We had these stocks that were growing off of AI, and they've been delivering spectacular growth. But they've also had spectacular increases in share prices, which becomes a potential source of volatility.
The question is whether valuations are too high given projected growth? As we've seen here, some of the price adjustments can be pretty abrupt.
The volatility/uncertainty could continue for quite some time. What was really interesting was that as ceasefires were announced, the price of oil went down a lot more than the price of gasoline. Seems to indicate that the market was pricing in a certain amount of risk at the downstream end -- despite any movements in crude oil, the gasoline that is traded for use was indicating that it's not all sunshine and rainbows.
Crude oil probably overshot too much to the downside, now it's come back around $80, and we'll see where it goes from here.
Between February and April, looks to have put in a double bottom. Now in sideways trading range, appears to be bottoming out. Encouraging so far. Support seems in $2600-2700 range. Resistance probably $3000 to start; above that would be more a sign that a recovery trend is underway.
Hasn't aggressively turned up yet. Consolidating. So far, so good.
RSI in the "red zone", lower half of the Canadian stock universe. Climbed above $28, sitting below resistance of $35. If it broke out over $35, that would be huge and signal an uptrend.
Building a base for now. That's where legging into a stock in tranches makes sense. You manage both your price and your risk. If it breaks out, you can accelerate your buying; if it goes the other way, you can pull out.
