-
00:00:00Well, good morning, everyone.
-
00:00:02Welcome to Friday morning.
-
00:00:03It's Stephen Whiteside here from theuptrend.
-
00:00:05com.
-
00:00:06In the premarket this morning, things are fairly quiet.
-
00:00:09Yesterday, we were waiting for CPI numbers.
-
00:00:11This morning, we were waiting for PPI numbers.
-
00:00:13Just like yesterday, the volatility will expand after those numbers come out.
-
00:00:18Yesterday was a rather wild day.
-
00:00:21We did have the Dow up over 400 points,
-
00:00:23and then it ended the day almost unchanged.
-
00:00:26You can see how wide the bar was for the
-
00:00:30VIX, and we were closed slightly lower yesterday.
-
00:00:33Looking for a close on Friday below 14:75, that would put us back on a bullish tone
-
00:00:38and we'd start looking for buying opportunities.
-
00:00:41As I've mentioned several times over the
-
00:00:44past month, I'm really looking for a breakout above the Fly Paper Channel.
-
00:00:48The market has had times of stress over the past six months in which we traded up
-
00:00:54into the Fly Paper Channel and quickly reversed.
-
00:00:57And that, of course, is bullish.
-
00:00:59If we can start breaking down and get a
-
00:01:01new sell signal for the VIX, that would certainly be bullish.
-
00:01:04If we start breaking out above the
-
00:01:06Fly Paper Channel, that, of course, would add to the bearishness.
-
00:01:10Looking at the bond market, the 30-year
-
00:01:12bond had a wild day, traded right up to the upper channel line, then came right
-
00:01:16back down and closed below the lower channel line.
-
00:01:19We saw just as much volatility in the yield, and the yield came up, filled an
-
00:01:24open gap, and looks like it wants to go back up and retest the recent high.
-
00:01:29Of course, that's not good for the stock market if that happens.
-
00:01:32A couple of stocks in the news yesterday,
-
00:01:34both Ford and GM were down sharply yesterday and made new lows for this move.
-
00:01:40Then we had Disney.
-
00:01:41Disney was the big winner on the DAO and the S&P 500 yesterday.
-
00:01:45Nice big update.
-
00:01:46I don't think there's much left to go on the upside for Disney.
-
00:01:5293.75 is our first mathematical price
-
00:01:55target, and that's where we topped out back in June.
-
00:01:58Just above that is the bottom of the open gap at 95.11. That is certainly a
-
00:02:03possibility that we go up and retest that area.
-
00:02:07You can see that Disney has been following the moving averages quite well.
-
00:02:12The 50 day moving average acted as a
-
00:02:14resistance here and here and now we've moved up to the 100 day.
-
00:02:18Is the 200 day, is that going to be resistance?
-
00:02:21Well, it certainly was back in May.
-
00:02:24The 95.11 area is certainly a legitimate
-
00:02:28target to the upside and a legitimate area of resistance.
-
00:02:33Looking at what worked on the TSX, well, it was the Brookfields were the big
-
00:02:36winners on the TSX yesterday, followed by Shopify.
-
00:02:39Shopify can't really notice what happened there, up nearly two and a half %.
-
00:02:44Of course, Shopify is a very volatile
-
00:02:47stock and had an inside day yesterday, so we're really not going to notice
-
00:02:51yesterday's price action unless we break out above the previous day's range.
-
00:02:56What didn't work on the TSX?
-
00:02:58Well, it was Canadian Tire, gapping sharply lower yesterday.
-
00:03:02Looking at the major ETFs that we follow, there's the Dow Diamonds trading up
-
00:03:07through the upper channel line, then closing down at the lower channel line.
-
00:03:10Certainly, a possibility of a buy signal
-
00:03:12on Friday if the market wants to turn around.
-
00:03:15There's the S&P 500 closing almost unchanged on the day.
-
00:03:20Similar situation for the Nasdaq-100.
-
00:03:23Probably the biggest headline from Thursday's trading action, the SOX or the
-
00:03:27semiconductors making a new low for this move on Thursday.
-
00:03:31Looking at the TSX, it had a wild day
-
00:03:33traded up through the upper channel line, then closed just below where it opened.
-
00:03:38I guess the big headline from the Canadian
-
00:03:40market on Thursday was we filled the open gap.
-
00:03:43Now we're going to have to see how the market moves next.
-
00:03:46We certainly have a possibility of a buy signal on Friday, but also the fact that
-
00:03:51we filled the gap may be the last move to the upside at this point.
-
00:03:56What worked on the TSX? Well, it was Telecom.
-
00:03:59Stocks were the big winners.
-
00:04:00The big losers was healthcare.
