In today’s premarket video, Stephen Whiteside of TheUpTrend.com reviews Wednesday’s trading activity ahead of a quiet Thursday session, as U.S. markets close early for the July 4th holiday. He cautions against making decisions in thinly traded markets and explains how Black Swan events can be detected through moves outside the average true range. While market volatility remains subdued, the VIX indicators show mild bullishness, suggesting limited risk appetite among options traders.
Stephen analyzes key North American indices and ETFs, noting new highs in TSX 60, SPY, and major stocks like Apple, Magna, and Micro. He also highlights sharp moves in Bombardier and Albemarle, as well as reversals in Waste Connections and BlackBerry. The video wraps with insights on TSX and Wall Street’s most active stocks, and a reminder to enjoy the long weekend, with a full update scheduled for Saturday.
