      Hello, everyone, and welcome to Tuesday morning.
    • 00:00:02
      It's Stephen Whiteside here from theuptrend.
    • 00:00:05
      com.
    • 00:00:06
      In the premarket this morning, stock index futures are above fair value.
    • 00:00:09
      So far, it looks like we're going to see
    • 00:00:11
      some buying at the open on Tuesday morning.
    • 00:00:14
      Now, yesterday was all about the Nasdaq
    • 00:00:16
      and it was really overdone, but it is what it is.
    • 00:00:20
      So the Nasdaq move higher.
    • 00:00:22
      So far, support at 13,125 is holding.
    • 00:00:26
      The biggest reason the Nasdaq popped yesterday was NVIDIA, which is up over 8%.
    • 00:00:32
      No justification for that move, and I certainly wouldn't chase it up here.
    • 00:00:36
      Earnings are coming out later this week,
    • 00:00:39
      and it looks like it's going to be a buy the rumors, sell the news type situation.
    • 00:00:44
      Of course, I could be wrong, but up at
    • 00:00:46
      these levels, it's not worth chasing NVIDIA.
    • 00:00:49
      Now, a lot of the other tech stocks also moved higher.
    • 00:00:52
      We had Tesla up as well.
    • 00:00:54
      Tesla is getting pretty close to a buy signal here.
    • 00:00:58
      We're looking for a close above $240.23 on Tuesday for Tesla.
    • 00:01:04
      Need a little more work for Apple and Meta.
    • 00:01:07
      Microsoft traded up into the channel yesterday, so a close above
    • 00:01:11
      325.49 would give us a buy signal on Tuesday and no joy for Shopify.
    • 00:01:17
      Now the Dow dragged most of yesterday.
    • 00:01:20
      And if you're watching the news or
    • 00:01:23
      listening to the news on the radio, of course, they're going to focus on the Dow.
    • 00:01:27
      Now the Dow dragged yesterday because of
    • 00:01:29
      Johnson & Johnson, but it really doesn't affect Johnson & Johnson shareholders.
    • 00:01:33
      They're spinning off a company.
    • 00:01:35
      So while the stock was down, it really
    • 00:01:37
      doesn't hurt the wallets of Johnson & Johnson shareholders.
    • 00:01:42
      Now, when we look at sector activity, the
    • 00:01:44
      majority of sectors in the US were actually down yesterday.
    • 00:01:48
      It was Infotech, of course, was the big leader.
    • 00:01:50
      That's also true in Canada, where only two
    • 00:01:53
      of the sectors were up yesterday, Infotech and Materials.
    • 00:01:56
      Otherwise, the rest of the market was down.
    • 00:01:59
      Now, one stock that stood out to for me on
    • 00:02:02
      Monday was Goldman Sachs, which continued to move lower.
    • 00:02:05
      It has now filled the open gap.
    • 00:02:07
      We're still projecting lower prices here,
    • 00:02:09
      but obviously, the support from the lows in late June and early July down at
    • 00:02:16
      312.50, that's going to be a big area of support and certainly a big tell for the
    • 00:02:20
      market if Goldman Sachs were to break through that.
    • 00:02:23
      So far, 320.31 is holding and that gap has now been filled.
    • 00:02:28
      So we'll have to see if Goldman Sachs can turn around at this point.
    • 00:02:33
      Now, what didn't work yesterday or what
    • 00:02:35
      didn't move in favor of the stock market moving higher was interest rates.
    • 00:02:39
      The five-year yield, the 10-year yield, and the 30-year yield all moved up on
    • 00:02:44
      Monday, and that's not going to help the stock market over the long term.
    • 00:02:49
      So we'll just have to see how long yesterday's enthusiasm lasts.
    • 00:02:54
      Currencies, we saw the US dollar index
    • 00:02:56
      pull back ever so slightly just five ticks, and we saw the euro move up as
    • 00:03:01
      well, but certainly no major changes in trend for either of those currencies.
    • 00:03:07
      Now moving over looking at commodity prices, we saw the price of crude oil
    • 00:03:11
      trade up into the channel, but then pulled back and closed slightly lower on the day.
    • 00:03:15
      We saw a little move up in natural gas, but no change in trend.
    • 00:03:19
      The price of wheat, which people
    • 00:03:21
      continually ask me about, is pretty stable right now.
    • 00:03:26
      It's still on a sell signal, still trading below the lower channel line.
    • 00:03:29
      We recently put in a double top.
    • 00:03:31
      Will we put in a double bottom?
    • 00:03:33
      Well, we should be able to find that out over the next few days.
    • 00:03:39
      Then looking at copper, it moved up yesterday.
    • 00:03:41
      That helped some of the mining stocks.
    • 00:03:43
      We also saw gold move up, but not that much.
    • 00:03:46
      Silver is back on a buy signal.
    • 00:03:49
      But if we take a look at gold, you can see we've made a series
    • 00:03:52
      of major lower high and a lower low recently, so that is still very bearish.
    • 00:03:59
      We are coming down to the bottom of the
    • 00:04:00
      panic zones, a pressure zone is starting to form.
    • 00:04:03
      Major support is not that far away back down at the lows from late February.
    • 00:04:09
      And if those don't hold at the 1875 level, if we look on the weekly chart here, you
    • 00:04:15
      can see 1750 would be our next target below that.
    • 00:04:19
      And of course, that would match up with
    • 00:04:21
      our longer term projections on the weekly panic zone chart.
    • 00:04:25
      Those haven't happened yet.
    • 00:04:26
      We haven't broken down, and silver is turning around and heading back up.
    • 00:04:32
      That could help pull the price of gold up, and we would certainly take a buy signal
    • 00:04:37
      in gold if it were to happen in the not so distant future.
    • 00:04:42
      Okay, folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
    • 00:04:45
      Have a great day.
    • 00:04:46
      Next time you'll hear my voice is on Wednesday morning.
