One not so great day on the index and we're back to slim pickings in the Uptrends Scan List, and a swelling of credible short sell opportunities in the Downtrends Scan List. As Chrissy Amphlett of legendary 80's Aussie rock band The Divinyls once said, "It's a fine line between pleasure and pain".
The Uptrends lists features several interesting charts of small gold explorers in Ausgold (AUC), Koonenberry Gold (KNB), Trigg Minerals (TMG), Warriedar Resources (WA8) and WIA Gold (WIA). To be fair, TMG is more antimony-gold rather than just plain gold, but I couldn't figure out a concise way to fit the word "antimony" into today's title!
Looking at the charts of KNB and WA8 in particular, it could be argued they're beginning to go vertical. KNB was first run as a ChartWatch Feature Uptrend (i.e., highest conviction) on the 28 March candle (close price $0.045) and WA8 on the 25 March candle (close price $0.063).
Both have roughly doubled. Which brings us to the conundrum that trend following represents for most investors...the unavoidable question of: Am I too late? 🤔
I don't know how much is left in the run of either stock – because I cannot tell the future – yet I run them both as Feature Uptrends again today with exactly the same conviction I had for them on the first days they were respectively run. (A bit like the conviction I have for poor old Coronado Global Resources (CRN) – extending its record of Feature Downtrend appearances by +1!).
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!
