The are often themes that run through a particular day's Uptrends Scan List or Downtrends Scan List. Today, I noticed a large number of ETFs appearing. For those who are unawares of one of the fastest growing segments of the Australian financial services industry, an Exchange Traded Fund is an investment fund that trades on the ASX like a regular share, but which tracks an index (e.g., ASX 200), sector (e.g., resources), or asset class (e.g., bonds, gold).
ETF's are excellent tools for helping investors diversify their exposure at low cost via a single instrument and with the ease of buying and selling through a regular broker. Unlike managed funds, ETFs don’t require applications or redemptions – liquidity is provided via other investors and backed by market makers. In Australia, ETFs have grown rapidly as investors seek transparent, flexible, and tax-efficient ways to access domestic and global markets.
In today's ChartWatch ASX Scans I have noticed several small cap, Chinese / Asian equity, and battery / energy transition metals ETFs. These appear in keeping with the general themes running through individual stock selections, that is, you'll also find plenty of individual stocks in today's Uptrends Scan List that are likely constituents of many of the selected ETFs! (Except perhaps for the Chinese / Asian equities ETFs!).
So, investors have a choice of whether to build their own curated portfolio of strong uptrends, or to knock swathes of today's Uptrends Scan List on their heads by purchasing just a handful of corresponding ETFs.
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!!!
