The S&amp;P 500 even made a new all-time high. Everything seemed to fall apart on Friday. The final release of consumer expectations as measured by the University Michigan confirmed earlier preliminary numbers: <a href=\"https:\/\/inflationwatch.wordpress.com\/2025\/02\/21\/inflation-expectations-surge-as-the-u-s-dollar-tops-out\/\">inflation expectations soared<\/a> and consumer sentiment tanked. This bad news coincided with the third bad set of housing data and a drop for the preliminary February S&amp;P Global US Services PMI below 50 (contraction). The surprisingly sharp market response created a red flag pullback as notable individual stocks cratered and the major indices sold off to critical support levels. While the market has tended to flip sentiment and character from week-to-week, Friday&#8217;s selling looked and &#8220;smelled&#8221; like a signature statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1196033822186410\" data-ad-slot=\"3478942445\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Stock Market Indices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 (SPY) lost 1.7% to end the week right on top of support at its 50-day moving average (DMA) (the red line).

This pullback is a red flag given it represents a failed breakout in the middle of a 3-month to-date period where the S&amp;P 500 has made little net progress.

Friday&#8217;s nearly 8 percentage point drop ended a bid by my favorite technical indicator to break out and lead the market higher. Instead, AT50 fell to a 3-week low and looks like it will struggle to get above 55% for quite some time. This line of resistance is acting like a lower overbought threshold. This stubborn resistance is the biggest red flag of the signals from Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I am deeply concerned by the various red flags from Friday, I am maintaining a neutral short-term trading call. I am keenly aware that this bull market has triggered numerous warnings and ominous signs only to set up invalidations in short order. This time could be the same old story. Thus, I can only get bearish on key confirmations as described above. In the meantime, I am finding numerous bearish individual stocks that are not likely to participate much in a coming rebound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walmart Inc (WMT) has been a darling retail stock. The chart below shows a very neat and orderly extended uptrend. A 6.5% post-earnings drop disturbed the peaceful drift. Sellers followed through with a 50DMA breakdown. A lower close will confirm the red flag for WMT. While I would not dare short WMT, this breakdown could be the beginning of a bigger pullback for retailers and other stocks dependent on strong consumer spending. (Note, the SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (XRT) plunged below its 200DMA on Friday on a 3.1% loss).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WMT is a particularly dangerous stock because buyers have piled in despite an <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/symbol\/WMT\/valuation\/metrics\">extremely high valuation<\/a>. For example, WMT has a forward P\/E (GAAP) of 36.2, 33% above its 5-year average. Across the board WMT is 30-50% and more higher than its 5-year average in valuation metrics. Moreover, WMT is only <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/symbol\/WMT\/growth\">growing revenue in the mid single digits.<\/a> Once sentiment turns on such expensive stocks, the selling and exits can turn quite steep and abrupt!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1612\" height=\"796\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT.png\" alt=\"Walmart Inc (WMT) fell by 6.5% post-earnings, breaking down below the 50DMA in the process.\" class=\"wp-image-72554\" title=\"Walmart Inc (WMT)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT.png 1612w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT-768x379.png 768w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT-1536x758.png 1536w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/022125-Walmart-Inc-WMT-1320x652.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1612px) 100vw, 1612px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Walmart Inc (WMT) fell by 6.5% post-earnings, breaking down below the 50DMA in the process.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Brinker International, Inc (EAT) somehow became a darling casual dining stock. Like WMT, its valuation has thus become quite elevated. A full reversal of the last post-earnings gains combined with a 50DMA breakdown last week waves a huge red flag for EAT. I even rushed into a March $135\/$120 put spread for EAT in anticipation of some kind of extended drift lower.

CMG confirmed resistance at its 200DMA after a tepid post-earnings rebound. People who bought into CMG&#8217;s stock split as a bullish catalyst are once again deep in the red. They could get squeezed out of the stock if last summer&#8217;s plunge did not already push them out. I have been trading in and out of CMG.

