Breadth Negative As Major Averages Fell

On Tuesday's session the major indices ended with small losses while volume totals were mixed, lower on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers led decliners by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and by more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 19 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 16 stocks. New 52-week highs outnumbered new 52-week lows on the NYSE but new lows led new highs on the Nasdaq exchange. There were gains for only 3 of the 11 of the high-ranked companies currently included on the Featured Stocks Page. The market (M criteria) deterioration recently earned the label of a "correction" as the technical damage became significant to chart readers and leadership (stocks hitting new 52-week highs) waned.  Disciplined investors limit losses and reduce market exposure during rough market periods by selling any stocks which fall more than -7% from their purchase price.

 

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index fell near its 50-day moving average (DMA) 4,384 on Day 3 of the nascent rally attempt. The window is open for an ideal follow-through day of gains on Days 4-7 of the rally attempt. Caution is advised until the market outlook turns favorable for new buying efforts, meanwhile it is an ideal time to keep worthy buy candidates on your watchlist.

Networking and Broker/Dealer Indexes Led Decliners

The Bank Index ($BKX +0.07%) held its ground while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.44%) and the Retail Index ($RLX -0.25%) were negative influences on the major averages on Tuesday. The Networking Index ($NWX -0.83%) led the tech sector lower as the Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.16%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.11%) edged lower. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.41%) was a standout gainer while the energy-related groups including the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.66%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.64%) suffered smaller losses.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +1.14%) is consolidating above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines, perched within striking distance of its 2014 highs.
