      Hello everyone, and welcome to Wednesday Morning.
    • 00:00:02
      It's Stephen Whiteside here from The UpTrend.com. Well, we're coming up to
    • 00:00:07
      08:00 A.M. on the East Coast and stock index futures are above fair value.
    • 00:00:11
      The market's rather mixed.
    • 00:00:12
      We've got Nvidia up slightly while Tesla is trading lower in the pre market.
    • 00:00:18
      Now, yesterday we saw the US dollar index and bond yields continue to move higher.
    • 00:00:23
      That's not going to help the stock market over the long term.
    • 00:00:27
      Everybody's still watching the big shiny object which is Nvidia.
    • 00:00:30
      Nvidia pulled back yesterday after running up and retesting the July high.
    • 00:00:36
      We've got earnings coming up for Nvidia
    • 00:00:38
      and that is certainly going to add some volatility to the market.
    • 00:00:41
      Now, Nvidia is the Apple of 2023 and Apple
    • 00:00:45
      is still on a sell signal, so that has not changed.
    • 00:00:49
      Now, while everybody's looking at Nvidia
    • 00:00:51
      up at all time highs, a lot of the market is looking down sharply at the moment.
    • 00:00:56
      And the biggest concern, of course, is the financial sector.
    • 00:01:00
      And financials made a new low yesterday.
    • 00:01:03
      US banks, US regional banks both made new lows yesterday.
    • 00:01:07
      Now when we look at individual symbols,
    • 00:01:09
      they're going to look a lot weaker than these charts.
    • 00:01:12
      And of course, when you're looking at an
    • 00:01:14
      ETF, things are smoothed out because the ETF contains a basket of stocks.
    • 00:01:19
      Yesterday I mentioned Goldman Sachs is a
    • 00:01:21
      stock that I follow closely and it wasn't looking very healthy.
    • 00:01:24
      It actually made a new low on Tuesday.
    • 00:01:28
      Then look at Citigroup.
    • 00:01:29
      And of course we expect
    • 00:01:31
      any of these stocks to try to hold support at recent lows.
    • 00:01:35
      So the July low is taken out, the June low is taken out, the May low is taken out.
    • 00:01:41
      We're just heading lower at the moment.
    • 00:01:43
      There's no major areas of support ahead of us in the short term.
    • 00:01:48
      Then looking at the big regional bank
    • 00:01:50
      Trust, it's a regional bank holding company and it made a new low yesterday.
    • 00:01:55
      New low for Capital One Financial.
    • 00:01:58
      Then looking at insurance, the Travelers Group.
    • 00:02:01
      And then looking at Charles Schwab.
    • 00:02:03
      Now Charles Schwab came down to fill the open gap and tried to find support there
    • 00:02:08
      for a couple of days, and then yesterday that support broke.
    • 00:02:11
      So looking for lower prices here, then
    • 00:02:14
      looking at the Canadian side, not looking any healthier here.
    • 00:02:18
      There's the TSX Financials, TSX Banks
    • 00:02:21
      looking to try to find some area of support here.
    • 00:02:25
      When we look at the bank of Montreal,
    • 00:02:27
      we're right down at the early June, late May lows.
    • 00:02:32
      Then looking at Bank of Nova Scotia, which on the way up, when these banks were
    • 00:02:36
      rallying, the Bank of Nova Scotia looked the weakest and now it's looking the
    • 00:02:41
      weakest on the way back down, breaking down through the June lows, we've got the
    • 00:02:46
      Royal Bank heading down towards the May lows.
    • 00:02:48
      It had a nice run up.
    • 00:02:49
      Now it's having a great rundown.
    • 00:02:51
      And the TD Bank, which looked the
    • 00:02:53
      strongest on the way up, is still holding up fairly well.
    • 00:02:57
      Now, speaking of insurance companies,
    • 00:02:59
      we've got Manulife and SunLife looking fairly weak.
    • 00:03:02
      Manulife's trying to find footing at the June lows.
    • 00:03:06
      SunLife said goodbye to those June lows a
    • 00:03:09
      long time ago and heading down to see if we can hold support at the May lows.
    • 00:03:14
      Then what didn't work?
    • 00:03:15
      Well, Nuvia is the biggest loser in the
    • 00:03:18
      Canadian financial sector, down, I think, 47% in the last month.
    • 00:03:22
      What's working? Well, the Berkshire Hathaway equivalent in
    • 00:03:25
      Canada, Fairfax, is positive for the month of August and it was up yesterday.
    • 00:03:30
      Now, a close below yesterday's low would generate a new sell signal for Fairfax.
    • 00:03:37
      Then looking at the VIX, and the VIX is
    • 00:03:39
      still on a buy signal here trading in the channel.
    • 00:03:42
      If we want the stock market overall to
    • 00:03:45
      start making lower lows, we need the VIX to break out above the top of the range
    • 00:03:51
      right now, which is right at the 200 day moving average.
    • 00:03:54
      Now, looking at the major index ETFs that
    • 00:03:56
      we fall, they're all on sell signals right now.
    • 00:03:59
      We've got the Ishares for the TSX 60 making a new closing low yesterday.
    • 00:04:05
      The Dow had an inside day on Tuesday.
    • 00:04:08
      SP 500 traded up into the Channel before reversing, as did the Nasdaq.
    • 00:04:13
      So the Nasdaq is the closest to generating a buy signal on Wednesday.
    • 00:04:17
      And of course, depending on what Nvidia does, that could certainly happen.
    • 00:04:23
      It could also happen for semiconductors,
    • 00:04:26
      which also moved up into the Channel yesterday and then pulled back.
    • 00:04:30
      Looking at the commodity world, we saw the price of gold move up yesterday, just $3,
    • 00:04:36
      and the price of silver continued to move higher.
    • 00:04:39
      Now, that hasn't really helped silver
    • 00:04:41
      stocks, they were up yesterday, but no new trend.
    • 00:04:44
      No new trend for the XGD and no new trend for the GDX so far.
    • 00:04:50
      Then looking at the energy sector, we had crude oil pullback slightly.
    • 00:04:53
      We've got natural gas making a new low for this particular move.
    • 00:04:58
      And we saw Canadian energy stocks pull back still on a buy signal, while US
    • 00:05:03
      energy stocks are still on a sell signal from five days ago.
    • 00:05:08
      And let's finish off today's presentation looking at the world of bitcoin.
    • 00:05:12
      Bitcoin made a new closing low for this move yesterday, as did Ethereum.
    • 00:05:16
      And then all the bitcoin related stocks are still on sell signals.
    • 00:05:20
      No change in trend for bit farms, for
    • 00:05:23
      Coinbase, for Hive, for Hut 8, or for Marathon.
    • 00:05:28
      No changes of trend at all.
    • 00:05:30
      And still looking very weak.
    • 00:05:32
      And they all look like they're going to head lower from here.
    • 00:05:35
      Okay, folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
    • 00:05:38
      The world awaits Nvidia and Jackson Hole
    • 00:05:42
      Nvidia is certainly going to add some volatility to the market.
    • 00:05:45
      Whether it's going to change the overall direction of the market.
    • 00:05:48
      I'm not sure of the damage that higher
    • 00:05:52
      yields and higher interest rates are doing on many sectors of the market is probably
    • 00:05:58
      not going to be undone by one earnings report.
    • 00:06:01
      And you can certainly see how broad the damage is from financials to the
    • 00:06:06
      cryptocurrency market, they're all being hit at the moment.
    • 00:06:10
      Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday.
    • 00:06:11
      Next time you'll hear my voice is on Thursday morning.
