-
00:00:00Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Tuesday morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from TheUpTrend.
-
00:00:05om.
-
00:00:06In the pre-market this morning, things are fairly quiet.
-
00:00:08Stock index futures are trading a little below fair value.
-
00:00:12Commodities are mixed with crude oil flat,
-
00:00:14while gold is slightly higher on Tuesday morning.
-
00:00:18Now, this is an extremely busy week for the market.
-
00:00:21We've got a Fed meeting starting today.
-
00:00:23We've got lots of earnings coming out, and
-
00:00:25we also have lots of economic numbers coming out.
-
00:00:28So it could certainly end up being a volatile week.
-
00:00:31Now, historically, we are coming into month end.
-
00:00:34Usually has a bullish bias to it, but that
-
00:00:36just might not be the case this week with all that's going on.
-
00:00:40Now, moving on to the Canadian market.
-
00:00:42The TSX is trading up at the top of the panic zones right now, and this is a very
-
00:00:47high-risk time to be putting new money into the market.
-
00:00:50But we are on a short-term buy signal.
-
00:00:53We saw some weakness recently.
-
00:00:55Our chart, which is designed for swing
-
00:00:58traders, our right-side chart, currently on a buy signal.
-
00:01:00That would change on Tuesday with a close below 20,902.
-
00:01:05Now, in our database, we also have a
-
00:01:07midterm chart, which is more designed for position traders, and it certainly gives
-
00:01:12the market a little more room to breathe down towards 20,600.
-
00:01:16We'll be watching these charts closely
-
00:01:18over the next few weeks to see if we do get any new sell signals.
-
00:01:22But right now, the market is still pointing higher.
-
00:01:25We've got the TSX on a buy signal, the TSX-60, mid-caps, small caps, but
-
00:01:30unfortunately, micro-caps haven't caught up yet.
-
00:01:33That could certainly happen on Tuesday.
-
00:01:36What worked, what didn't work on Monday?
-
00:01:38Well, Infotex, just like in the US, led
-
00:01:40the market higher while energy stocks were down on the day.
-
00:01:44That's crazy because if you were watching the news yesterday, there's a lot
-
00:01:49happening in the Middle East and not all good.
-
00:01:52We did see a new high for this move for crude oil before reversing.
-
00:01:57Now, it reversed but didn't close below
-
00:01:59the previous day's low, so not as bad as it could have been.
-
00:02:03The first sign, something new, of course,
-
00:02:04is if we close below the previous day's low on any chart.
-
00:02:08Looking for a move up to 81.25 this week,
-
00:02:11which would take us back up to what was support back in October.
-
00:02:15And then from there we would expect to
-
00:02:18move up to 87.50. That is not happening on Tuesday morning.
-
00:02:22Now, looking at the HOU, the Leveraged ETF, it had an inside day yesterday.
-
00:02:29And then looking at energy stocks, the XEG
-
00:02:31also had an inside day on Monday, so no change in trend for those.
-
00:02:36Suncor closed down slightly yesterday.
-
00:02:38Canadian Natural Resources has been in the channel for the last three days, so
-
00:02:43certainly the possibility of a sell signal on Tuesday with a close below 84.93.
-
00:02:49Now, we're not expecting a trend change for Whitecap or Bayex or Cenovus .
-
00:02:54They're all holding up fairly well.
-
00:02:56And then moving on to technology stocks.
-
00:02:58This is where all the money made on Monday.
-
00:03:01A new high for the index, new high for the XIT ETF.
-
00:03:06Then we've got Celestica making a new closing high yesterday.
-
00:03:10We had Shopify up over 2%.
-
00:03:14Then we've got Bitfarm's back on a buy signal there.
-
00:03:17A new high for Constellation software, new high for CGI.
-
00:03:23Then we've got Dye & Durham back on a buy signal as of Monday's close.
-
00:03:27New high for Enghouse here.
-
00:03:29And We've got Lightspeed back on a buy signal as of Monday's close.
-
00:03:33Then we're looking at Open Text making a new closing high yesterday.
-
00:03:37What didn't work, unfortunately, the most followed stock on the stock house
-
00:03:41billboards, Pyrogenesis, is on its second day of a sell signal, so no joy there.
-
00:03:48Okay, folks, that's all I wanted to cover this morning.
-
00:03:51The winners in the tech sector,
-
00:03:53unfortunately, the losers yesterday, and not by much less than 1%.
-
00:03:57That was the energy sector, and hopefully, things can turn around
-
00:04:01for that sector, which is still on a buy signal at the present time.
-
00:04:05Have a great day, folks.
-
00:04:06Next time you'll hear my voice is on Wednesday morning.
-
00:04:38Morning.
