Distributional Action Puts Rally Under Pressure Again

Another losing session marked a 3rd straight day of unanimous losses for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500 Index, and Nasdaq Composite Index. The losses came with higher volume totals than those reported on Monday's session on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange which indicated "distribution", a worrisome pick-up in institutional selling pressure weighing on the market once again. Declining issues beat advancers by about a 3-2 ratio on the NYSE and on the Nasdaq exchange. New 52-week highs still outnumbered new 52-week lows on both the Nasdaq exchange and the NYSE. There were 17 high-ranked companies from the CANSLIM.net Leaders List that made new 52-week highs and appeared on the CANSLIM.net BreakOuts Page, up from the total of 14 on the prior session. There were only 4 gainers out of the 16 high-ranked leaders currently included on the Featured Stocks Page.

 

Tuesday's choppy session ended on a sour note when Moody's downgraded Ireland's credit rating to junk status in the last hour of trading. The news offset successful bond auctions in Italy and Greece. Meanwhile, minutes of June's Federal Reserve meeting revealed support by some members for further stimulus if the U.S. economy remains weak. There were some positive signs in the U.S. trade report. Even though the trade deficit widened to the highest level in almost three years in May, U.S. exports remained strong and were close to April's record.

Semiconductor stocks were flattened by disappointing numbers out of Microchip Technology Inc (MCHP -12.14%) and Novellus Systems Inc (NVLS -11.24%). The price of oil closed up more than $2 per barrel. Gold rose for a sixth day, and reached a record settlement price in New York.

Distributional pressure has put the current rally under pressure again.  Earnings news and guidance from companies may be a catalyst for additional volatility in the coming weeks as earnings announcements roll in.  Our July 2011 issue of CANSLIM.net News is due to be released soon with a comprehensive summary of current market conditions that further clarifies matters concerning the M criteria!  The Q2 2011 CANSLIM.net Webcast is available "ON DEMAND" now  to UPGRADED MEMBERS ONLY - (CLICK HERE).   

PICTURED: The Nasdaq Composite Index has been encountering mild distributional pressure after recently wedging up to within -0.3% of its 52-week high.

Gold & Silver Index Rebounds Above 50 & 200 DMA Lines

The tech sector had a negative bias as the Semiconductor Index ($SOX -2.89%) led the retreat, followed by the Networking Index ($NWX -1.40%), Internet Index ($IIX -0.76%), and Biotechnology Index ($BTK -0.12%). Energy-related shares slipped as the Oil Services Index ($OSX -0.84%) and Integrated Oil Index ($XOI -0.57%) finished modestly lower.  The Broker/Dealer Index ($XBD +0.04%) held its ground but the Bank Index ($BKX -0.23%) and Retail Index ($RLX -0.22%  ) suffered small losses. Defensive groups rose as the Healthcare Index ($HMO +0.47%) posted a small gain and the Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.72%) was a standout gainer.

PICTURED: The Gold & Silver Index ($XAU +2.72%) rallied back above its 50-day and 200-day moving average (DMA) lines in the past 6 sessions.

Falling Under New Pivot Point Without Triggering Fresh Buy Signal

Informatica Corp. (INFA -$1.40 or -2.36% to $57.98) has been pulling back, consolidating below its new pivot point recently cited. This high-ranked Computer Software - Database firm faces no resistance due to overhead supply. Disciplined investors know to watch for a volume-driven breakout gain above the pivot point with at least +50% above average volume to first trigger a convincing new (or add-on) technical buy signal before taking action.

Following its last appearance in this FSU section with an annotated daily graph on 6/17/11 under the headline, "Computer Software Firm Extended From Last Base Pattern", this Redwood City, CA-based firm found support near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line. On July 1st its color code was changed to yellow as a new pivot point was cited based on a new short flat base pattern. Although it quietly wedged above the pivot point, the gains came without sufficient volume to trigger a buy signal. Following those half-hearted gains there have been 4 consecutive losses. Today's loss came with slightly above average volume and it closed near the session low, showing signs of distributional pressure rather than more favorable institutional accumulation. 

Since the 3/24/11 mid-day report (read here) highlighted in yellow at $50.04 it has traded as much as +24.7% higher.  It reported +33% earnings on +24% sales revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ago period. That followed prior strong results after its Jun, Sep, and Dec '10 earnings increases were all above the +25% minimum guidelines. It has also maintained a steady annual earnings (A criteria) history. The number of top-rated funds owning its shares rose from 634 in Mar '10 to 726 in Mar '11, a reassuring sign concerning the I criteria.


Color Codes Explained :
Y - Better candidates highlighted by our staff of experts.
G - Previously featured in past reports as yellow but may no longer be buyable under the guidelines.
