Major Indices Slump Dear Rally's Day 1 Lows as Leadership Thins

Stocks finished lower Monday. The Dow fell 395 points to 25,017, while the S&P 500 dropped 45 points to 2,690. The Nasdaq Composite was down 219 points to 7,028. The volume totals reported were lighter on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange versus the prior session. Decliners led advancers by nearly 3-1 on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. There were 21 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, matching the 21 on the prior session.  New 52-week lows totals expanded and solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. Technically, the major indices (M criteria) are under pressure while leadership is thin. ThFeatured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leadersStrict buying and selling rules should always be followed on a case by case basis.

PICTURED: The S&P 500 Index is sputtering 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 extended last week’s decline as broad weakness in Tech shares continued to weigh on the major averages. Trade relations also garnered an outsized focus after Vice President Mike Pence reiterated the U.S. will not yield on tariffs unless China makes significant concessions. On the data front, a report showed homebuilder sentiment in November suffered its steepest monthly decline since February 2014.

Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory. The Tech sector led decliners, with Apple (AAPL -3.96%) down after The Wall Street Journal reported production orders were slashed for all three iPhone models unveiled earlier in the year. Chipmakers provided a headwind as NVIDIA (NVDA -12.00%) and Micron Technology (MU -6.61%) fell. The oft-cited “FAANG” fell 4.8%. Industrials also underperformed in sympathy with lingering trade concerns, with Boeing (BA -4.47%) and Caterpillar (CAT -3.06%) slumping. In earnings, JD.com (JD -8.42%) fell after the Chinese eCommerce giant missed analyst revenue estimates.

Treasuries were higher with the yield on the benchmark 10-year note down two basis points to 3.05%. In commodities, WTI crude gained 0.5% to $56.76/barrel. COMEX gold rose 0.1% to $1,224.70/ounce amid a weaker dollar.

Retail and Tech Indices Had a Negative Bias

The Retail Index ($RLX -3.54%) was a standout decliner that created a drag on the major indices while the Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.31%) fell and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.22%) eked out a small gain. The Semiconductor Index ($SOX -3.86%), Networking Index ($NWX -2.17%) and the Biotech Index ($BTK -2.37%) each suffered big losses. Commodity-linked groups were less decisive as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.37%) edged higher but the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.99%) and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -0.57%) both fell.

Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com

PICTURED: The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -1.31%) is sputtering below its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines after recently slumping to new 2018 lows.

Slump Below Prior Lows Raises More Serious Concerns

Dominos Pizza Inc (DPZ -$12.55 or -4.74% to $252.07) slumped below its 200-day moving average (DMA) line and below prior lows ($253) today triggering a technical sell signal. It will be dropped from the Featured Stocks list tonight. Recently it met resistance at its 50 DMA line ($273.87), but a rebound above the 50 DMA line is needed for its outlook to improve. Fundamentals remain strong.

The popular pizza firm recently reported earnings +54% on +22% sales revenues for the Sep '18 quarter, continuing its strong earnings track record. That marked its 9th consecutive quarterly comparison above the +25% minimum earnings guideline (C criteria). Annual earnings (A criteria) growth has been good. The company has a new CEO effective 7/02/18. The Retail - Restaurants industry group currently has a Relative Strength rating of 91, and leadership (L criteria) from others in the group is also a reassuring sign.

It was shown in this FSU section on 10/31/18 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Found Support at 200-Day Moving Average Line". DPZ was highlighted in the 2/20/18 mid-day report with pivot point cited based on its 1/25/18 high plus 10 cents (read here). The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 772 in Mar '17 to 978 in Sep '18 a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria. Its current Up/Down Volume Ratio of 0.9 is an unbiased indication its shares have been under accumulation over the past 50 days. It has a small supply of only 41.6 million shares outstanding (S criteria).
