Markets ended the week Friday little unchanged. But a look at the weekly moves paints a much different picture. The Nasdaq led the way down losing 4% and not only meeting 40 week resistance, but losing its 10 week MA as well. The S&P 500 fell almost 4% as well but did manage to find support just above its 50 day MA. For the week volume was slightly below average. The action on the benchmarks was concerning, because we did get some decent economic numbers this week. Industrial output grew, jobless claims fell, GDP forecasts being revised upwards by a number of firms. Beware poor price action in reaction to good news. Notable stocks which have lost 40 week support this week include AMZN ORCL BIDU AXP CVX PCLN. Notables losing 10 week support this week included CMG DECK ALXN JPM. The greenback has risen now for 3 weeks in a row, putting a damper on commodities. Oil had a wild ride this week breaking through par Wednesday only to see that move reversed by weeks end. Gold slumped 4% on the week, but the GLD did find tenuous 50 day support Friday. It looks as if it is carving a cup with handle pattern with a 175.56 trigger point. A look at some leading stocks, a true barometer of market health, have been acting poorly since breaking out. They include TIBX (broke out from a 29.66 cup with handle on 11/14), NEM (broke out from a 71.35 cup base 11/7), CLR (broke out from a 71.87 double bottom 11/16). They all seem to be failing here. One that looks decent as it retreats to its original cup base buy point of 19.33, which it broke out from 10/20. See how it reacts in that area. Even defensive stocks such as food groups all looking spoiled, pun intended. KO is sporting a negative head and shoulders pattern here. HSY had a miserable earnings report 10/27, and HNZ lost 5% on the week following an earnings report Friday. Look for HANS to maybe follow the group if its breaches 10 week support at 89. Stocks which gap ups are still holding intact are bullish and include ORLY EL SWI QCOR. Earnings Monday come from ADI HPQ.
