-
00:00:00Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Wednesday Morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from the
-
00:00:04uptrend.com in the pre market this morning, things are fairly quiet.
-
00:00:08DOW futures are below fair value.
-
00:00:10That might have something to do with UnitedHealthcare.
-
00:00:13Nasdaq futures are slightly above fair value.
-
00:00:16So, so far it looks like we're gonna have a quiet open on Wednesday.
-
00:00:20Today, of course, being Fed Day, I believe there's probably about a 90% chance the
-
00:00:24Fed is going to pause today and not do anything.
-
00:00:29If you believe that, and we're 100% right,
-
00:00:33that's what the Fed is going to do today, that doesn't really matter because we
-
00:00:38don't know how the market is going to react to what the Fed does and what the
-
00:00:42Fed says in the press conference after the announcement.
-
00:00:46Now, the VIX had an inside day yesterday
-
00:00:48looking for a close above $15.66 on Wednesday.
-
00:00:53We still have the US. Dollar index on a sell signal.
-
00:00:56No change there.
-
00:00:5730 year bonds still on a sell signal.
-
00:00:59Bond yields still on a buy signal.
-
00:01:01No change there.
-
00:01:03The price of gold's been treading water for the past couple of weeks.
-
00:01:06Looking for a close on Wednesday above $1,988.40. Silver came down yesterday.
-
00:01:12Of course, silver has been leading the precious metals higher.
-
00:01:16Looking for a close below $23.58 on Wednesday to give us a sell signal.
-
00:01:21Inside day yesterday for crude oil.
-
00:01:23Crude oil is trading up this morning that could help the Canadian market.
-
00:01:27Natural gas was up yesterday, looking for
-
00:01:29a close above 2.44. We've got some mixed signals here.
-
00:01:34On the previous run up, we actually
-
00:01:36broke out above the previous high, so that should be bullish.
-
00:01:40At the same time, we came down and broke
-
00:01:43previous support and made a lower low, so that should be bearish.
-
00:01:47So we've got real mixed signals here.
-
00:01:50We've been in a long term downtrend for natural gas, and we're hoping that it
-
00:01:53would have turned around by now, but that has not been the case.
-
00:01:57So looking for a close above $2.44 now, the Dow made a new closing high yesterday.
-
00:02:04It went up and hit our next price target.
-
00:02:06The big winner on the Dow yesterday was Caterpillar.
-
00:02:09Looking at the S&P 500 new high.
-
00:02:12For the S&P 500.
-
00:02:13The big winner was the regional bank Comerica, up over 6%.
-
00:02:18Hard to notice that on the chart.
-
00:02:20Then looking at the Nasdaq 100 new high.
-
00:02:24Big winner on the Nasdaq 100 was Rivian
-
00:02:26and then Semiconductors, making a new high as well.
-
00:02:30And we had Nvidia was one of the big
-
00:02:32winners on the SP 500, up nearly 4% on the day.
-
00:02:37New closing high for Nvidia.
-
00:02:40Then looking at the TSX, the Ishares for
-
00:02:42the TSX 60, closing half a cent above the upper channel line.
-
00:02:47So we're still on a buy signal here for the Ishares for the TSX 60.
-
00:02:51A big winner on the TSX 60 yesterday was
-
00:02:54Saputo, which was up over 4% on the day while the big loser on the TSX 60 was
-
00:03:01Shopify down 2.27%. Remember, we're trying to break out above 87 50.
-
00:03:08If we can do that, 93 75 comes into play.
-
00:03:12Looking at those big cap technology stocks.
-
00:03:14Apple still on a buy signal, very quiet trading on Tuesday.
-
00:03:18Then we've got Alphabet trading back in the channel.
-
00:03:22A close above 125.92 would give us a buy signal on Wednesday.
-
00:03:28Then looking at Amazon.
-
00:03:29New high for Amazon on Tuesday.
-
00:03:32Then looking at Meta.
-
00:03:34Meta is still on a buy signal here.
-
00:03:36That would change on Wednesday with a
-
00:03:38close below 262.61. Then we've got Microsoft back on a buy signal.
-
00:03:44Of course, this new buy signal would be considered a high risk buy signal and not
-
00:03:49expecting a lot to the upside, but we'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:03:53Then we've got the chip stock that I watch most closely, advanced Micro Devices,
-
00:03:59making a new high yesterday before pulling back.
-
00:04:02Still closing above the upper channel line.
-
00:04:04We need to close on Wednesday below 118.64 to kick us out of AMD.
-
00:04:10And then Tesla made a new high for this move on Tuesday.
-
00:04:14So no change in trend.
-
00:04:16I would imagine you've sold most of your
-
00:04:18position so far and you're waiting to get kicked out.
-
00:04:21Not expecting to get kicked out on Wednesday.
-
00:04:24We need a close below 219.07, to give us a sell signal for Tesla.
-
00:04:29Not expecting that to happen.
-
00:04:31And of course, that lower channel line is going to continue to move higher daily.
-
00:04:35Okay, folks, that is all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:04:38Not expecting a lot to happen this morning.
-
00:04:41Of course, we have no idea how the
-
00:04:43market's going to react to whatever the Fed does this afternoon.
-
00:04:47Stay tuned.
-
00:04:48Next time you'll hear my voice is on Thursday morning.
