Key Points
- Interesting uptrends in today's Scans: Austal (ASB), Antipa Minerals (AZY), Bubs Australia (BUB), Global Defence ETF (DFND), Electro Optic Systems (EOS), Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Physical Gold ETF (GOLD), Helia (HLI), Karoon Energy (KAR), Newmont (NEM).

There are several major themes in today's Uptrends and Downtrends Scan Lists:
Uptrends
Defence (figuratively and literally!), i.e., probably a dozen or more Gold and Silver stocks, a Gold miners ETF, and a physical Gold ETF, plus Defence (i.e., military applications) like ASB and EOS and a defence industry ETF (DFND).
Geopolitical instability winners (defence also fits into this category), i.e., energy* (KAR, ORG) and critical minerals^ (CHN, LYC, VMM)
Downtrends
Travel and consumer discretionary, higher crude oil prices *due to escalating tensions in the Middle East will likely flow through to higher petrol prices, and therefore lesser disposable income (AX1, CTT, HUM, KGN, MYR, PMV) as well as reduce the demand for travel (HLO, FLT).
Big mining, both BHP and RIO find themselves back in the Downtrends Scan List despite plenty of talk this week about thawing ^trade relations between China and the US (what does that tell you!)
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 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.
Carl has over 30-year's investing experience, helping investors navigate several bull and bear markets over this time. He is a well respected markets commentator who specialises in how the global macro impacts Australian and US equities. Carl has a passion for technical analysis and has taught his unique brand of price-action trend following to thousands of Aussie investors.
