Indices' Weakness Labeled Another Correction Following Noted Deterioration

On Wednesday advancers outnumbered decliners by a 3-to-2 ratio on the NYSE, however advancers only narrowly led decliners on the Nasdaq exchange. Volume totals were reported lighter than Tuesday's totals on the Nasdaq exchange and on the NYSE, indicating that buying demand was not picking up from the institutional crowd. New 52-week lows outnumbered new 52-week highs for a second day in a row on both major exchanges, after it was noted in the prior commentary that new highs had been until then outnumbering new lows since August 31, 2010.  There were only 5 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List making new 52-week highs and appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, down from the total of 8 issues on the prior session. Leadership has waned significantly since November 4th, when were 188 stocks appearing on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page and significantly more new highs showing up on the Nasdaq and NYSE. Additionally, the newspaper's latest read on the market is that the latest confirmed rally which began with the September 1st follow-through day has ended, and the broad market (M criteria) is back in a correction.

Economic reports were lackluster. The annual increase in core consumer prices was the smallest on record in October. Housing starts in the same month slumped to their lowest level in more than a year. Commodity prices were under pressure after the Chinese government said it will take measures to stabilize prices. Crude oil fell almost $2 a barrel to a four-week low, even after the U.S. Energy Department said U.S. supplies dropped the most in 15 months.

There were gains for 20 of the 29 high-ranked stocks currently listed on the Featured Stocks Page, however, among the list's 9 decliners was Network Appliance Inc (NTAP -6.53%), which dove with more than 3 times average volume for a 5th consecutive loss. The Computer - Data Storage firm violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs which were previously cited as important chart support to watch, triggering technical sell signals.

Based on the recent deterioration and dearth of leadership, investors should reduce margin exposure and refrain from new buying efforts. Disciplined investors would wait until a new confirmed rally with a follow-through day suggests that another sustainable advance may be at hand. Keep your focus on the action in the major averages and high-ranked leaders to know that your investment portfolio is in proper step with the market direction (M criteria).

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average's pullback -3.88% from its latest high has the blue chip index near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. Meanwhile, the other major averages have slightly more cushion between their current levels ands their respective short-term averages.

Financial Groups Among Worst Performers Weighing On Market

Financial shares were an influential negative on the major averages again as the Bank Index ($BKX -1.40%) and Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.39%) ended lower. While the Retail Index ($RLX +0.80%), Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.66%), and Internet Index ($IIX +0.64%) posted modest gains, the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -0.06%), Biotechnology Index ($BTK +0.04%), and Networking Index ($NWX +0.09%) finished virtually flat.  The Oil Services Index ($OSX +1.32%) tacked on a solid gain while the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI +0.09%) and Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +0.22%) barely edged higher.

Charts courtesy www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.39%) ended lower, consolidating above prior highs and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and 200 DMA line. It is obviously in better technical shape than the Bank Index.  However, any subsequent deterioration in this index would bode poorly for any new rally's chances.

High-Ranked Networking Firm In Sinking Broader Market

Rackspace Hosting Inc (RAX +$0.08 or +0.30% to $26.73) edged higher today on light volume. Weakness after a gap down on Monday has it slumping toward prior highs near $26 that define initial chart support above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and an upward trendline connecting its July-October lows. This high-ranked Internet - Network Solutions firm is -8.9% from last week's all-time highs. Since it was last analyzed in this FSU section on 9/21/10 with an annotated graph under the headline "No Overhead Supply Left To Act As Resistance" it made quick progress, then found support near its old chart highs while going through a choppy consolidation. A subsequent rally to new highs was marked by heavy volume again, and now the volume totals have been cooling while it is consolidating, but it is extended from a proper base. Additionally, the M criteria is arguing against new buying efforts again based on recently noted deterioration in the major average and a sudden evaporation of leadership (new highs) since November 4th when new highs totals on the exchanges recently peaked.

No overhead supply remains to hinder its progress. This high-ranked Internet-Networking Solutions firm has earned very high ranks, and 3 of the past 4 quarterly earnings comparisons showed better than +25% increases. Its annual earnings history (A criteria) since trading began in 2008 has been good.

More damaging losses leading to a close below its short-term average would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.

Subscriber Questions:

November 15, 2010

Dear Ken,

I am a free member and wondering what additional information you may have published concerning NTAP. I look forward to your comments and may consider upgrading to your pay services. Thanks!

Best regards, Missy

 
Ken's Response:

 November 17, 2010

Dear Missy,
 
Thanks for writing in. I received your info request and wanted to share this information about NTAP. As mentioned in this evening's commentary "Network Appliance Inc (NTAP -6.53%) dove with more than 3 times average volume for a 5th consecutive loss. The Computer - Data Storage firm violated its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and prior highs which were previously cited as important chart support to watch, triggering technical sell signals."
 
Prior to today's action, NTAP had recently been noted as - "Consolidating above its 50 DMA line and prior highs that define important chart support to watch. It is extended from any sound base."  It is up +15% from when it was featured in the 9/08/10 CANSLIM.net mid-day report noted -"Hit a new 52-week high today, rising from an ascending base type pattern. Color code is changed to yellow with pivot point based on its 52-week high plus ten cents. Recent quarterly comparisons (C criteria) showed accelerating sales revenues and strong earnings increases, but a down turn in its FY '09 earnings is a concern with respect to its annual earnings (A criteria) history."
 
The latest analysis on NTAP from our "Featured Stock Update" section is included below:
 
Wedging To New Highs Without Great Volume Conviction- Wednesday, November 03, 2010

Network Appliance Inc. (NTAP +$0.15 or +0.28% to $53.75) posted another small gain today with light volume for a new high close. An upward trendline defines initial support above recent lows near $47 and its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. It has shown healthy action since its last appearance with an annotated graph on 9/08/10 under the headline "Gains For New Highs Today Backed By Nearly Twice Average Volume". Increasing institutional ownership (I criteria) is a very reassuring sign, having climbed from 308 top-rated funds in Sept '09 to 368 top-rated funds in Sep '10. There is no resistance remaining, making higher prices more likely for this high-ranked leader. However, its recent price/volume action is termed "wedging" as it has crept to new highs without great volume conviction. It has not formed a sound base pattern recently, and disciplined investors know that it is usually best to avoid chasing stocks that are extended from a sound base.  Patience may allow for it to form a proper base. Recent quarterly comparisons (C criteria) showed accelerating sales revenues and strong earnings increases, but a down turn in its FY '09 earnings has been noted as a concern with respect to its annual earnings (A criteria) history. Long ago, this stock was featured on Thursday, March 30th, 2006 in the CANSLIM.net Mid Day Breakouts Report (read here). In May 2006, weak action resulted in it being dropped from the Featured Stocks list.
