An unexpectedly strong employment report sent stocks higher. Non-farm payrolls increased by 204,000 last month which easily beat expectations for a gain of 120,000. The encouraging jobs data overshadowed updates on the consumer. The University of Michigan's consumer confidence survey fell to the lowest level since December 2011. Other data revealed consumer spending slowed in September while overall income expanded for a second month.

Eight of the 10 S&P 500 sectors advanced. Financials and materials were the best performing groups. JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM +4.47%) and DuPont (DD +1.89%) rose. In tech, Apple Inc's (AAPL +1.57%) increase contributed the most to the benchmark index's gains. Telecommunications and utilities declined. CenturyLink (CTL -1.51%) and Exelon (EXC -0.77%) fell.

Treasury prices dropped the most since July. The 10-year note fell more than a full point to yield 2.75%.

Market (M criteria) conditions deteriorated as the major averages encountered distributional pressure this week putting the previously established uptrend under pressure. Disciplined investors should be especially watchful for sell signals in individual issues and look to lock in profits and reduce exposure.  New buying efforts should be limited and very selective.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index rebounded near 2013 and all-time highs, however volume was lighter behind the gain than on the prior damaging distribution day.

Financials helped the market rally as the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +2.74%) and Bank Index ($BKX +3.44%) both posted large gains. The Retail Index ($RLX +1.39%) was also a positive influence. Commodity-linked groups had a positive bias as the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.82%) posted a modest gain and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +1.04%) and Oil Services Index ($OSX +2.27%) posted larger gains. The tech sector saw solids gains from the Biotechnology Index ($BTK +3.81%), Networking Index ($NWX +2.69%), and the Semiconductor Index ($SOX +1.17%).

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +3.44%) played a very important role in the major averages' rally as it rose from support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line.

Soufun Hldgs Ltd Ads (SFUN +$5.79 or +11.26% to $57.19) posted a large gain with above average volume, but lighter volume than the prior session. Wider than usual intra-day swings indicate uncertainty which often bodes poorly for stocks. It undercut its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior low ($48.30 on 10/19/13) intra-day Thursday yet rebounded to finish above that important short-term average and in the middle of the session's wider than usual range. More damaging losses would raise greater concerns, and the 50 DMA line is an area where it is likely to attract support from the institutional crowd unless their opinion on is outlook changes. It was last shown in this FSU section on 10/01/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Following Great Rally No New Base Has Been Formed".

Keep in mind that 3 out of 4 stocks tend to move in the direction of the major averages so broader market action (M criteria) will largely determine whether or not it might break down or produce more climactic gains in the weeks ahead. Prior reports cautioned members - "Disciplined investors avoid chasing stocks too extended from sound bases."  It has traded up as much as +101% since it first appeared highlighted in yellow in the 7/16/13 the mid-day report (read here) while it spiked to new 52-week and all-time highs and quickly rallied above its "max buy" level.

Fundamentals remain strong as it reported +56% earnings on +49% sales revenues for the Jun '13 quarter versus the year ago period, solidly satisfying the C criteria. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 76 in Sep '12 to 113 in Jun '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its small supply (S criteria) of only 33.4 million shares in the public float can contribute to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling.
