Major Indices Suffer as Distributional Pressure Weighs on Stocks
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Stocks finished lower Wednesday. The Dow fell 205 points to 25,080, while the S&P 500 lost 20 points to 2,701. The Nasdaq Composite was down 64 points to 7,136. The volume totals reported were higher on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session, indicative of distributional pressure. Decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 10 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 10 on the prior session. New 52-week lows expanded again and easily outnumbered shrinking new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, bullish action last week marked a shift in the market direction (M criteria) confirming a new uptrend, however, pressure returned as leadership has again grown thin. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Strict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index finished lower for a 5th consecutive session, slumping further below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and toward the prior low. The solid follow-through day on 11/07/18 was noted as a reassuring sign, however, subsequent losses undercutting the Day 1 lows would technically end the latest confirmed rally.
U.S. equities failed to sustain this morning’s positive momentum, with the S&P 500 slipping to its lowest point in two weeks. On the data front, an update on inflation showed consumer prices rose 0.3% in October. This marked the largest gain in nine months, though the uptick was largely due to rising gas prices. Core CPI (ex-food and energy) advanced 2.1% year-over-year last month, slightly below estimates of 2.2% but still above the Fed’s long-term target.
Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. Financials led decliners with JP Morgan Chase & Co (JPM -2.06%) slumping and Goldman Sachs (GS -1.25%) falling to its worst level since November 2016. Tech stocks lagged, with the group on pace to fall nearly 4.5% on the week. Shares of Apple (AAPL -2.82%) continued to weigh on the market, dipping into bear market territory. Consumer Discretionary stocks erased earlier gains with Netflix (NFLX -2.61%) and Amazon (AMZN -1.97%).
Treasuries caught a perceived “safe haven” bid, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down two basis points to 3.12%. In commodities, WTI crude added 1.0% to $56.26/barrel, snapping longest losing streak on record. COMEX gold rose 0.9% to $1,212.10/ounce amid a weaker dollar. |

Consolidating Near 50-Day Moving Average After Finding Support
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
Five Below Inc (FIVE +$0.67 or 0.55% to $122.88) posted another small gain today while consolidating above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line ($121.53). It still faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $136 level. It found support near the prior high, but subsequent losses below the recent low ($108.76 on 10/26/18) would raise serious concerns.
Earnings rose +40% on +23% sales revenues for the Jul '18 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record as 9 of the past 10 quarterly comparisons versus the year ago periods showed earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). The Retail - Discount & Variety firm has a 98 Earnings Per Share Rating and matches the fact-based investment system's winning models with a good annual earnings (A criteria) track record.
Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 1.2 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. Its current Timeliness Rating is A and its Sponsorship Rating is B. FIVE was last shown in this FSU section on 10/25/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Sputtering Below 50-Day Moving Average Near Prior High". It traded up as much as +138% since highlighted in yellow with new pivot point cited based on its 5/19/17 high plus 10 cents in the 10/06/17 mid-day report (read here).
FIVE had a choppy history since its $17 IPO in July 2012 and 3 subsequent Secondary Offerings. It still has a small supply of 55.7 million shares outstanding (S criteria), which can lead to greater price volatility in the event of institutional buying or selling. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 465 in Sep '17 to 606 in Sep '18, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.

Y - Encountered distributional pressure and finished lower today after challenging its 52-week high. Very little resistance remains due to overhead supply. Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may trigger a technical buy signal. Recent low ($20.25 on 10/26/18) defines important support below its 50 DMA line. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.

Found support above its 50 DMA line ($178) after recently reporting earnings +22% on +2% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, below the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria), raising fundamental concerns. The 50 DMA line and prior low ($170.04 on 9/28/18) define important near-term support.

Subsequent gains above the pivot point backed by at least +40% above average volume may clinch a convincing new (or add on) technical buy signal."

Color code was changed to yellow and a new pivot point is cited based on its 10/01/18 high plus 10 cents. Subsequent volume-driven gains above the pivot point may trigger a new (or add-on) technical buy signal. The recent low ($84.66 on 10/11/18) defines the next important support to watch.
