-
00:00:00Good morning, everyone, and happy Friday.
-
00:00:02It's Stephen Whiteside here from TheUpTrend.
-
00:00:05com In the pre-market this morning, stock
-
00:00:07index futures and gold are above fair value while Crudol is pulling back just a
-
00:00:13few cents in the pre-market on Friday morning.
-
00:00:15I thought this was going to be a make or break week, and I really thought the
-
00:00:19market was going to end up looking like this.
-
00:00:21This is a weekly chart of the SOX index or
-
00:00:24the semiconductor index, and you can see we're starting to break down.
-
00:00:28We're currently trading trading and closing below the previous week's low and
-
00:00:33down a little over three and a half % for the week.
-
00:00:36Now, the SOX index is more volatile than
-
00:00:39most other indexes, so down three and a half % is not a significant drop.
-
00:00:44But as you can see, we are trading and closing below the previous week's low, so
-
00:00:48that could turn out to be significant depending on how Friday ends.
-
00:00:52Now, so far for the major US indices, it's an inside week or a week of indecision.
-
00:00:58You can see the S&P 500 is up half a % trading within the previous week's range.
-
00:01:04And then that is also true for the Nasdaq
-
00:01:06100, which is basically unchanged on the week.
-
00:01:09So nothing going on there.
-
00:01:11Nvidia is also having an inside week and is basically unchanged for NVIDIA.
-
00:01:17It's up just under half a %, which is really not that significant for NVIDIA.
-
00:01:23Then looking at the TSX, on the other hand, it's making new highs this week.
-
00:01:28That has a lot to do with crude oil.
-
00:01:30It's up over 4 % so far this week.
-
00:01:32We've got copper up nearly 4 %.
-
00:01:35Gold is pulling back a bit, but not by much.
-
00:01:39And this weekly chart of gold is looking fairly bullish.
-
00:01:43We're making higher lows and higher highs,
-
00:01:45and that could turn out to be significant going forward.
-
00:01:49But so far, we are seeing a small pullback in the price of gold, just down $18.
-
00:01:54We're up a couple of dollars in the pre-market on Friday morning.
-
00:01:59Now, the stock market indices lost their way on Thursday, and that might have
-
00:02:03something to do with what happened in the bond market.
-
00:02:07There's the TLT and the XBB, both gapping lower on Thursday.
-
00:02:12We saw selling in the 30-year bond, and
-
00:02:15that put upward pressure on bond yields, and that might have been
-
00:02:19what was putting downward pressure on the stock market on Thursday.
-
00:02:24Now, looking at the most actives from
-
00:02:26Thursday's trading action, starting off in the US market, we saw Soundhound hitting a
-
00:02:31new high yesterday before pulling back, going into the close.
-
00:02:35Then we had a new low yesterday for Tesla.
-
00:02:38Tesla getting some downgrades recently.
-
00:02:41Advanced Micro Devices on a sell signal,
-
00:02:44and we're coming down to an area of a lot of congestion and potential support.
-
00:02:50We'll have to see if that support holds.
-
00:02:53Then Apple traded into the channel yesterday, so a close above 175.
-
00:02:5717 would give us a new buy buy signal on Friday.
-
00:03:01It looks like the 168.
-
00:03:0375 held in the market in check.
-
00:03:07Now we're looking to see if 175 acts as
-
00:03:10resistance or if we can start to punch through it.
-
00:03:14So far, made a new closing low for this move on Thursday.
-
00:03:17New closing low for Marathon.
-
00:03:20Then we had NVIDIA trade and closing the channel.
-
00:03:24So a close below $845.
-
00:03:2603 would give us a new daily sell signal for NVIDIA on Friday.
-
00:03:32Rivian rolled over yesterday.
-
00:03:34It's back on a sell signal, so that didn't last very long.
-
00:03:38Then we still have Ford on a sell signal.
-
00:03:40No change there.
-
00:03:41And then Robinhood made a new high for
-
00:03:44this move on Thursday, trading up to the $19 level before pulling back.
-
00:03:49And then last up for the US market,
-
00:03:52Palantir, back on a sell signal as of Thursday's close.
-
00:03:56And then moving on to the TSX, most actives from Thursday's trading action.
-
00:04:00Inside day for Canadian Natural Resources.
-
00:04:03And then a new high for Suncor.
-
00:04:06Lundin Mining put in a new high as well.
-
00:04:10Then looking at Embridge.
-
00:04:11We pulled back into the channel, closing just above the upper channel line.
-
00:04:15So mathematically, we have the potential
-
00:04:18for a new sell signal on Friday with a close below $54.
-
00:04:2304.
-
00:04:24Then BCE gapped lower on Thursday, making a new low for this move.
-
00:04:30Bank of Nova Scotia, we need a close on Friday below $66.
-
00:04:3555.
-
00:04:37For the TD Bank, we're looking for a close on Friday below $80.
-
00:04:4289.
-
00:04:43And then for Pembina, we're looking for a close on Friday below $47.
-
00:04:4940.
-
00:04:50Made a new high on Wednesday, then gapped lower on Thursday.
-
00:04:54And then Cenovus made a new high on Thursday.
-
00:04:57No change in trend there.
-
00:04:59And then CIBC, we're looking for a close on Friday below $65.
-
00:05:0370.
-
00:05:06Okay, folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:05:09Have a great day.
-
00:05:10Have a great weekend.
-
00:05:12Next time you'll hear my voice is on Monday morning.
