-
00:00:00Good morning everyone, and welcome to Tuesday morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from The
-
00:00:04UpTrend.com. In the pre market this morning, things are fairly quiet.
-
00:00:09We don't have any major economic news coming out this morning.
-
00:00:12Stock index futures are trading slightly above fair value, while commodities are
-
00:00:16pulling back a bit in the pre market on Tuesday morning.
-
00:00:21Now, if you're with us, yesterday morning I mentioned the fact that the stock market
-
00:00:25was trading without adult supervision as the bond market was closed on Monday.
-
00:00:31And we're probably going to see some overreactions.
-
00:00:33And I wouldn't take anything that happened on Monday too seriously.
-
00:00:37We saw money go back into defense stocks,
-
00:00:40so that was certainly a knee jerk reaction.
-
00:00:43As you can see, up until yesterday, they weren't doing very well.
-
00:00:46We saw a big pop in Northrop Grumman that was the biggest winner on the S&P 500,
-
00:00:52followed by Lockheed and then General Dynamics.
-
00:00:55All of them popped.
-
00:00:56I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled back over the next few days.
-
00:01:00That's also true with commodities.
-
00:01:03We made a lower low for crude oil on Friday and then a big pop on Monday.
-
00:01:07And we saw a big pop in energy stocks that also made a new low on Friday.
-
00:01:12We also saw the price of gold and the price of silver shoot up on Monday.
-
00:01:16We saw gold and silver stocks also move up.
-
00:01:19Looking at the GDX, you can see we traded up to the bottom of that open gap once
-
00:01:23again, and it's still acting as resistance.
-
00:01:26Now, the Canadian market will probably
-
00:01:28play catch up at the open on Tuesday morning to what happened in the US.
-
00:01:33Yesterday, but I wouldn't be surprised if
-
00:01:35the commodity stocks and defense related stocks pulled back over the next few days.
-
00:01:41Now the VIX had a wild day yesterday, ended up being an inside day.
-
00:01:44So we traded above the upper channel line,
-
00:01:47but did not take out Friday's high, and we pulled back and closed in the channel.
-
00:01:51So on Tuesday, we're looking for a close
-
00:01:54below $17.07 to tell us that the option market is not as fearful as it has been
-
00:02:00recently and that would be supportive for higher stock prices.
-
00:02:05Looking at the major stock market index ETFs, looking at the Ishares for the TSX
-
00:02:0960, they traded up to the lower channel line on Friday.
-
00:02:13So on Tuesday, we're looking for a close above 29 67.
-
00:02:17Now, when we look at the index itself, it
-
00:02:19traded up close to the lower channel line on Friday.
-
00:02:22It is trading higher by $12.20 in the pre market this morning.
-
00:02:27So looking at the futures contract for the TSX 60, which is not the same as the
-
00:02:33Ishares for the TSX 60, we're trading up in the channel at the moment.
-
00:02:38So not enough to give us a buy signal, but
-
00:02:39certainly enough to get us back in the channel on Tuesday morning.
-
00:02:44Now, the Dow traded up to the upper
-
00:02:47channel line any higher close on Tuesday would give us a buy signal, which would
-
00:02:51join the S&P 500, which is now back on a buy signal as of Monday's close, joining
-
00:02:57the Nasdaq which generated a buy signal on Friday.
-
00:03:01And of course, we've been watching those big cap tech stocks, which are mostly back
-
00:03:05on buy signals right now, once again, leading the market higher.
-
00:03:09Now, Semiconductors had a fairly quiet and
-
00:03:11an inside day on Monday, even though we've got Nvidia on a buy signal right now.
-
00:03:16So looking at those big cap technology
-
00:03:19stocks, we saw Alphabet make a new high for this move, moving right back up to the
-
00:03:25high from September and it looks like it wants to take that out on Tuesday.
-
00:03:30No joy for Amazon just yet.
-
00:03:32We're looking for a close above 129.44 on Tuesday to give us a buy signal.
-
00:03:36Apple, third day of a buy signal for Apple.
-
00:03:39And then we saw Meta continue to move
-
00:03:42higher, so it's taking a run at those highs from late July.
-
00:03:46We've got Microsoft on its second day of a buy signal, so no change in trend there.
-
00:03:52Inside day for nvidia on Monday.
-
00:03:55And then we saw shopify trading in New York on Monday.
-
00:03:58Also had an inside day.
-
00:04:00We're looking for a close on Tuesday above
-
00:04:02$54.35. And we also saw Tesla putting in an inside day on Monday.
-
00:04:09Let's finish off today's presentation.
-
00:04:11Taking a look at what didn't work on
-
00:04:13Monday and anything travel related did not work on Monday.
-
00:04:17There's the Jets ETF.
-
00:04:19Down over two and a half percent, making a new low.
-
00:04:22The biggest loser on the S&P 500 on Monday was United Airlines.
-
00:04:26Again, we're making a new low here, down nearly 5% on the day.
-
00:04:31There's Delta Airlines making a new low.
-
00:04:34A new low for Carnival Cruises.
-
00:04:36A new low for American Airlines.
-
00:04:39Royal Caribbean did not make a new low, but ended the day down nearly 3%.
-
00:04:44So anything travel related did not work on Monday.
-
00:04:47Anything military related did work on Monday.
-
00:04:51Okay folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:04:54Have a great day.
-
00:04:55Next time you'll hear my voice is on Wednesday morning.
