E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM -$1.04 or -2.13% to $47.81) tested support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) line again today with it 2nd consecutive loss backed by above average volume. Below that short-term average, the prior low ($44.83 on 6/05/13) defines the next important support level to watch. Its Accumulation/Distribution Rating has slumped to a D- from a B- when last appearing in this FSU section on 6/21/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Perched Near 52-Week High Enduring Distributional Pressure ". There was a "negative reversal" on 5/28/13 at its 52-week high. All new buying efforts are off while the major averages are in a correction, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria).  Patient investors may watch for a new confirmed rally to possibly be noted in the weeks ahead, meanwhile this high-ranked leader may be building a new base.

Based on the prior analysis a valid secondary buy point arguably exists from its successful test of support at the 10 WMA line, up to as much as +5% above the latest high ($51.72 X 1.05 = $54.31). However, all new buying efforts are off since the major averages fell into an ugly correction, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria).

E Q T Midstream Partners (EQM +$0.16 or +0.35% to $45.60) halted its slide today after 4 consecutive losses and clear signs of distributional pressure. It has been retreating since a "negative reversal" on 5/28/13 at its 52-week high. It is still well above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defining important near-term chart support. 

The weekly chart below shows it currently in the 7th week of trading since previous technical breakout, and it is slumping back toward its 10-week moving average (WMA) line, an important chart support level to watch. A valid secondary buy point may come into play upon a successful test of support at the 10 WMA, then up to as much as +5% above the latest high. As always, disciplined investors sell if a stock falls more than -7% from their purchase price.  EQM was last shown in this FSU section on 5/16/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Big Gains in First Few Weeks After Breakout Bode Well". Having rallied more than +20% in the first 2-3 weeks after its breakout, the investment system rules suggest holding such winners for a minimum of 8 weeks. This rule is because many of the investment system's biggest winners and best examples among the winning models were those companies that had tallied big gains shortly after their breakouts, then went on to produce dramatic gains.

This MLP in the Natural Gas business has reported strong results for the Mar '13 quarter, and quarterly earnings increases above the +25% minimum guideline (C criteria). Accelerating sales revenues increases are very reassuring, as its sales revenues increased by +18%, +26%, +38%, and +43% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '12 and Mar '13 quarters versus the year-ago periods, respectively. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 20 in Jun '12 to 37 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.  However, all bets are off if the major averages fall into an ugly correction, since 3 out of 4 stocks follow the direction of the major averages (M criteria). If there is a technical breakdown in any individual stock you do not have to wait until you are down -7% to sell it, it may be wise to sell it sooner and preserve a small gain, or walk away with an even smaller loss of just a few percentage points.

This MLP in the Natural Gas business has prior highs which coincide with its 50-day moving average (DMA) line defining important near-term chart support to watch in the $41 area. It was last shown in this FSU section on 4/25/13 with an annotated graph under the headline, "Big Volume Behind Surge to New High Territory ", after highlighted in yellow with new pivot point based on its 3/08/13 high plus 10 cents in the earlier mid-day report (click here). A gain with volume +243% above average and strong close above the pivot point of its 8-week flat base triggered a technical buy signal.  It was then noted - "That volume total was well above the +40% above average volume threshold which is the bare minimum needed to confirm a proper technical buy signal.  Heavy volume with a big price increase and surge into new high territory is a bullish indication of institutional accumulation. It is very reassuring, but not a guarantee that any stock will go on to produce great gains."

EQM rebounded above its 50-day moving average (DMA) line after a bout of distributional pressure prior to its powerful breakout.

Accelerating sales revenues increases are very reassuring, as its sales revenues increased by +18%, +26%, +38%, and +43% in the Jun, Sep, Dec '12 and Mar '13 quarters versus the year-ago periods, respectively. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 20 in Jun '12 to 35 in Mar '13, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.
