00:00:00Hello, everyone, it's stephen Whiteside here from theuptrend.com with this
-
00:00:04weekend's edition of stock market timing television.
-
00:00:07Well the market had a pretty good week.
-
00:00:09It digested the Fed announcement and continued to move higher.
-
00:00:14It is certainly out of sync with the
-
00:00:16seasonality charts and we use these as a guide.
-
00:00:18You don't use them to actually trade place trades in the market.
-
00:00:25It just using a seasonality chart right now.
-
00:00:28The seasonality chart tells us we should
-
00:00:29be making seasonal lows and that is certainly not the case at the moment.
-
00:00:34Now we did have a bearish reversal day on
-
00:00:36Friday for a lot of areas of the market, but it wasn't a major sell off.
-
00:00:39So we did see some profit taking that could be the catalyst for more
-
00:00:44selling this week, but we don't have any evidence of that right now.
-
00:00:48It is still the technology sector leading the market higher and tech stocks are back
-
00:00:52up at highs that we haven't seen since late 2021.
-
00:00:57So we are up at major resistance right now
-
00:00:59and it'll be interesting to see how the market deals with that going forward.
-
00:01:04Chip stocks are still leading the way up nearly three and a half percent.
-
00:01:08AI stocks were up nearly four and a half percent on the week.
-
00:01:12Now looking at the VIX of the Fear Index,
-
00:01:14we made a new closing low on Friday, so we're going to remain long term bullish on
-
00:01:19the market as long as the VIX does not close above $19.29 this coming Friday.
-
00:01:25If you're trading the market on Monday, we would remain bullish on the market as long
-
00:01:29as the VIX does not close above $15.14 on Monday.
-
00:01:34Looking at the Canadian market, the TSX had an inside week.
-
00:01:37It closed higher but still on a weekly sell signal.
-
00:01:40We saw financial stocks, we saw bank
-
00:01:42stocks both move up but still on sell signals.
-
00:01:45Then we saw the energy sector close down a
-
00:01:48little over 2%, so still treading water here.
-
00:01:51And then we had gold stocks down .88% on the week.
-
00:01:55So yeah the financials were higher, but we saw commodity stocks trade lower.
-
00:02:01Then looking at the Nasdaq, new high for
-
00:02:03the Nasdaq, we're trading up to the 375 level.
-
00:02:06If you look to the left you can see the
-
00:02:09Nasdaq started to fade just below that level back in early 2022.
-
00:02:13And then looking at the SPY, we're up
-
00:02:162.22% on the week, starting to trade above the 375 level.
-
00:02:21453.13 is our next target to the upside.
-
00:02:24We did trade above that level back in the
-
00:02:28spring of 2022, but that's where we topped out.
-
00:02:32So we'll have to see how the S&P 500 deals with this going forward.
-
00:02:36Then looking at the Dow, the Dow
-
00:02:38unfortunately is still stuck at resistance, which it's been dealing with
-
00:02:41for basically over a year now, up at the 343.75 level.
-
00:02:46So we're looking to see if we can take out the high from back in late 2022.
-
00:02:52That'll be interesting to see if that happens.
-
00:02:55Regional banks pulled back this week, not a lot, but we had a couple of good up
-
00:03:00weeks for US regional banks and we still are waiting for a weekly buy signal.
-
00:03:05Then looking at mid cap, small cap stocks,
-
00:03:08they still traded higher, but there's not a lot of enthusiasm.
-
00:03:11We did have a couple of really good weeks and then things started to fade this week
-
00:03:15and that's probably not a good sign for the market going forward.
-
00:03:20Then looking at the Canadian market, mid caps, small caps and micro caps are all
-
00:03:24still on weekly sell signals, so no change in there.
-
00:03:27Obviously there's a big difference between the Canadian and US markets.
-
00:03:30A lot more technology stocks in the US, a
-
00:03:33lot more resource stocks in the Canadian market.
-
00:03:36Now looking at those big cap stocks,
-
00:03:38you've got Apple making new highs this week, you've got Meta making new highs up
-
00:03:43over 6%, you've got Microsoft up nearly 5%, you've got Nvidia up over 10%.
-
00:03:52Then you've got Tesla continuing to move
-
00:03:54higher up 6.6%, filling that open gap and trading above the 250 level.
-
00:04:01So 281.25 would be our next profit target for Tesla.
-
00:04:06Let's finish off with commodities.
-
00:04:08We saw copper trade up into the channel,
-
00:04:11so there's a possibility of a buy signal for copper this week.
-
00:04:14No joy for gold, no joy for silver, both had inside weeks.
-
00:04:19We also had an inside week for palladium, and then platinum made a new low for this
-
00:04:24move, so no change in trends for any of the metals.
-
00:04:27And then looking at the energy sector, we
-
00:04:29saw crude oil make a reversal this week, it closed in the channel.
-
00:04:33So looking for a close this coming Friday
-
00:04:35on the USO above 66.69 to give us a buy signal.
-
00:04:40Gasoline.
-
00:04:41Unfortunately, it's on its second week of a buy signal and that's not something you
-
00:04:45want to see going into the summer driving season.
-
00:04:49And then last up, we've got natural gas up
-
00:04:5315.59% on the week, still on a weekly sell signal.
-
00:04:58That would change this coming Friday if we
-
00:05:00closed above $7.24. Okay folks, that is all for this weekend's presentation.
-
00:05:07Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

00:05:08Next time you'll hear my voice is on Tuesday morning.
