Hello, everyone.. It's Stephen Whiteside
here from TheUpTrend.. com.. In this presentation, we're going to focus
on the Magnificent Seven stocks, but we're. going to start off by taking a look at the
VIX and then looking at the major ETF's,. and then we'll work our way down to
the individual stocks themselves.. Now, we saw fear rise this week, and we've
got the VIX back on a daily buy signal.. Of course, that's negative for stocks now
coming into this week, the VIX was already. on a weekly buy signal, and it hadn't
shrugged off the, the volatility. that we saw back in August.. And so we came into this week long term
bearish on the market, certainly willing. to give the market the benefit of the
doubt that it could continue to move. up into the middle of September.. Seasonality wise.. We look for some selling in September into
October, and then hopefully we can. catch a ride up into the year end.. Now, what did we know
and when did we know it?. Well, on our daily Panic Zone chart for
the Nasdaq 100, you can see the last time. an early warning signal went off and we
started to move lower from that point.. More significant, though, is back in the
summer and for all of 2024, we were. looking for a move up to $500, and we got
that in July and then started to sell off.. We came back up and only made
it to the lower target, the 484.. 38 level.. And so, you know, anytime you put in a
lower high, that's not. usually pretty for the market.. Now, we've already broken through
our first target to the downside.. So 437.. 50 would be our next target to
the downside for the Nasdaq 100.. Now, while we were up hitting resistance,
we also put in a bearish reversal day, and. that's usually, that can usually
mark the top of a move in the market.. Now, here we are.. The Nasdaq 100 is on a sell signal right
now and made a new low. for this move on Friday.. I don't know what strategies you're
employing, whether you're short the Nasdaq. itself, your long puts, short calls, or if
you're short the Magnificent Seven. ETF itself, which was down 3.. 89% on Friday.. Of course, the 2X bull ETF's
are all on sell signals.. The 2X bears are back on
buy signals right now.. The 3X bull ETF's are
back on sell signals.. The 3X bears, of course,
are back on buy signals.. There's individual sector ETF's as well.. For technology, it could be
long the bear for that sector.. Of course, there's always the 3X Fang
ETF, which was up nearly 12% on Friday.. So a nice move there.. Of course, for all of these ETF's we have
profit targets and so you should. have got an order filled at 28.
13.. Next target to the upside is 31.
25.. You want to put an order in up
there ahead of time, of course.. And if it was me, I'd
probably put it at 31.. 19 instead of the 25.. Put it a little less
than the target itself.. Now, looking at the Magnificent Seven
stocks, they're still heavily. weighted in the major indices.. They're still the biggest publicly
traded companies in the world.. I think Apple is the most widely held
company and the most. valuable at the moment.. Of course, it was Nvidia
for the longest time.. And then that has recently changed as
chip stocks have started to sell off.. I think Apple's nearly 500 times
the value of American Airlines.. So it's quite a big force in the
market and being widely held.. If Apple starts to sell off aggressively,
it's included in just about every. index, ETF and mutual fund out there.. So it could dramatically
pull the market down.. Now so far Apple has been
holding up fairly well.. It's been on a sell
signal for four days now.. It's still stuck to 225.. The high of the day on Friday was 225.
24.. If it takes out Wednesday's low,
then look for a move to down to 212.. 50 as our next target and
then ultimately down to 200.. Now, Amazon flip flopped this week, but
probably the most important thing on this. chart is the fact that
it put in lower highs.. So we had a high back in the start of
July, then low at the end of July, then. another lower low in August, and
now another lower low in September.. Now we're looking down.. If we take out the recent
low at 168 75, then 162.. 50 would be our next target.. Then looking at Alphabet,
new low for Alphabet.. They're heading down towards 150.. If that breaks, 137.. 50 would be our next target.. Then looking at Meta, Meta's
put in a double top here.. It came down aggressively on Friday,
hit the $500 level and closed at $500.. 27.
If we take out 500, then 468.. 75 would be our next target.. Then looking at Microsoft,
Microsoft broke down below 462.. 50 on Friday.. We're still stuck to it, 390.. 63 is our next target.. To the downside then looking at Nvidia,
Nvidia had a very bad week still. trading and closing above $100.. The low on Friday was $100.
95.. That's a big psychological
number for the market.. If Nvidia starts breaking down below that,
the low from a few weeks. ago, it is down at 90.
69.. If that breaks, then 87.. 50 would be our next target
and then possibly down to 75.. But we haven't broken 100 yet, so
don't get overly excited just yet.. Now, this is the Magnificent Seven list.. But we do add shopify in to give
the list a little Canadian flavor.. It is the fourth biggest company in
Canada by market cap at the moment.. And it's not a company that's
going to change the world.. It's just a shopping cart, basically.. But here we are looking
at the New York listing.. It's been down sharply this week.. Broke down below 68.
75.. If we want to keep going.. Of course we've got 62.. 50, but then we've got the
bottom of the open gap there.. That could act as a
potential area of support.. We're starting to break down
below the 200 day moving average.. You can see we ran up and found resistance
at the high from the start of March.. That's also true for the TSX listing.. And there we are starting to break down
below the two to day moving average.. And the low from or the top
of that open gap is at 87.. 42.. And that could certainly be an
area of support looking at Tesla.. Tesla had a wild couple of days after
generating a buy signal on Wednesday.. It ran up, hit our next target of 234.
38.. So hopefully you got to sell 50%
of your position at that level.. And then we came down hard on Friday.. We're still on a buy signal here.. We need a close on Monday below $210.
29.. We closed at $210.. 73.. So just above the lower chain line.. If we take out the
recent low there at 203.. 13 and then the psychological
number of 200, then 187.. 50 comes into play for Tesla.. Well, what a difference we can make.. You know, a week ago we were looking at
the Dow and the TSX hitting new all time. highs, and a week later we've got the
market heading being sharply lower,. being led lower by the chip sector.. This is a seasonally weak
period for the market.. But I thought the market, given what
happened last week, that we'd probably go. into the middle of the month before we
started to see any aggressive selling.. Obviously I was wrong.. The charts were right.
I was wrong.. We've got the VIX on a daily and
a weekly buy signal right now.. The first thing I'm going to be looking
for is to see a sell. signal in the daily Vixen.. That would tell me that the tone of
the market is about to start to change.. We certainly don't have that going into
Monday's trading action, so we're going. to look for continued weakness this week.. Enjoy the rest of your day, enjoy your
weekend, and we'll talk to you again soon..
