Breadth Positive as Major Indices Ended Mixed
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The S&P 500 was able to eke out a weekly gain of 2.8%, which snapped a three-week slump. The Dow gained 2.7% on the week, while the Nasdaq outperformed with an increase of nearly 4%. Despite the weekly advance, the S&P 500 is still on pace to post its worst December performance since 1931, and its first annual loss since 2015. On Friday the Dow lost 76 points to 23,062 while the S&P 500 slipped 3 points to 2,485. The Nasdaq Composite eked out a 5 point gain to finish at 6,584. The volume totals were mixed, lighter than the prior session total on the NYSE and higher on the Nasdaq exchange. Advancers led decliners by almost a 2-1 margin on the NYSE and more than 2-1 on the Nasdaq exchange. Leadership remained elusive, however, as one high-ranked company from the Leaders List made a new 52-week high and was listed on the BreakOuts Page. New 52-week lows totals solidly outnumbered new 52-week highs totals which were still in the single digits on both the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. The major indices (M criteria) are still in a correction despite the big day of gains. Disciplined investors will wait for a convincing follow-through day, ideally between Day 4 and Day 7 of the rally attempt, to signal a change in market direction (M criteria) back to a bullish stance. The Featured Stocks Page provides the most timely analysis on high-ranked leaders. Charts used courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended lower on Day 3 of a new rally attempt.
The major averages toggled between gains and losses throughout the session, capping a wild week on Wall Street. Nine of 11 S&P 500 sectors declined on the session. Consumer Discretionary shares outperformed, with Amazon (AMZN +1.12%) edging higher. Tesla (TSLA +5.61%) rose after naming two new board members as part of an SEC settlement. Energy stocks lagged, despite WTI crude adding 1.6% to $45.33/barrel.
On the data front, a report showed pending home sales unexpectedly dipped 0.7% in November. A separate report showed manufacturing activity in the Chicago Fed region eased slightly in December after touching an 11-month high the prior month. Treasuries strengthened as the session wore on, with the yield on the 10-year note falling six basis points to 2.72%. The U.S. dollar was slightly weaker, while gold was essentially unchanged. |

Retail and Tech Indexes Rose
Kenneth J. Gruneisen - Passed the CAN SLIM® Master's Exam
The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD -0.14%) and the Bank Index ($BKX +0.13%) ended mixed and little changed while the Retail Index ($RLX +0.45%) posted a modest gain. The tech sector had a positive bias as the Networking Index ($NWX +0.68%) and Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.69%) rose but the Biotech Index ($BTK -0.07%) finished flat. Energy-linked groups were mixed as the Oil Services Index ($OSX +0.98%) rose and the Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.88%) fell. The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU -1.57%) was a standout decliner.
Charts courtesy of www.stockcharts.com
 PICTURED: The Semiconductor Index ($SOX +0.69%) is rebounding after a slump to lows not seen since August 2017.

Y - Color code is changed to yellow after it rebounded further above its closely coinciding 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines with today's 3rd consecutive gain backed by lighter volume. Resistance still remains due to overhead supply up to the $29 level.

Y - Pulled back today with lighter volume yet remains above its 50 DMA line ($51.80). It faces resistance due to overhead supply up to the $58.50 level. Found support near the recent low ($48.02 on 11/20/18) and above its 200 DMA line ($46.75) which defines the next important support. More damaging losses would raise concerns and trigger technical sell signals.
