KEY POINTS

  • Interesting uptrends in today's Scans: Antipa Minerals (AZY), Commonwealth Bank (CBA), Challenger Gold (CEL), Gorilla Gold Mines (GG8), Koonenberry Gold (KNB), MTM Critical Metals (MTM), Native Mineral Resources (NMR), Warriedar Resources (WA8).
  • Interesting downtrends in today's Scans: AGL Energy (AGL), Ansell (ANN), Bannerman Energy (BMN), Coronado Resources (CRN), Deep Yellow (DYL), Firefly Metals (FFM), Paladin Energy (PDN), Perpetual (PPT), Resmed (RMD), Regal Partners (RPL), Tabcorp (TAH).

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA). What a stock! What a stalwart. It's been back in the Uptrends Scan List for a couple of weeks now, and as a Feature Chart (highest conviction) several times, mind you.

Today marks an important milestone for CBA and ChartWatch ASX Scans – it's CBA's 50th appearance as a Feature Uptrend since ChartWatch ASX Scans began in May last year. That's a record, and it's also 8 appearances ahead of next best Feature Uptrend regular, Catalyst Metals (CYL), on 42 times.

Congratulations CBA! As the classic Swan beer song from the 80's goes: They said you'd never make it...🎵🎶

Literally! "They" (as in the big brokers) have nearly-unanimously been sell rated on CBA for the last 12 months – and they've been wrong – so here's to you CBA 🍺!

(Oh, and there's also the usual plethora of gold stocks in today's ChartWatch ASX Scans, plus regulars in the Downtrends lists, like uranium stock Paladin Energy (PDN), nickel-lithium stock IGO (IGO), Domino's Pizza (DMP), and several other so-called "blue chips" that many probably regret owning over the last 12 months – let's just say they're no CBA!)


Welcome to my ChartWatch Daily ASX Scans series. Here I present scan lists based on my trend following technical analysis methodology. My goal is to alert you to the best uptrends and downtrends on the ASX.

Feel free to get your favourite AI to convert the tables below into lists you can upload to your favourite trading platform like TradingView. Then you'll be able to skip from chart to chart and quickly and easily see the best uptrends and downtrends on the ASX.

Some investors prefer to buy those stocks in strong uptrends, and avoid, sell, or short sell those stocks in strong downtrends – but how you use the lists is really up to you!

Note, many stocks in both lists have appeared there many times before. As long as they keep meeting my criteria – they'll keep appearing. But note, there won't be any notifications when they don't, so you'll have to do your own research on when a particular trend changes!

ChartWatch Primer

For a detailed explanation of Carl's technical analysis methodology, be sure to check out this ChartWatch Primer.


Important considerations when using the ChartWatch Daily ASX Scans:
1. The future is unknown. Anything can happen to change the trends in the lists above. A stock in a perfect uptrend or downtrend may not remain that way by the close of trading today. 2. These lists are not exhaustive, they are curated by Carl. You will find that certain stocks might not appear in a particular list on consecutive days but might reappear when Carl feels it deserves to return to the list. 3. This is not a recommendation service, merely an aid to help you better understand the workings of Carl’s technical analysis model in a practical way. Carl will not alert you to stocks that have dropped off a list because their trend has changed – it is up to you to apply the criteria to determine why a particular stock might not still be included. 4. This is general, educational information only – always do your own research.
