/32 to yield 2.54%. The 30-year bond gained 2/32 to yield 3.37%.

Financial, Retail, Tech, and Commodity-Linked Groups Fell

The Retail Index ($RLX -1.19%) and financial shares were negative influences on the major averages on Thursday. The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.23%) and the Bank Index ($BKX -0.74%) fell. Commodity-linked groups retreated as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.98%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.34%), and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.85%) slumped. Modest losses for the Networking Index ($NWX -0.72%), Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.48%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.44%) rounded out the widely negative session.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.48%) is consolidating near 2014 highs well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Forming Handle on Cup-With-Handle Base Pattern

Under Armour Inc (UA -$1.72 or -2.87% to $58.19) encountered distributional pressure today while leadership contracted and the broader market averages retreated from their record highs. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point based on its 7/01/14 high in the earlier mid-day report (read here). Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal.

Perched near its 52-week high, it has been forming a handle on the right side of a 17-week cup-with-handle base. One concern is that the recent losses have been backed by near or above average volume, whereas the fact-based investment system's winning models typically saw volume dry up while the handle was formed. That is all the more reason that patience and discipline are paramount, as there is no advantage to be gained by getting in "early" before fresh proof of new and meaningful institutional buying demand drives the price to new highs.

The high-ranked Apparel - Clothing manufacturing firm's quarterly earnings comparisons have been above the +25% guideline (C criteria) through Mar '14 and its annual earnings (A criteria) history has also been strong. The stock found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during its consolidation then rebounded since noted in the 3/20/14 mid-day report with caution - "Since a downturn in the Mar '13 quarter its recent quarterly comparisons have shown earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) and it has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history. Patient investors may watch for a new base or secondary buy point to develop and be noted in the weeks ahead." 

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 637 in Dec '13 to 725 in Jun '14, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.9 is an unbiased indication that its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
