00:00:01Good Morning, everyone. Welcome to Friday morning.
-
00:00:03Stephen Whiteside here from theuptrend. com.
-
00:00:05In the premarket this morning, stock index
-
00:00:07futures are above fair value being led higher by the Nasdaq.
-
00:00:11Commodities are mixed with gold down while crude oil is higher on Friday morning.
-
00:00:16Let me first start off by apologizing.
-
00:00:18If you had trouble getting the reports
-
00:00:20last night, I also had trouble getting the reports.
-
00:00:23The problem has been recently fixed.
-
00:00:25I thought it was fixed before I went to bed.
-
00:00:28It wasn't fixed when I got up this morning.
-
00:00:30Something happened during the night and we've fixed it again.
-
00:00:35Hopefully, that fix will stay this time.
-
00:00:37But yeah, apologize about that.
-
00:00:39They are all up and running at the moment.
-
00:00:42The house of cards did not fall yesterday.
-
00:00:44Yes, the companies that we were watching in the premarket yesterday morning
-
00:00:49continued to trade lower throughout the day.
-
00:00:51We now have Tesla back on a sell signal.
-
00:00:54We have Netflix back on a sell signal.
-
00:00:55We also have Alphabet back on a sell signal and Amazon.
-
00:00:59We're what didn't roll over yesterday?
-
00:01:01Well, Apple is still on a buy signal at the upper channel line.
-
00:01:04We saw Meta trade into the channel and
-
00:01:07Microsoft also ended the day in the channel but not on a sell signal.
-
00:01:12Now, Shopify traded right down the lower channel line on both sides of the border,
-
00:01:16right on the edge of a new daily sell signal.
-
00:01:19Some of those stocks are trading higher in
-
00:01:21the premarket this morning, so not overly concerned at the open.
-
00:01:25Now, we're looking at the queues, we're
-
00:01:27looking for a close on Friday below $374.04. That would give us a sell signal.
-
00:01:35Now, the VIX traded higher yesterday but did not generate a buy signal, and that's
-
00:01:39why the rest of the market held up very well.
-
00:01:43We're looking for a close on Friday above $14.36. Looking at what didn't work
-
00:01:49yesterday, consumer discretionary, of course, those are the products you don't
-
00:01:53need during a recession, and semiconductors.
-
00:01:56Both of those sectors are back on sell signals as of Thursday's close.
-
00:02:01Now, the DOW continued to move higher yesterday, and some of the stocks that
-
00:02:04people have hated recently saw money flow into them on Thursday.
-
00:02:10We see the DAO is trading up to the next price target and is holding at the moment.
-
00:02:17It is trading slightly higher on Friday morning.
-
00:02:20Now, the reason the DAO was the big winner
-
00:02:22yesterday was Johnson & Johnson, and that looks like quite a surprise to investors.
-
00:02:29Then Goldman Sachs was up, making a new
-
00:02:31high for this move, taking out the previous highs on Long Goldman Sachs.
-
00:02:36Then Sirius Satellite Radio had a big update as well.
-
00:02:40And that was the big leader on the Nasdaq on Thursday.
-
00:02:46Now, we also saw money go into regional banks and Zions gapped higher yesterday.
-
00:02:51A lot of the stocks that we've been downplaying and that have
-
00:02:56not been performing well in 2023 saw money flow into them yesterday.
-
00:03:00Money did not come.
-
00:03:02I don't think money really came out of the market yesterday.
-
00:03:04I think it just moved from stock A to stock B.
-
00:03:08As long as that keeps going, then we're
-
00:03:11not going to see a major pullback in the market.
-
00:03:15Looking at what worked on the TSX, on the
-
00:03:18TSX 60, it was TC Energy was the big winner.
-
00:03:21On the TSX itself, it was SNC was the big winner.
-
00:03:26Looking at the iShares for the TSX 60,
-
00:03:29we're trying to get to 31.25. Maybe we can do that on Friday.
-
00:03:34Hopefully, you've got orders in to get filled at 31.25. If you're long the I
-
00:03:39shares, then looking at the SPY, we see a pull back yesterday.
-
00:03:43And yes, it did close below the previous day's low.
-
00:03:46The previous day was a very small bar, so not overly concerned so far.
-
00:03:51We're still hanging around our price
-
00:03:53target of 453.13, and hopefully you've locked in some profits there.
-
00:03:58And if you still have some shares left,
-
00:04:00then split those shares in half and put half of them up for sale at 468.
-
00:04:0575, and let's see what happens.
-
00:04:08Now, we've been talking about the crypto
-
00:04:10stocks this week with Bitcoin back on a sell signal.
-
00:04:13Coinbase is still trading up above the upper channel line.
-
00:04:16We saw Marathon has been in the channel
-
00:04:19for the past couple of days looking for a close below 1628 on Friday.
-
00:04:24Then we have new sell signals for Bitfarm for Galaxy.
-
00:04:28They're back on a sell signal, looking at
-
00:04:30Hive, looking for a close below $7.16. We actually closed at $7.15.
-
00:04:39Now, when you're in a situation like this where it doesn't look like we saw
-
00:04:43aggressive selling yesterday, you can always wait for the next close
-
00:04:46below the lower channel line if you don't want to bite the bullet
-
00:04:49and take the sell signal from Thursday as it is just at the lower channel line.
-
00:04:55Then similar situation for Hut 8 on both sides of the border.
-
00:04:59Let's finish off looking at commodities.
-
00:05:03We've got copper trading in the channel right now.
-
00:05:06On Wednesday, we dip below the lower channel line but came back on Thursday.
-
00:05:10Then looking at gold, gold pulled back yesterday.
-
00:05:13It's down a couple of dollars in the premarket this morning, we need a close
-
00:05:16below $1983.70 to give us a sell signal on Friday.
-
00:05:22Then looking at silver, silver is stuck up here at $25.
-
00:05:25We closed at $24.96 on Thursday.
-
00:05:29Then looking at crude oil, crude oil is dealing with 75.
-
00:05:33If we can take out this week's high, then
-
00:05:3578.13 would certainly be a legitimate target to the upside.
-
00:05:39Then we've got natural gas back on a buy signal.
-
00:05:43Now, this could be bullish.
-
00:05:45You see, we put in a higher low this week.
-
00:05:47And so if we can take out that high, that
-
00:05:50would certainly be very bullish for natural gas.
-
00:05:52If we could start putting in not only a higher low, but a higher high.
-
00:05:57Okay, folks, that is all for Friday.
-
00:06:00Friday's presentation. Have a great day.
-
00:06:02Try to stay cool.
-
00:06:03It's going to be a very hot weekend
-
00:06:06in the Southern US this weekend, so drink lots of water, stay away from carbonated
-
00:06:12beverages, and try to stay cool as you possibly can.
-
00:06:18The next time you'll hear my voice is on
-
00:06:20Sunday, and at that time, we'll take a look at the weekly charts.
