Stocks End Flat, Airlines Fall 2% For The Week; Domino's Delivers Sell Signal

X Stocks yo-yo-ed to a dull finish Friday despite some heightened diplomatic tensions following the surprise U.S. missile strike of a Syrian airfield late on Thursday. Leading stocks held up overall.

However, airline stocks got torched by sellers and fell more than 2% for the week as a group. Also, Domino's Pizza (DPZ) struggled, gapping lower at the open and falling 5.8% to 175.15 in massive trade.

The spirited dive below the 50-day moving average in the heaviest volume since its late-January breakout at 172.10 represents a sell signal for those who bought at the recent buy point. It's important to not allow a decent gain round-trip into a loss.

Those with a super-sized gain can afford to hold, though, and see if the well-run pizza and pasta delivery chain can find buyers near a potential test of the 200-day moving average.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost just under 7 points, or less than 0.1%, to end at 20,655, down fractionally for the week.

The S&P 500 lost 2 points while the Nasdaq composite surrendered less than 2 points. Both indexes finished off less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq fell roughly 0.5% for the week but maintained solid support near the rising 10-week moving average.
