This morning’s market update from Stephen Whiteside at TheUpTrend.com highlights a mixed pre-market session with stock index futures steady while crude oil, Bitcoin, and gold trade lower. Following a relatively calm Fed day, earnings remain in focus — with Alphabet trading higher and Meta sharply lower in early trading. Whiteside reviews market strength across major indices, noting that good stocks continue trending higher, while underperforming names like Procter & Gamble, Visa, and Constellation Software show weakness below the FlyPaper channel.
The analysis emphasizes following strong stocks in uptrends while avoiding those diverging from market momentum. Whiteside also reviews the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq 100 — celebrating winners like Caterpillar and Teradyne while cautioning about steep declines in FI and Verisk. With the VIX still subdued, he reminds traders to lock in profits as indexes hit targets and to stay focused on trend direction. The session closes with a reminder that timing and trend remain essential for success in the stock market.