WING is now down 45% from its all-time high after waving the classic red flag of a double top across last summer and fall. In early January, <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2025\/01\/05\/market-breadth-firms-to-start-year-the-market-breadth\/\">I lamented missing the bearish signals<\/a> and decided to fade a test of 50DMA resistance. However, by the time WING tested 50DMA resistance, earnings loomed. As it turned out WING broke out above its 50DMA just ahead of earnings and created another bull trap. The stock lost 13.4% post-earnings and now trades at a 15-month low. While I would love to chase WING lower, the stock is now over-stretched below its lower Bollinger Band (BB) and is thus a very risky short. Since WING still has <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/symbol\/WING\/ratings\/sell-side-ratings\">a lot of strong buy ratings and even a $480 upside price target<\/a>, I am assuming there should be at least one more rally left to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_WING-Wingstop-Inc.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1510\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_WING-Wingstop-Inc.png\" alt=\"Wingstop Inc (WING) closed 45% below its all-time high and at a 15-month low after a 13.4% post-earnings loss created a fresh 50DMA breakdown.\" class=\"wp-image-72600\" title=\"Wingstop Inc (WING)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_WING-Wingstop-Inc.png 1510w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_WING-Wingstop-Inc-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_WING-Wingstop-Inc-1320x731.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1510px) 100vw, 1510px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Wingstop Inc (WING) closed 45% below its all-time high and at a 15-month low after a 13.4% post-earnings loss created a fresh 50DMA breakdown.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Carvana Co. (CVNA) last bottomed right after a short (bearish) report caused a big storm. With classic bear trap action, the stock sharply rallied from that point. Last week, A 12.1% post-earnings drop brought the momentum to a halt. Sellers added a 9.9% loss the next day to underline the change in fortunes. Now CVNA is below its 50DMA again and looks likely to at least test the bottom of the previous post-earnings band. A test of 200DMA support is long overdue. CVNA last touched that long-term trendline nearly 2 years ago with a close call along the way. Over a month ago, I bought a June $125\/$100 put spread as a very speculative position on big downside risks.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_CVNA-Carvana-Co.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1510\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_CVNA-Carvana-Co.png\" alt=\"Carvana Co (CVNA) dropped back into the previous post-earnings band with a 12.1% post-earnings loss.

Two subsequent closes below the lower Bollinger Band confirmed a bearish change in the stock&#8217;s behavior but also placed WIX in an over-stretched position.

I had a very simple thesis for AKAM with CEO share purchases sitting firmly in the center of my justification. When <a href=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/2024\/11\/09\/defiant-fed-unrelenting-bulls-the-market-breadth\/\">AKAM disappointed investors last November<\/a>, I held on for dear life. AKAM rewarded my stubbornness after the stock recovered all its losses. Thus, I felt very comfortable (aka complacent!) going into earnings last week with sitting on my gains. AKAM was even in a good technical position levitating above converged 50 and 200DMA support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, somehow AKAM disappointed investors yet again. This time the punishment was even more severe with a massive 21.7% post-earnings loss to a 22-month low. I am still unwilling to sell into a panic, but I also am weary of holding this stock. AKAM has now dropped significantly after 4 of its last 5 earnings. This red flag behavior suggests that AKAM has turned the corner in a bearish way; upside will likely be limited for quite some time. Thus, I will be all too happy to sell into the next relief rally.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1510\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_AKAM-Akamai-Technologies-Inc.png\" alt=\"Akamai Technologies, Inc (AKAM) plunged 21.7% post-earnings to a 22-month low.\" class=\"wp-image-72608\" title=\"Akamai Technologies, Inc (AKAM)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_AKAM-Akamai-Technologies-Inc.png 1510w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_AKAM-Akamai-Technologies-Inc-768x425.png 768w, https:\/\/drduru.com\/onetwentytwo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/20250221_AKAM-Akamai-Technologies-Inc-1320x731.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1510px) 100vw, 1510px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Akamai Technologies, Inc (AKAM) plunged 21.7% post-earnings to a 22-month low.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>My favorite hedge against bullishness, Caterpillar, Inc (CAT), delivered as it should during a red flag pullback.
