An influx in Downtrend Scan List constituents might otherwise be a cause for concern, after all, Wednesday did see the ASX 200 pare back from recent all-time highs. But rest assured – there are still the same near-record number of Uptrend Scan List constituents as seen in recent editions of ChartWatch ASX Scans.
If anything, the extra few downtrends should be welcomed as they provide those who have the ability to go short a potential shopping list of targets. Many fund managers simply cannot go long (i.e., buy stocks / profit from a rise in the stock prices of those stocks) if they can't also go short (i.e., sell stocks short / profit from a fall in the stock prices of those stocks).
Shorts are often viewed by professional investors as insurance for their portfolio, likely protecting it from a broad downturn in stocks. With the local bourse regularly punching out new highs, and with the Uptrends Scan List naturally therefore swollen with opportunity, it's therefore a welcome development to see a few more stocks to choose from in the Downtrends Scan List! (But not too many please...😁!)
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!

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's 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 – so always do your own research!!!
