KEY POINTS

  • Interesting uptrends in today's Scans: Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC), Global X Uranium ETF (ATOM), Electro Optic Systems (EOS), Global X Silver ETF (ETPMAG), Evolution Mining (EVN), Vaneck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), Global X Gold ETF (GOLD).
  • Interesting downtrends in today's Scans: Australian Clinical Labs (ACL), Bapcor (BAP), Beach Energy (BPT), Domino's Pizza (DMP), Kogan.Com (KGN), Lendlease (LLC), New Hope Corp. (NHC), Nufarm (NUF), Perpetual (PPT), Sims (SGM), Treasury Wine Estates (TWE).

Evolution Mining (EVN), Newmont Corporation (NEM), Northern Star Resources (NST), Pantoro (PNR), Perseus Mining (PRU), Regis Resources (RRL), and the list goes on and on… As it has here for many, many months. Gold stocks are piping hot at the moment and some of these are up 20, 30, 50% or more since they first appeared here as a Feature Uptrend (i.e., highest conviction).

Then there’s silver stocks, like Andean Silver (ASL), Mithril Resources (MTH), and Sun Silver (SS1) – equally on fire – and similarly well performed since their first appearances here.

As for the appearances of critical minerals and uranium stocks, these are relatively more recent – but increasingly well represented. I note Dateline Resources (DTR) as one pick that I’m particularly proud of. It was first identified as a Feature Uptrend on the 6-May candle at a closing price of 3.7 cents – it has been featured 10 more times since – and is now nearly 10 times that price.

In uranium, Nexgen Energy (NXG) is today’s top pick – it’s up a tidy 23.5% since its Feature Uptrend appearance on the 16-June candle that closed at $10.74 (5 more features since then!).

But, hey – if you can’t decide which of the many dozens of strong uptrends that appear here in ChartWatch ASX Scans is the right

one on any particular day, then you might prefer the instant diversification that sector or commodity-based ETFs afford. I note the following that have appeared again today (and again, each is showing an excellent return since its first appearance):

  • Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ACDC)

  • Global X Uranium ETF (ATOM)

  • Global X Physical Silver ETF (ETPMAG)

  • Global X Physical Gold ETF (GOLD)

  • Vaneck Gold Miners ETF (GDX)

  • BetaShares Australian Small Co's ETF (SMLL)

  • Vaneck Australian Resources ETF (MVR)


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!!!
