-
00:00:00Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Tuesday Morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from the uptrend.com. In the pre market this
-
00:00:07morning, stock index futures are slightly above fair value.
-
00:00:10It should be a fairly quiet day.
-
00:00:12This is the first day of the two day Fed
-
00:00:14meeting and we expect volatility to expand dramatically after 02:00 P.m.
-
00:00:18Wednesday afternoon.
-
00:00:20Now, the VIX traded up to the upper
-
00:00:22channel line yesterday, but closed near the low of the day.
-
00:00:25Looking for a close on Tuesday above
-
00:00:27$14.61. The Dow closed up by a penny yesterday and still on a buy signal here,
-
00:00:34while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 are still on sell signals.
-
00:00:39Now, this really is a tale of two markets
-
00:00:42as the US market is trying to hold on to the summer lows.
-
00:00:46We can see that in the Ishares for the Russell 2000, but that is not true for the
-
00:00:51Ishares for the micro cap sector that has already broken through the summer lows.
-
00:00:55Trying to find support back at the lows from May.
-
00:00:59Then looking at semiconductors, you can
-
00:01:01see we're barely holding on to the August lows here.
-
00:01:05That is also true for the regional banks and banks themselves, while the retail
-
00:01:10stocks are starting to slip below the August lows.
-
00:01:14Then looking at the Canadian market, we're
-
00:01:16trying to punch through the summer highs and so far we're stuck at resistance.
-
00:01:20That's also true for the TSX 60.
-
00:01:22So we saw pullbacks in both of those yesterday.
-
00:01:25We saw a pullback in mid cap and small cap stocks.
-
00:01:29And as you can easily see here, we put in a lower high, a lower high.
-
00:01:33And now we're going to see if we start to put in lower lows.
-
00:01:37That would be bearish.
-
00:01:38And the venture exchange, which is on a
-
00:01:40buy signal since last Thursday, was up slightly on the day on Monday.
-
00:01:47Then looking at what didn't work yesterday on the TSX, it was the infotech sector
-
00:01:52rolled over and it was led lower by Shopify.
-
00:01:56So Shopify had a nice pop.
-
00:01:58We were buyers there.
-
00:02:00We sold half our position here, another half here, and now we're left with the
-
00:02:05remaining position and we're going to get kicked out today at the open and we're
-
00:02:10still going to get kicked out with a profit on this trade.
-
00:02:14Next up, let's take a look at commodity prices.
-
00:02:17And we've got one trend change from Monday's trading action.
-
00:02:21The USO made a new high yesterday.
-
00:02:23We saw gasoline pull back for the second day in a row.
-
00:02:27Still on a buy signal here.
-
00:02:29We had natural gas move up yesterday.
-
00:02:31Still on a buy signal.
-
00:02:32No change there.
-
00:02:33Now we have the GLD back on a buy signal as of Monday's close.
-
00:02:38Joining Palladium and Platinum already on buy signals, still waiting for Silver.
-
00:02:43And you can see there's a nice gap just above us that could hold us in check.
-
00:02:48Otherwise we're looking for a close for the SLV above 21.
-
00:02:5241 on Tuesday to give us a buy signal.
-
00:02:56And then Copper pulled back yesterday.
-
00:02:57Copper is still on a sell signal.
-
00:02:59No change there.
-
00:03:01Moving on, let's take a look at the TSX most active, starting with the TC Energy,
-
00:03:06which had a bearish reversal day yesterday.
-
00:03:09Then we had an inside day for Suncor.
-
00:03:12Then Canadian Natural Resources.
-
00:03:13Still on a sell signal here.
-
00:03:15Looking for a close on Tuesday above 87.
-
00:03:1861.
-
00:03:19Then looking at manual.
-
00:03:20Life Manulife had an inside day.
-
00:03:22We're stuck at Resistance at 26.17. Our next target is 26.
-
00:03:2756.
-
00:03:28And if you go to the weekly chart, you can see that that is also a weekly target.
-
00:03:33And that is where we peaked back at the start of 2023.
-
00:03:38Then looking at the TD Bank, a small pullback there, trying to get over 84.
-
00:03:4338.
-
00:03:44Then looking at CIBC, we're trying to break out above the high from late August.
-
00:03:49So far, we've been unable to do that.
-
00:03:51Then Denison Mines made a new closing high yesterday.
-
00:03:55Then Tilray had a big pullback.
-
00:03:57You'll also see that in the US. Market.
-
00:04:00And then we've got Air Canada making a new low for this move on Monday.
-
00:04:05Let's finish off today's presentation.
-
00:04:07Looking at the most actively traded US.
-
00:04:09Stocks, starting with Tesla.
-
00:04:11Tesla traded back into the Channel yesterday.
-
00:04:14A close below $258.08 would give us a sell signal on Tuesday.
-
00:04:18Apple moved up yesterday.
-
00:04:20We've got a nice open gap there on our way to a buy signal.
-
00:04:24We are looking for a close on Tuesday
-
00:04:26above $180.39. Tilray rolled over yesterday, just like on the TSX.
-
00:04:32So we're back on a sell signal as of Monday's close.
-
00:04:35Advanced Micro Devices bouncing off the
-
00:04:38August lows, closing slightly higher on the day.
-
00:04:40No change in trend.
-
00:04:42No change in trend for Nvidia, which closed up $0.66 yesterday, making a big
-
00:04:46reversal day, but not closing above the previous day's high.
-
00:04:49Then looking at Ford back in the Channel,
-
00:04:52looking for a close below $12.20 on Tuesday to give us a sell signal.
-
00:04:57For Amazon, we would need a close below 138.
-
00:04:5934.
-
00:05:01Then we've got Marathon closing just down $0.01 on the day.
-
00:05:06No change in trend there.
-
00:05:08Then Palantir still treading water here.
-
00:05:10Looking for a close below $15.11 on Tuesday.
-
00:05:14And then a big reversal.
-
00:05:16Big loser on the Dow on Monday was American Express.
-
00:05:19Looking for a close on Tuesday below 158.
-
00:05:2261.
-
00:05:23Then we saw a new low for Boeing.
-
00:05:25And we saw a new low for this move for Home Depot.
-
00:05:29Starting to break down below the August lows.
-
00:05:33Okay, folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:05:36Not looking for a lot of excitement on Tuesday.
-
00:05:39Of course, the excitement will all begin after 02:00 P.m. Wednesday afternoon.
-
00:05:44Have a great day.
-
00:05:45Next time you'll hear my voice is on Wednesday morning.