-
00:04:02There's only a couple of stocks in the healthcare index.
-
00:04:05When I first started, before I had the
-
00:04:07Uptrend, I had a website called Just Biotechs, and I think we had 40 Canadian
-
00:04:11biotechs that we were following at that time.
-
00:04:14All of those companies are basically gone.
-
00:04:15There's just a couple left.
-
00:04:17The biggest stock by percentages from Thursday's trading
-
00:04:23action was Tillray, which is down over eight and a half % on the day.
-
00:04:28Then, of course, the biggest company is
-
00:04:30Bausch, which was down two and a half %, making a new low for this move.
-
00:04:34Looking at commodities, we saw a small pullback in crude oil yesterday, small
-
00:04:39pullback in gasoline, and a bigger pullback in natural gas.
-
00:04:43If you were trading natural gas, if you had an order in at 7:81, well, guess what?
-
00:04:47That got filled at 8:05.
-
00:04:49That was the opening price on Wednesday,
-
00:04:52and then we had a nice big pullback on Thursday.
-
00:04:56We're still on a buy signal here that
-
00:04:58would change on Friday with a close below 7:10.
-
00:05:02Then looking at energy stocks on the TSX,
-
00:05:05very small pullback there, very small pullback in New York.
-
00:05:09So no change in trend for the energy sector.
-
00:05:12Looking at the precious metals, we had a gold move lower yesterday.
-
00:05:16Silver closed slightly higher on the day, but you wouldn't really notice it.
-
00:05:20And then looking at the stocks, the GDX was up slightly yesterday.
-
00:05:24We had the XGD
-
00:05:27up slightly yesterday and the SIL, Silver Miners down slightly on Thursday.
-
00:05:33Let's take a look at those most actively traded stocks.
-
00:05:37We'll use the same list we used yesterday morning just for comparison, and we'll
-
00:05:41start off by looking at the US most actives.
-
00:05:44Let's do a little chart workshop this morning.
-
00:05:48For each symbol in our database, we have 15 charts.
-
00:05:51When you're first investigating a symbol,
-
00:05:54you probably want to look at all 15 charts.
-
00:05:56Start with the monthly, work through the
-
00:05:58seven weekly, and get to the seven daily and decide whether you want to trade this
-
00:06:02stock, invest in this stock, hold it for the long term, short term, whatever you
-
00:06:06want to do, you need to do that research ahead of time.
-
00:06:09Then when it's in your portfolio, if
-
00:06:12you're actively managing it, then you want to look at as few charts as possible
-
00:06:16because you don't want to have analysis paralysis.
-
00:06:19I have a custom view that includes three
-
00:06:21charts for when I'm analyzing my particular portfolio.
-
00:06:26We start off with a Panic Zones chart.
-
00:06:28What we're looking for is either low risk buying opportunities where the stock is at
-
00:06:33the bottom of the Panic Zones and a Pressure Zone is starting to form.
-
00:06:36Or in this case, the market is coming off an overbot situation, and we know it's
-
00:06:41overbot when it trades up to the top of the Panic Zones.
-
00:06:44So that's overbot.
-
00:06:45Then you're looking for early warning
-
00:06:46signals, and that's how most symbols look right now.
-
00:06:50They're coming off the top of the
-
00:06:51Panic Zoness and you've got new early warning signals.
-
00:06:54And so when I bring up my portfolio, the first thing I'm going to do is just hit
-
00:06:58the down arrow key and walk through all of my stocks.
-
00:07:03I'm going to spend a split second on each one because I'm looking for major changes.
-
00:07:09Here's a stock that's had a major change this week.
-
00:07:12Here's the early warning signal.
-
00:07:14The chart started to turn red, which would have meant sell signal.
-
00:07:18Here's where the first sell signal came
-
00:07:21in, or the most recent sell signal, excuse me.
-
00:07:24You would have sold there.
-
00:07:25If you shorted the stock, you would have shorted it at the open the next day.
-
00:07:29Otherwise, you're out of this stock and
-
00:07:31now you're watching it continue to move lower.
-
00:07:35Wednesday, we saw panic selling.
-
00:07:37Yesterday was an inside day.
-
00:07:39Two things have worked out here.
-
00:07:41We are below the bottom of the Panic Zones, so that's panic selling.
-
00:07:44And we have a new Pressure Zone forming.
-
00:07:46Now, the third part of the equation, of course, is now we need to see money come
-
00:07:50back into this stock and for it to start to move back up.
-
00:07:54We're certainly not seeing that on Friday morning.
-
00:07:56Now, to generate a buy signal on Friday, we're looking for a close above 37.70.
