The Dow trended down on Tuesday, Cramer told viewers, because all the wrong stocks went up.
Not that a loss of just 16 points is a big deal. But the action in certain stocks took the steam out of the rally we’ve enjoyed since early March. This trend needs to reverse, Cramer said, if we are to continue our move higher.
So what happened? Wall Street favored food and drug stocks today. Kraft [KFT

].
The problem is that the money generated from the massive selling of these stocks that we’ve seen for the past eight weeks had been pouring into oil, tech and the banks. These were the rally leaders upon which the market depended for the big move. Without cash flowing steadily into these names, the momentum petered out. Poor earnings from Chesapeake Energy [CHK

The bottom line, though, is that we need selling to return to the food and drug stocks in order for this rally to resume, Cramer said. Without broad-based support from retail investors, hedge funds and mutual funds, the upside won’t happen any other way.
Cramer's charitable trust owns Abbott Labs and Celgene.
