- Good morning, everyone, and happy Friday. .
- It's Stephen Whiteside
here from TheUpTrend. .
- com In the pre-market this morning, stock .
- index futures and gold are above fair
value while Crudol is pulling back just a .
- few cents in the pre-market
on Friday morning. .
- I thought this was going to be a make or
break week, and I really thought the .
- market was going to end
up looking like this. .
- This is a weekly chart of the SOX index or .
- the semiconductor index, and you can
see we're starting to break down. .
- We're currently trading trading and
closing below the previous week's low and .
- down a little over three
and a half % for the week. .
- Now, the SOX index is more volatile than .
- most other indexes, so down three and
a half % is not a significant drop. .
- But as you can see, we are trading and
closing below the previous week's low, so .
- that could turn out to be significant
depending on how Friday ends. .
- Now, so far for the major US indices, it's
an inside week or a week of indecision. .
- You can see the S&P 500 is up half a %
trading within the previous week's range. .
- And then that is also true for the Nasdaq .
- 100, which is basically
unchanged on the week. .
- So nothing going on there. .
- Nvidia is also having an inside week
and is basically unchanged for NVIDIA. .
- It's up just under half a %, which is
really not that significant for NVIDIA. .
- Then looking at the TSX, on the other
hand, it's making new highs this week. .
- That has a lot to do with crude oil. .
- It's up over 4 % so far this week. .
- We've got copper up nearly 4 %. .
- Gold is pulling back a
bit, but not by much. .
- And this weekly chart of gold
is looking fairly bullish. .
- We're making higher lows and higher highs, .
- and that could turn out to
be significant going forward. .
- But so far, we are seeing a small pullback
in the price of gold, just down $18. .
- We're up a couple of dollars in
the pre-market on Friday morning. .
- Now, the stock market indices lost their
way on Thursday, and that might have .
- something to do with what
happened in the bond market. .
- There's the TLT and the XBB,
both gapping lower on Thursday. .
- We saw selling in the 30-year bond, and .
- that put upward pressure on bond yields,
and that might have been .
- what was putting downward pressure
on the stock market on Thursday. .
- Now, looking at the most actives from .
- Thursday's trading action, starting off in
the US market, we saw Soundhound hitting a .
- new high yesterday before pulling
back, going into the close. .
- Then we had a new low yesterday for Tesla. .
- Tesla getting some downgrades recently. .
- Advanced Micro Devices on a sell signal, .
- and we're coming down to an area of a
lot of congestion and potential support. .
- We'll have to see if that support holds. .
- Then Apple traded into the channel
yesterday, so a close above 175. .
- 17 would give us a new
buy buy signal on Friday. .
- It looks like the 168. .
- 75 held in the market in check. .
- Now we're looking to see if 175 acts as .
- resistance or if we can
start to punch through it. .
- So far, made a new closing
low for this move on Thursday. .
- New closing low for Marathon. .
- Then we had NVIDIA trade
and closing the channel. .
- So a close below $845. .
- 03 would give us a new daily
sell signal for NVIDIA on Friday. .
- Rivian rolled over yesterday. .
- It's back on a sell signal,
so that didn't last very long. .
- Then we still have Ford on a sell signal. .
- No change there. .
- And then Robinhood made a new high for .
- this move on Thursday, trading up to
the $19 level before pulling back. .
- And then last up for the US market, .
- Palantir, back on a sell
signal as of Thursday's close. .
- And then moving on to the TSX, most
actives from Thursday's trading action. .
- Inside day for Canadian Natural Resources. .
- And then a new high for Suncor. .
- Lundin Mining put in a new high as well. .
- Then looking at Embridge. .
- We pulled back into the channel, closing
just above the upper channel line. .
- So mathematically, we have the potential .
- for a new sell signal on
Friday with a close below $54. .
- 04. .
- Then BCE gapped lower on Thursday,
making a new low for this move. .
- Bank of Nova Scotia, we need
a close on Friday below $66. .
- 55. .
- For the TD Bank, we're looking
for a close on Friday below $80. .
- 89. .
- And then for Pembina, we're looking
for a close on Friday below $47. .
- 40. .
- Made a new high on Wednesday,
then gapped lower on Thursday. .
- And then Cenovus made
a new high on Thursday. .
- No change in trend there. .
- And then CIBC, we're looking
for a close on Friday below $65. .
- 70. .
- Okay, folks, that is all for
this morning's presentation. .
- Have a great day. .
- Have a great weekend. .
- Next time you'll hear my voice
is on Monday morning. .
