S&P 500 Index Pauses at All-Time High After 8 Consecutive Gains

The S&P 500 Index snapped its eight-day winning streak as it fell 7 points to 1,675. Volume totals rose behind Tuesday's losses versus the prior session volume totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, a sign of distributional pressure. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and by a narrower 7-6 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 68 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the prior session total of 121 stocks. The list of stocks hitting new 52-week highs contracted yet easily outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange.  There were losses for 10 of the 12 high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

The major averages retreated as investors reacted to hawkish Fed comments in addition to mixed economic data and earnings results. Kansas City Fed President George said cuts to the pace of the central bank's stimulus measures are appropriate given economic improvements. On the data front, for June the consumer price index rose the most since February amid a jump in gasoline prices. Industrial production rebounded in June +0.3% matching expectations for the best reading in four months, and a separate report showed homebuilder confidence increased in July to a seven-year high.

Overall, nearly every sector finished lower. Energy paced the decline as Marathon Petroleum Corp (MPC -4.34%). Materials also lagged behind, led lower by Mosaic Co (MOS -3.58%) after posting a disappointing profit tally. The Coca-Cola Company (KO -1.90%) also delivered weak earnings results, causing its shares to fall. The Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS -1.69% Earnings will stay in focus with notable reports out after the close from Yahoo! Inc (YHOO -1.68%) and CSX Corp (CSX +1.23%).

In fixed-income, Treasuries finished little changed. The 10-year note was up 1/32 to yield 2.53% and the 30-year bond gained 5/32 to yield 3.58%.

The market (M criteria) has flashed substantial strength and leadership on Thursday's session, making a favorable shift.  Now in a confirmed rally, odds are considered favorable for investors' success with new buying efforts.  Investors who have preserved their cash and confidence will be disciplined and selective while looking to be proactive and focused exclusively on the individual leaders best matching the winning models of the fact-based investment system.  Study the companies on the CANSLIM.net Featured Stocks Page - a page showing the most action-worthy candidates' latest notes and links to additional resources including detailed analysis with data-packed graphs which are annotated by a Certified expert.  The Premium Member Homepage - includes "dynamic archives" to all prior pay reports published.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index edged lower breaking a streak of 8 consecutive gains after rallying into new all-time high territory. The benchmark index is up +17.5% year-to-date.

Gold & Silver Index Rallied Amid Broader Weakness

The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +5.02%) was a standout gainer while weakness in the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.23%) and Bank Index ($BKX -0.80%) created a drag on the major averages Tuesday. Energy-related shares edged lower and the Oil Services Index ($OSX -1.06%) and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.48%) lost ground.  The Healthcare Index ($HMO -0.43%) and Retail Index ($RLX -0.34%) both finished with small losses.  The tech sector also saw losses from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -1.02%), Networking Index ($NWX -0.48%), and the Internet Index ($IIX -0.18%) while the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.35%) eked out a small gain.

Finished Session With Large Breakout Gain on 5 Times Average Volume

Soufun Hldgs Ltd Ads (SFUN +$5.33 or +19.31% to $32.93) was highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/28/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (read here). It spiked to new 52-week and all-time highs clinching a technical buy signal. It finished strong with a considerable gain backed by more than 5 times average volume as it blasted above its pivot point and quickly rallied above its "max buy" level. Prior highs in the $28-29 area define initial support to watch on pullbacks. It found support at its 200-day moving average (DMA) line during its long consolidation after dropped from the Featured Stocks list on 3/08/13. Fundamentals remained strong as it reported +135% earnings on +56% sales revenues for the Mar '13 quarter versus the year ago period. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 76 in Sep '12 to 86 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Approximately 40% of successful breakouts pull back and test support at their prior highs before continuing higher. Patient and disciplined investors watch out to avoid chasing extended stocks trading more than +5% above their pivot point. They may watch for opportunities to accumulate shares in strong leaders as secondary buy points and new bases possibly form and are noted in the weeks ahead. Keep in mind that during bullish market environments, strong leaders often will present multiple chances to accumulate their shares under the strict guidelines of the fact-based system.
