Major Indices Ended Lower While Churning Higher Volume
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Dow fell 344 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite declined 1.2% and 0.8%, respectively. The selloff was broad, with the small-cap Russell 2000 index losing 0.9%. The reported volume totals were higher than the prior session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Breadth was negative as decliners led advancers by a 3-2 margin on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 60 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus the total of 52 on the prior session. New 52-week highs totals expanded and easily outnumbered new 52-week lows totals which were in the single digits on both exchanges. The major indices confirmed a new uptrend (M criteria) with recent follow-through gains backed by higher volume and more leadership. Investors are reminded to always make buying and selling decisions based based on the strict criteria and rules of the fact-based investment system.  PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average is perched near its record high following volume-driven gains.
U.S. stocks reversed early session gains to end lower on Wednesday, as investors weighed the outlook of the COVID-19 pandemic. Risk sentiment slipped after New York City became the latest area to reinstate virus-inspired restrictions. City officials announced its public school system would close starting tomorrow “out of an abundance of caution” after the city reached a 3% virus positivity rate. The update came as the country faces a continued upswing in COVID infections, with the seven day average of U.S. cases surpassing 150,000 for the first time on Monday. Still, vaccine optimism eased some concerns. Earlier today, Pfizer (PFE +0.78%) and BioNTech (BNTX +4.04%) released revised late-stage trial data which showed that their vaccine candidate was 95% effective in preventing COVID 19, better than the initially reported 90% efficacy.
All 11 S&P 500 sectors ended in negative territory, with six groups losing more than 1%. In corporate news, Boeing (BA -3.21%) reversed and closed lower following news the Federal Aviation Administration cleared the aerospace giant’s 737 Max jet for service. Target (TGT +2.34%) rose after beating analyst profit and revenue projections and posting a 20% increase in same-store-sales. Lowe’s (LOW -8.21%) fell as the home-improvement retailer missed consensus earnings estimates. - Treasuries were little changed, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note flat at 0.87%. In commodities, WTI crude edged up 0.7% to $41.71/barrel after an official government report showed a smaller-than-anticipated uptick in U.S. crude stockpiles. |

Y - Suffered a volume-driven loss today testing support at its 50 DMA line ($21.74). More damaging losses would raise concerns. It was highlighted in yellow with pivot point cited based on its 11/09/20 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report. It has formed an advanced "ascending base" marked by 3 pullbacks of 10-20% after a big breakaway gap on 7/24/20. Subsequent gains above the pivot point marked by +40% above average volume are needed to trigger a proper technical buy signal. Reported earnings +57% on +14% sales revenues for the Sep '20 quarter versus the year ago period, its 3rd consecutive quarterly earnings comparison above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) history has improved after a downturn in FY '17. See the latest FSU analysis for more details and a new annotated graph.
