Breadth Negative as Stocks Reversed Early Gains

The S&P 500 Index briefly hit its best level in five months before erasing early session gains to end down 0.9%. The Dow added 10 points, while the Nasdaq Composite slipped 2.1%. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of increased "distributional" selling from institutional investors. There were 91 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 49 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week lows totals on both exchanges. The major indices are in a confirmed uptrend (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of new leaders, so it remains ever-important to see substantial new highs totals.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded up earlier, but met resistance and finished the session below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line. 

U.S. stocks finished mixed on Monday.Investors weighed COVID-19-related headlines, with news out of California skewing to the downside. Los Angeles and San Diego schools announced plans for all-virtual learning in the fall, seeming to overshadow optimism surrounding COVID-19 treatment and vaccine candidates. Pfizer (PFE +4.08%) and BioNTech (BNTX +10.55%) reported that two of their experimental vaccines had been “fast-tracked” by the FDA for accelerated review.

Tech and Tech-related names sold off in afternoon trading. Seven of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. In earnings, PepsiCo (PEP +0.33%) reported a top and bottom line beat stemming from a 4% increase in organic sales of its snacks. In other stock news, Tesla (TSLA -3.08%) had a "negative reversal" after it reached a new all-time high during intraday trading, briefly lifting its market cap ranking within the top ten of all U.S. companies. Meanwhile, Moderna (MRNA +14.65%) rallied following a positive Wall Street analyst rating initiation and news that the biotech company would become a member of the Nasdaq 100 on July 20. Elsewhere, Maxim Integrated Products (MXIM +8.11%) gapped up after agreeing to be acquired by fellow semiconductor maker Analog Devices (ADI -5.82%) in an all-stock deal worth nearly $21 billion.

In commodities, WTI crude declined 2.2% to $39.65/barrel amid speculation that OPEC and its allies could opt to pare back historic production curbs. Treasuries strengthened slightly, with the yield on the 10-year note down one basis point to 0.62%.

Bank Index Posts Gain Ahead of a Wave of Earnings Reports

Financial stocks were mixed as the Broker/Dealer ($XBD -0.39%) edged lower and the Bank ($BKX +0.94%) notched a gain. The Retail ($RLX -2.06%) fell. Commodity-linked groups lost ground as the Gold & Silver ($XAU -3.43%) slumped and the Oil Services ($OSX -2.90%) and Integrated Oil ($XOI -0.81%) both fell. The tech sector saw unanimous losses from the Semiconductor ($SOX -1.72%), Networking ($NWX -2.21%), and the Biotech ($BTK -2.54%). 
Chart courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Bank ($BKX +0.94%) posted a gain, however it recently slumped below its 50 DMA line after meeting resistance at its 200 DMA line.  It has formed a series of higher lows while rebounding from the March low. On Tuesday there are earnings reports due from Citigroup (C), Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC) and JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM).  The market's reaction to the reports and the guidance provided by these key financial players could result in a decisive move toward the prior low, or perhaps another run at the 200 DMA line. The financials are reliable "leading indicators" and may give investors an important signal as to whether or not the current rally will continue  to be productive. Stay tuned!

Negative Reversal After Recently Wedging into New High Territory

Chegg Inc (CHGG -$4.56 or -6.08% to $70.46) had a "negative reversal" today after hitting a new all-time high, finishing lower with a big loss on higher (near average). Its color code was changed to yellow after pulling back below its "max buy" level. Recent gains above the pivot point were backed by below average volume, action that is termed "wedging", as opposed to a strong technical buy signal. Prior highs in the $68 area defines initial support to watch on pullbacks.

CHGG was highlighted in yellow in the 6/17/20 mid-day report (read here) with a new pivot point cited based on its 5/15/20 high plus 10 cents after a flat 5-week base. It was last shown in this FSU section on 6/18/20 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Formed a Flat Base Perched Within Striking Distance of 52-Week High".

It completed its $13 IPO in November of 2013 and another new Public Offering in August of 2017. It has 123.6 million shares outstanding. The number of high-ranked funds owning its shares rose from 360 in Sep '18 to 552 in Jun '20, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 2.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under heavy accumulation over the past 50 days. It has earned a Timeliness Rating of A and Sponsorship Rating of C.

It won't be reporting financial results for the Jun '20 quarter until 8/03/20. Earnings rose +47% on +35% sales revenues for the Mar '20 quarter, and prior earnings increases were well above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) have been growing at a strong pace since turning profitable in FY '16 following years of losses.

Y - Pulling back today. Hit a new all-time high on the prior session and volume was +105% above average as it traded above the pivot point but stalled and ended in the lower half of its intra-day range. Subsequent volume-driven gains and a close above the pivot point may clinch a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. Important near-term support is at its 50 DMA line ($119.28). Fundamentals remain strong.
