In Tuesday morning’s market update, Stephen Whiteside from TheUpTrend.com reports that U.S. stock index futures are mixed, commodities and Bitcoin are trading lower, and no major economic data is expected due to the U.S. government closure. Crude oil remains weak, holding support near $56.25, while natural gas is back on a buy signal. Gold made a new intraday high but is giving back gains. Monday’s trading brought several short-term buy signals for the S&P 500 and the Vanguard Total Market ETF, though overall market direction remains range-bound. The VIX declined but stayed on a buy signal, while Bitcoin and related stocks like Hive faced renewed selling pressure.
In the U.S. most actives, Apple and Tesla helped lift the market, with Apple nearing its next target of $265.63. Other notable movers included Ford and Cleveland Cliffs, both gaining strength, while Plug Power and Reggetti sit on the edge of new sell signals. Canadian market leaders showed little change, with continued weakness in energy stocks like Suncor and Whitecap, and telecom giant TELUS remaining under pressure. Whiteside closes by reminding viewers to follow the trend and visit TheUpTrend.com for more insights on market timing.
