The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up just 24 points to 15,889 after being down by as many as 123 points. The S&P 500 shed 2 points to 1,792 and the NASDAQ advanced less than a point to close at 4,038. Stocks were under pressure throughout much of the session as a better-than-expected ADP employment report heightened fears that the Federal Reserve may soon begin to taper their bond purchases. Despite the weakness, equities pared their losses as the Fed’s Beige Book showed only a modest expansion of the economy. Market volatility could continue to be a factor ahead of Friday’s closely watched non-farm payrolls report.

On the earnings front, Express Inc (EXP -22.9%) dove as the retailer posted a disappointing profit tally and lowered their full-year guidance. In other news, shares of Hewlett-Packard (HPQ +2.3%) rose after the stock received some positive analyst comments.

Turning to fixed income markets, Treasuries were lower along the curve. The benchmark 10-year note was down 7/16 of a point to yield 2.84% and the 30-year bond was off 29/32 to yield 3.90%.

The Market (M criteria) remains in a confirmed rally, however showing signs of distribution and waning leadership, yet the Dow and S&P 500 Index both remain perched near new all-time highs. As always, any new buying efforts should be selective.

PICTURED: The Bank Index ($BKX +0.37%) halted its slide near prior highs.

CELG has made limited progress above the pivot point long ago cited based on its 8/01/13 high. It technically broke out of another short flat base that formed but no new pivot point was cited. Fundamental flaws may be considered an over-riding concern arguing against new buying efforts. It reported earnings +21% on +18% sales revenues for the Sep '13 quarter. below the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria) - (see red circle on daily graph).

After its last appearance in this FSU section on 11/01/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Testing 50-Day Average Following Sub Par Earnings Increase", subsequent technical sell signals were noted. However, it halted its slide with a gain on 11/07/13 backed by heavier volume (5.7 million shares traded) and after it rebounded above its 50-day moving average its outlook continued improving. While any stock that is sold can always be bought back later if strength returns, investors owning it now may continue give it the benefit of the doubt while being on the watch for any weakness or noted technical sell signals.

The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 1,623 in Dec '11 to 2,074 in Sep '13, a reassuring trend concerning the I criteria.  However, the company is already well-known by the institutional crowd, and that means that very few are likely to just be discovering it. The concern is only great if it shows any sign of technical weakness
