I can't decide which list has the most attractive opportunities today. Hey, it's a bull market, it has been since May, and more broadly for around 2-years now – so generally, the strongest setups have typically resided in the Uptrends Scan List 📈. Certainly, that's where the vast bulk of setups have appeared.

Take for example over the last 2-months, the average length of the Uptrends Scan List is 74 stocks per day, compared to 22 stocks per day for the Downtrends Scan List 📉. So, roughly 3.4 to 1. I have to say though, that while there are some tremendously strong setups in today's Uptrends Scan List, I am far more impressed by the quality of setups in the Downtrends Scan List.

How is a stock plunging an opportunity, I hear you ask? Well, first, let's address the fact that it's an opportunity to reduce risk (to be fair though – by the time a stock hits my Downtrends Scan List – ideally one's risk is zero), and secondly, one can go short and earn a profit from a continued decline in a Downtrends Scan List constituent's price.

If we look down that Downtrends Scan List today, there are a bunch of stocks that I'm sure sit comfortably (or uncomfortably if one's paying attention!) within many Aussie investors' portfolios (plus probably many professional fund managers' portfolios too!):

  • Amcor (AMC)

  • Breville Group (BRG)

  • Bluescope Steel (BSL)

  • EQT (ASX: EQT)

  • Flight Centre Travel Group (FLT)

  • GQG Partners (GQG)

  • HMC Capital (HMC)

  • Karoon Energy (KAR)

  • Lifestyle Communities (LIC)

  • Premier Investments (PMV)

  • REA Group (REA)

  • Sonic Healthcare (SHL)

  • Santos (STO)

  • Wisetech Global (WTC)

And the list goes on... I'd say there are quite a few "blue chips" in there as well. With so many excellent potential long and short setups – as traders, we are truly spoilt for choice right now – and in my experience, these are the best markets to trade 💪.


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!!!