-
00:08:01Since we had a huge gap down, we're nowhere near that at the moment,
-
00:08:05but that upper channel line is going to continue to move lower daily.
-
00:08:09So to get a new buy signal in this stock, unless something amazing happens like
-
00:08:13somebody offers to buy the company today, we're not going to see any upward momentum
-
00:08:19that would be enough to generate a buy signal for some time.
-
00:08:23That may take several weeks, it may take a month.
-
00:08:26We'll just have to wait and see or it may never happen.
-
00:08:29So maybe the stock is heading towards bankruptcy.
-
00:08:32I have no idea.
-
00:08:33It's still a $30 stock, so people aren't thinking that way at the moment.
-
00:08:39But what I can tell you is we made a high
-
00:08:41here, then we made a recently a lower high.
-
00:08:44We made a low here, and now we're making a lower low.
-
00:08:47So I would expect that pattern of lower highs and lower lows to continue.
-
00:08:53Advanced micro devices, this one's a
-
00:08:55little interesting and it's one I follow, and so I'm not happy about it.
-
00:08:59But the stock is currently broken.
-
00:09:02Typically, you see selling and you get down to the bottom of the Panic Zoness and
-
00:09:06it pressures on forms and the stock starts to move back up.
-
00:09:09Of course, there's no guarantee just how
-
00:09:12far the stock is going to move after you have a low risk buying opportunity.
-
00:09:16For Advanced Micro Devices, we had a high here.
-
00:09:18We pulled back, Pressure Zone started to form.
-
00:09:22We were expecting it to move back up and retest the recent highs.
-
00:09:25The rally failed very quickly.
-
00:09:28Then we set up another opportunity where we should have moved up.
-
00:09:31That has failed so far.
-
00:09:33We've been treading water for the past month.
-
00:09:35That open gap was filled, but people still
-
00:09:39are sorry or have memories of that open gap.
-
00:09:42It's acting as a magnet at the moment, even though it's filled.
-
00:09:45It's no longer an open gap.
-
00:09:47We looked at the pros in the public the
-
00:09:49other day, and they've been intertwined for weeks now.
-
00:09:53Nobody has any real conviction of where
-
00:09:56Advanced Micro Devices is going to go next.
-
00:09:59Lucid, nothing going on with this stock at the moment.
-
00:10:02Pen, interesting.
-
00:10:03We popped, ran up into the open gap and have pulled back.
-
00:10:07That looks like it was a one day event, not something I would have chased.
-
00:10:12We need to close on Friday below $25.01, and that's probably likely to happen.
-
00:10:18We came down, looks like want to fill that gap.
-
00:10:21We may see a sell signal for Pen on Friday.
-
00:10:24Tillray had a big up move.
-
00:10:27Hopefully, you've taken some money off the
-
00:10:29table on the way up, and now you're watching it come back down.
-
00:10:33On Friday, we need to close in New York below $2.27, and that could happen.
-
00:10:39The stock has been very volatile over the
-
00:10:42past couple of days, so we'll just have to wait and see.
-
00:10:45Then Amazon popped last week.
-
00:10:47It's up through the top of the Panic Zoness.
-
00:10:50I said I wouldn't chase it, and it hasn't come back down to fill the gap yet, but
-
00:10:55I'm really not expecting it to be able to move past last week's high anytime soon.
-
00:11:01Then if we go back up, there was no trend changes from Thursday's trading action.
-
00:11:06We just continue to scan up till we get back up to Palantir.
-
00:11:10Fairly quiet trading day for Neo, still on a sell signal, no change there.
-
00:11:15Inside day on Thursday for Apple, no change there.
-
00:11:18Then looking at NVIDIA, we made a lower-low yesterday,
-
00:11:22certainly not as aggressive as the selling we saw on Wednesday.
-
00:11:27Rivian made a new low yesterday, no change there.
-
00:11:30Fairly quiet trading on Thursday for Tesla.
-
00:11:33Then looking at Palantir, fairly quiet trading for Palantir on Thursday with an
-
00:11:38inside day looking to see if we can hold the $15 level on Friday.
-
00:11:44Next up, let's walk through the TSX most
-
00:11:46actives, and we're going to use the same list that we used yesterday morning.
-
00:11:50Now, as I mentioned earlier, we're going
-
00:11:52to use the same stocks that we looked at yesterday morning.
-
00:11:55Again, I'm using a custom view of my portfolio here.
-
00:12:00You can create a custom view using any charts that you want.
-
00:12:03I just like to look at three.
-
00:12:06Remember, I'm managing a portfolio, I'm not doing analysis.
-
00:12:11This is just an example.
