In today's update, Stephen Whiteside from TheUpTrend.com highlighted a bearish start to Thursday morning, with stock index futures and commodities trading lower pre-market. Significant economic data is expected at 8:30 AM, which could alter market direction. Notably, gold, which was up $8.80 yesterday, dropped $34 pre-market, maintaining a sell signal. The Bank of Canada’s rate cut didn't help the TSX, potentially triggering a sell signal. The VIX remains on a buy signal, indicating bearish sentiment, while bear ETFs showed substantial gains. Key stocks like Tesla and Crowdstrike continued their downward trend, affecting their respective ETFs, with Tesla notably down over 12%. The analysis also covered notable movements in the TSX, including stocks like Royal Bank, TD Bank, and Shopify, which are at critical points relative to their moving averages and channel lines. In the US market, stocks such as Ford, AT&T, and Bausch showed varied performances, with Bausch facing unexpected bankruptcy rumors. Advanced Micro Devices and Palantir hit new lows, while other major stocks like Apple and Alphabet continued their decline. Overall, the market shows bearish tendencies, but upcoming economic reports might influence the day's trajectory.
