As the title of today's ChartWatch ASX Scans suggests, there are a few stocks from the Energy Sector Index (XEJ) in today's edition. That in itself is interesting given how precarious the sector was looking in terms of its trends not very long ago.

ASX 200 Energy Sector Index (XEJ)
Sparked by a proposed takeover bid for Santos (STO), led by Abu Dhabi National Oil Co’s international arm XRG and also involving private equity firm the Carlyle Group (mid-June), the sector has staged a stunning reversal of fortune. More recently, a modest improvement in the crude oil price, but a more marked improvement in metallurgical coal prices, has bolstered the likes of Woodside Energy (WDS), Whitehaven Coal (WHC), Yancoal Australia (YAL), and New Hope Corporation. Each has appeared in the Uptrends Scan List this week.
Measuring such trend reversals, even as sharp as this one, are part and parcel of a trend followers required skill set. Initially our goal is to manage our short-side risk, eventually moving to a neutral position, and as we can see now – moving back into longs. In my experience, the earlier one is in a new trend, the riskier the new trend tends to be. This doesn't mean we should avoid new-trend setups, simply that we must be aware of the risks and enter in a careful and measured way. As the trend builds, we will naturally find that exposures grow with new trade setups.
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!!!
