-
00:00:01good morning everyone and welcome to Tuesday Morning.
-
00:00:04It's Stephen Whiteside here from TheUpTrend.com In the pre market this
-
00:00:08morning, stock index futures are trading slightly below fair value.
-
00:00:11Commodities are mixed.
-
00:00:13We are coming up to some economic numbers at 8:30 this morning and then at 10:00 and
-
00:00:18of course those numbers could add to market volatility.
-
00:00:23Now yesterday was an inside day for a lot of areas of the market.
-
00:00:27The VIX had an inside day.
-
00:00:29So on Tuesday we're looking for a close
-
00:00:31below 1675 to give us a new sell signal that of course would be supportive for
-
00:00:36higher stock prices in the Canadian market.
-
00:00:39The Ishares for the TSX 60 had an inside day.
-
00:00:42We had an inside day for the Nasdaq, 100 for Semiconductors.
-
00:00:46We did not have an inside day for the Dow or the S&P 500.
-
00:00:51Unable to take out the high from two days ago.
-
00:00:55Trading up into the gap 437.50 is current.
-
00:00:59Resistance support is at 429 .69. Is resistance holding?
-
00:01:04Well, over the past couple of days we've
-
00:01:07run up three times and we've been unable to take out that area of resistance.
-
00:01:12As high as we got was 437.34. Now just
-
00:01:16above that resistance is the top of the open gap at 438.43. So that's going to be
-
00:01:22a very important number to watch to see what the market does if it goes up
-
00:01:27and fills that gap at this particular time.
-
00:01:31If we can take out that gap then 445.31 comes into play.
-
00:01:37Now looking at gold miners this morning
-
00:01:39and the price of gold back on the 11th of the month we generated a buy signal for
-
00:01:46gold at that time, our next price target was 1937.50. And what do you know?
-
00:01:52Well we've run up to that level and stopped and so now we're looking to see if
-
00:01:57we can break out and retest the highs from back in September on our way to $2,000.
-
00:02:04Unfortunately we're stuck at the moving average convergence here and yesterday we
-
00:02:10traded between the 51 hundred day moving average with the 200 day just above us.
-
00:02:15So that is going to be a big ask to get
-
00:02:19the market to start trading above those levels.
-
00:02:22We'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:02:23Looking at the GDX and looking at the
-
00:02:26Panic Zone chart, you can see we are certainly projecting higher prices right
-
00:02:29now, but the GDX has been a series of lower highs and lower lows.
-
00:02:34Right now we are looking to see if we can
-
00:02:36retest the high from September and to do that we're going to have to get up to our
-
00:02:41next price target of 29.69. Unfortunately the pros have not taken control so far,
-
00:02:48even though we've been on a buy signal for a few days now.
-
00:02:51Looking north of the border, looking at
-
00:02:53the XGD, this chart is looking very similar.
-
00:02:57It is a different mix of international, Canadian and international gold companies.
-
00:03:03You can see we've traded up and getting
-
00:03:05pretty close to those September highs and the pros are starting to take control.
-
00:03:10So we have hit our next price target of
-
00:03:1217.19. So congratulations, you got to lock in some profits.
-
00:03:17Our next target, of course, is going to be the high from late August and into
-
00:03:21September, and that's up at the 17.54, I think 17.57 level.
-
00:03:26If we can take that out, then of course 17.97 would come into play.
-
00:03:32Next up, let's take a look at the energy sector, and crude oil generated a buy
-
00:03:36signal on Friday, small pullback on Monday.
-
00:03:38It is trading higher in the pre market this morning.
-
00:03:41Unlike gold, which is seeing the moving
-
00:03:44averages act as resistance, crude oil is using them as support.
-
00:03:49And so we wouldn't be surprised if we had a move back up to the recent high.
-
00:03:55Unfortunately, the pros have not taken control just yet.
-
00:03:58Remember, we're only on our second day of
-
00:04:00a buy signal, so we'll give them a couple of more days to see if they come back in.
-
00:04:05Natural gas pulled back to the lower
-
00:04:07channel line yesterday, looking for a close on Tuesday.
-
00:04:10Below $3.70. 3.71 is support.
-
00:04:144.10 is acting as resistance.
-
00:04:17Of course, we always look for moves to be two lines at a time.
-
00:04:20And so if we start breaking down below
-
00:04:223.71, then two lines down takes us back to the 3.32 level.
-
00:04:28Unfortunately, the fly paper channel is
-
00:04:30still acting as resistance for natural gas and that is unfortunate.
-
00:04:35Of course, it's going to be a big
-
00:04:36celebration if we can start breaking out above those levels.
-
00:04:39Then looking at energy stocks, the XGD is on its fourth day of a buy signal here.
-
00:04:45When you look at this chart, you can see that it's crunched in.
-
00:04:49This particular chart is set to always have price in the middle of the chart.
-
00:04:53So if you are coming up to the top of the
-
00:04:55projected trading range, this is going to be flattened down.
-
00:04:59The top of the projected trading range is
-
00:05:01up there at 17.97. If we want to look beyond that, you can simply do the math or
-
00:05:07you can go to the weekly chart and see that 18.75 would be our next target.
-
00:05:12So if we take out the top of the daily range, 18.75 would be our next target and
-
00:05:17that would take us back to the high from early 2022.
-
00:05:21Then looking at US
-
00:05:22Energy stocks on the XLE.
-
00:05:25Again, looking at a weekly chart, you can see that 93.75 is our next target and we
-
00:05:31ran up to that recently and that has acted as resistance.
-
00:05:35If we can take that out, then $100 certainly comes into play.
-
00:05:39Moving back to the daily chart, you can see 93.75 is the top of the range right
-
00:05:44now and 84.38 is the bottom of the range at the moment.
-
00:05:49And there we are on our second day of a buy signal.
-
00:05:52For the XLE.
-
00:05:54Okay, that is all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:05:57So far it looks like we're going to have a fairly quiet open on Tuesday morning.
-
00:06:01Enjoy the rest of your day.
-
00:06:03The next time you'll hear my voice is on Wednesday morning.
