00:00:00Hello, everyone, and welcome to Monday Morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from theuptrend.com. In the pre market this
-
00:00:07morning, stock index futures and commodities are trading below fair value.
-
00:00:11So so far it looks like the market wants
-
00:00:14to do a little selling at the open on Monday morning.
-
00:00:16And that's not surprising.
-
00:00:17We had an amazing week last week.
-
00:00:19The month end has come and gone.
-
00:00:21And so to see a little selling this week wouldn't be that's surprising.
-
00:00:26In the pre market this morning, Uber is trading higher.
-
00:00:29The reason for that is it's being added to the S&P 500.
-
00:00:33Here's what the weekly chart of Uber looks like.
-
00:00:36Here's the weekly chart of the stock it's replacing.
-
00:00:39Looks like, and as we always say, always be upgrading.
-
00:00:42That's why the stock market indices continue to move higher over time.
-
00:00:46Now, we're going to be looking at a lot of weekly charts.
-
00:00:48We'll flip back to a couple of daily
-
00:00:50charts, but for the most part, we're looking at weekly charts.
-
00:00:53In this presentation, the VIX actually
-
00:00:55closed slightly higher on the week, really had an inside week.
-
00:00:59We're going to remain long term bullish on
-
00:01:01the market as long as the VIX does not close above $17.96 this coming Friday.
-
00:01:07Looking at a short term view of the VIX, we're going to remain short term bullish
-
00:01:10on the market as long as the VIX does not close above $13.79 on Monday.
-
00:01:17Now, if it doesn't close above that level,
-
00:01:19then that upper channel is going to continue to move lower.
-
00:01:22We're going to have trouble seeing the VIX break down from here.
-
00:01:26We are down to long term support at the 12.50 level.
-
00:01:29This is where we bottomed in September and
-
00:01:33the market started to pull back from that point.
-
00:01:36We're not looking for a huge pullback here.
-
00:01:38If we look at the daily Fly Paper Channel chart, you can see in the summer, we
-
00:01:43spiked up to the Fly Paper channel and came right back down.
-
00:01:47I'm expecting something like that to happen over the next two weeks in early
-
00:01:51December here before we go into the rest of the year end rally.
-
00:01:57But we'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:01:59Looking at a weekly chart of the US.
-
00:02:01Dollar index, it closed slightly lower on the week after making a new low.
-
00:02:04That's supportive for higher stock prices.
-
00:02:07Bond prices continued to move up and bond yields continued to move lower last week.
-
00:02:12That's supportive for higher stock prices.
-
00:02:14Crude oil was down on the week.
-
00:02:17That helps the inflation picture.
-
00:02:18That helps bond yields continue to move lower.
-
00:02:22At the present time, it's not so helpful for the Canadian stock market.
-
00:02:27Natural gas was down over 6% on the week, so no change in trend there.
-
00:02:32Now here's something interesting.
-
00:02:34Gold was up sharply on the week and it
-
00:02:37went into the weekend moving up towards that 2125 level.
-
00:02:42Now overnight, there was a huge spike in
-
00:02:44the price of gold and then it completely evaporated.
-
00:02:47And we're actually trading slightly lower
-
00:02:50in the pre market at the time of this recording.
-
00:02:53So we actually traded up over 2125 overnight and then came right back down.
-
00:02:59So technically gold might have peaked overnight.
-
00:03:02We'll just have to wait and see how the
-
00:03:04market digests that move over the next couple of days.
-
00:03:07For silver, we're looking for a move up to 26.
-
00:03:1056 for our next weekly price target.
-
00:03:13Now the TSX moved up nicely.
-
00:03:16It's heading up to long term resistance up at the 20,625 level.
-
00:03:22We'll have to see how the market reacts to that if we can push through it or not.
-
00:03:26The Dow certainly has pushed through
-
00:03:28resistance and is starting to trade above our next mathematical price target.
-
00:03:33We haven't broken away from it, we've just been able to trade above it.
-
00:03:37Looking at the S&P 500, we still got a
-
00:03:41ways to go before we get to our next weekly target.
-
00:03:44But we have come up to our daily target
-
00:03:47and that's where we peaked out back in the summer.
-
00:03:50So looking to see if we can break through
-
00:03:51the 4609.38 level and then looking at the Nasdaq 100, we're pretty well unchanged on
-
00:03:59the week, and we've come up just below resistance at 16,250.
-
00:04:05Similar situation for the Nasdaq composite at 14,375.
-
00:04:10Now, looking at a daily chart of the
-
00:04:12Russell 2000, we had a huge update on Friday which took us up over the
-
00:04:16resistance we've been following for the last couple of weeks.
-
00:04:19That's bullish for the market.
-
00:04:21It's telling us that the
-
00:04:24rally is starting to broaden out, so we'll look to see if that can continue.
-
00:04:27Our next target on both the daily and weekly chart is 1875.
-
00:04:32For the Russell 2000, we also saw the Nasdaq Next Generation stocks also break
-
00:04:37out on Friday and break out above the $25 level.
-
00:04:41We were up nearly 2% on the day.
-
00:04:43So that's bullish for the overall stock market.
-
00:04:46Looking at the TSX and we're looking at weekly charts here, you can see mid cap
-
00:04:51stocks were up back on a weekly buy signal, small cap stocks are back on a
-
00:04:56weekly buy signal, and the micro cap stocks in the Venture exchange were also
-
00:05:00up on the week, ending the week on a weekly buy signal.
-
00:05:04So that's bullish for the market that the rally is starting to broaden out.
-
00:05:09What might happen between now and year end
-
00:05:12is we might see some sector rotation in which money comes out of those big cap
-
00:05:17tech stocks and goes into the undervalued sectors of the market.
-
00:05:22We'll just have to wait and see if that happens.
-
00:05:24Certainly month end has come and gone, so that bullish bias is no longer with us.
-
00:05:29Wouldn't be surprised if we saw a pullback, especially in those big cap tech
-
00:05:32stocks over the next week or so before the year end rally gets going.
-
00:05:38Once again, enjoy the rest of your day, folks.
-
00:05:41Next time you'll hear my voice is on Tuesday morning.
