With the Aussie benchmark notching a third record high in the last four trading sessions on a total return basis, there was always going to be a good chance that today's Edition was going to be chockers-stuffed with Uptrends Scan List constituents, and by extension, Feature Uptrends.
What's great about today's +70 Uptrends Scan List and +30 Feature Uptrends is the diverse range of sectors they come from. A broad market rally tends to be a sustainable one.
But in even the best bull market, there are always a handful of stocks whose business models and management are just so terrible, or (let's provide an out here) the global economy and consumer trends have conspired so cruelly against them – that their charts present fantastic short selling opportunities. You'll find a sorry group of potential candidates to this end in today's Downtrends Scan Lists and Feature Downtrends.
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 is 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 – always do your own research.
