TODAY'S SPECIAL NOTICE

Deterioration has the market uptrend under pressure (M criteria) and having the overall look of a more serious correction. A caution flag has been raised by the technical damage in the major indices coupled with a shrinking list of stocks hitting new highs. 


Major Indices Sank as Distributional Pressure Intensified

The Dow lost 1276 points, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 5.2% amid weakness in Technology shares. The S&P 500 shed 4.3% to fall below the psychologically important 4,000 level. All three indexes have posted their worst day since 2020. The volume totals reported were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange, indicative of an increase in institutional selling pressure termed "distribution". Breadth was clearly negative as decliners led advancers by more than an 8-1 margin on the NYSE and by more than a 3-1 margin on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership thinned as there were only 3 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, down abruptly from the total of 21 on the prior session. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs on both the NYSE and the Nasdaq exchange. The market uptrend is now under pressure (M criteria). Any sustainable rally requires a healthy crop of leading stocks hitting new highs.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index abruptly sliced below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line with a big loss on higher volume. The recent low defines near-term support where a violation would raise greater concerns of a more serious market correction.

U.S. equities finished sharply lower Tuesday following a hotter-than-anticipated inflation report. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) unexpectedly climbed 0.1% in August, missing estimates of a 0.1% decline, despite a drop in gas prices. The headline figure remained elevated at a higher-than-expected 8.3% year-over-year, easing from July’s 8.5% annual increase but still well above the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 2% target. Furthermore, core CPI (excluding the more volatile food and energy components) climbed 6.3% on an annual basis in August, missing estimates of a 6.1% year-over-year increase. The report is the last major data point before the Fed’s policy meeting on September 21. Investor sentiment cooled as the probability for a third-straight 75 basis point (0.75%) rate hike at the next policy meeting increased.

Treasury yields jumped following the report, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note adding six basis points (0.06%) to 3.42%. The yield on the more Fed-sensitive two-year note climbed 19 basis points (0.19%) to 3.75%, its highest level since November 2007. A gauge of the U.S. dollar gained 1.4% as expectations about the path of interest rates shifted to include further aggressive measures by the Fed. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude slipped 0.3% to $87.53/barrel amid a stronger dollar and renewed recessionary concerns.

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

The Retail Index ($RLX -6.26%) was a standout decliner while the Bank Index ($BKX -3.93%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -3.21%) also fell. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -6.18%) led the tech sector lower while the Networking Index ($NWX -4.03%) and Biotech Index ($BTK -4.40%) both fell more than -4%. Commodity-linked groups clearly had a negative bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -3.94%), Oil Services Index ($OSX -4.21%), and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -2.32%) each suffered a large loss.

PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -6.18%) suffered a big loss and fell near the prior low. It harecently sputtered below its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

High-Ranked Solar Energy Firm Hovering Near All-Time High

Enphase Energy Inc (ENPH -$3.43 or -1.11% to $305.50) is hovering near its all-time high after a volume-driven breakout gain on 9/07/22 following a brief consolidation. Recent lows in the $272-272 area define initial support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($264). Fundamentals remain strong. 

ENPH was highlighted in yellow in the 7/28/22 mid-day report (read here). There were 3 consecutive volume-driven gains last week as it rallied and closed above the pivot point cited based on its 11/22/21 high plus 10 cents triggering a technical buy signal. It was last shown with an annotated graph on 8/19/22 under the headline, "Enphase Energy Consolidating After Rallying to New Highs". It has an Earnings Per Share Rating of 98. The company has reported very strong sales revenues and earnings increases in quarterly comparisons through Jun '22 versus the year ago periods, above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). It has a strong annual earnings (A criteria) history since FY '18 after years of losses.

The company hails from the Energy-Solar group which is currently ranked 1st of the 197 Industry Groups (L criteria). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,068 in Dec '20 to 1,858 in Jun '22, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.8 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days.