-
00:12:12We're using the most actively traded stocks from Wednesday's trading action.
-
00:12:16The first thing I'm looking for, of course, is an early warning signal.
-
00:12:20There's only three charts in this particular view.
-
00:12:23Just hitting the right arrow key moves me
-
00:12:26through the charts for this particular symbol.
-
00:12:29And of course, hitting the down arrow key is going to take me from symbol to symbol.
-
00:12:34Looking at B2gold, there was the last early warning signal.
-
00:12:37Then the chart started to turn from blue to red.
-
00:12:41We are down at the bottom of the
-
00:12:43Panic Zoness, currently ranked as zero, and there's a Pressure Zone forming.
-
00:12:47As you can see, the stock is not held in high regard at the moment.
-
00:12:51The elongated Pressure Zone across the
-
00:12:53bottom of the screen tells us that the stock is broken.
-
00:12:56It's making a series of lower highs and lower lows.
-
00:13:00Now, if you want to own this stock, well, we've got a ways to go.
-
00:13:03On Friday, we're looking for a close above $4.47. That's not likely to happen and
-
00:13:09that upper channel line is going to continue to move lower daily.
-
00:13:13Where is our next price target?
-
00:13:15391 is our next price target.
-
00:13:18Now, as I continue to scroll down, what
-
00:13:21I'm looking for, of course, is new early warning signals.
-
00:13:24Close below the previous days low is not a
-
00:13:27healthy sign, but it is not a sell signal by itself.
-
00:13:30We're just going to scan down.
-
00:13:32No new early warning signal for Crescent Point.
-
00:13:35We had an inside day yesterday.
-
00:13:3911:33 was our next price target.
-
00:13:41Then if we continue to move higher, the
-
00:13:44top of our projected trading range is 11.72. There's Manulife.
-
00:13:49We're back on a buy signal as of Thursday's close.
-
00:13:54If we can get out above resistance,
-
00:13:57that would be 26.56. This is not a trade I'd be that interested in taking.
-
00:14:01We're already up at the top of the Panic Zoness.
-
00:14:04We're coming up to resistance
-
00:14:06at 26.56. That held us in check last couple of weeks ago.
-
00:14:11It also held us in check back in April, so that's a major area of resistance.
-
00:14:15Not sure we're going to be able to get through it in the month of August.
-
00:14:19If we were coming into this and the overall market momentum was up, if the VIX
-
00:14:26was on a sell signal, I'd be more bullish about some of these opportunities.
-
00:14:30But when you look at manual life, we're already up at the top of the Panic Zones.
-
00:14:34So not something I would want to chase.
-
00:14:37Again, no new early warning signal.
-
00:14:40Canadian Natural Resources currently
-
00:14:42ranked at 10, very quiet trading yesterday.
-
00:14:45Our next price target is $84.38.
-
00:14:48Then looking at Athabasca, there's a new early warning signal up there.
-
00:14:53We made a high, had a pullback yesterday,
-
00:14:56so looking for a close below $3.51 on Friday, not expecting that to happen.
-
00:15:02We were trying to get up to 391.
-
00:15:04So far, we have not been able to do so.
-
00:15:07Then, that tillray has pulled back over the past couple of days, so hopefully,
-
00:15:11you've been able to lock in some profits along the way.
-
00:15:14We've had two early warning signals
-
00:15:17recently and it looks like we want to pull back.
-
00:15:19There's an open gap way down here and there's no indication.
-
00:15:24We're going to head back down to that level at this particular time.
-
00:15:28On Friday, we're looking for a close below
-
00:15:30$3.01 to give us a sell signal for till rate.
-
00:15:34Then let's finish off with Enbridge.
-
00:15:35It's the second day of a buy signal here,
-
00:15:38so not expecting to be able to break out above $50.
-
00:15:42That acted as resistance back in July, and
-
00:15:45I would expect that to continue to act as resistance going forward.
-
00:15:50Okay, folks, that's all for this morning's presentation.
-
00:15:53Ppi numbers just came out.
-
00:15:54They were a little hotter than expected.
-
00:15:57Stock index futures first reaction is to the downside, but not by much.
-
00:16:01Dao future is currently down 50 points,
-
00:16:04so not a lot of reaction from the numbers so far.
-
00:16:07But just like yesterday, we're expecting volatility to expand throughout the day.
-
00:16:12Enjoy the rest of your Friday. Enjoy your weekend.
-
00:16:15Next time you'll hear my voices on Sunday.
-
00:16:17Next week, I won't be doing any premarket videos.
-
00:16:20I will be working on some new tutorials, and we won't be posting those publicly.
-
00:16:26Again, enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll talk to you again on Sunday.
