4 min read | July 17, 2026 09:39 AM AEST | By Sam

Highlights

  • AMP and Credit Corp featured among the strongest technical uptrends in the latest ChartWatch scan.
  • Brazilian Rare Earths, Electro Optic Systems, PMET Resources and Southern Cross Gold remained under technical selling pressure.
  • Technical momentum continues to separate ASX leaders from laggards as traders monitor trend strength across the ASX 200.

AMP Limited (ASX:AMP) has emerged as one of the stronger technical performers in the latest ChartWatch scan, while several resource and technology names remained under persistent selling pressure. The latest technical review highlighted a clear divergence across Australian equities, with financials and selected industrials continuing to outperform as speculative resource stocks and technology names struggled to regain momentum.

Uptrend leaders continue building momentum

The latest ChartWatch scan identified several companies maintaining constructive technical trends.

Among the standout names were AMP, Credit Corp Group (ASX:CCP) and Australian Clinical Labs (ASX:ACL), with all three highlighted as the strongest feature charts within the day's uptrend list.

The broader uptrend scan also included Commonwealth Bank (ASX:CBA), Wesfarmers (ASX:WES), Pinnacle Investment Management (ASX:PNI), PYC Therapeutics (ASX:PYC), Sonic Healthcare (ASX:SHL), W.H. Soul Pattinson (ASX:SOL), Fletcher Building (ASX:FBU), Cauldron Energy (ASX:CXU), Havilah Resources (ASX:HAV) and the iShares Global 100 ETF (ASX:IOO).

Financial stocks remained well represented, suggesting buying interest continues to favour higher-quality earnings and established businesses.

AMP remains one of the strongest technical setups

AMP featured prominently among the strongest charts identified during the session.

The wealth manager has continued attracting technical interest as buying momentum strengthened, placing it among the day's preferred uptrend candidates based on ChartWatch's trend-following methodology.

While technical momentum does not predict future performance, sustained price strength often attracts increased attention from market participants monitoring established trends.

Credit Corp also attracts attention

Credit Corp remained another financial stock highlighted for positive technical characteristics.

The company continues reflecting relative strength within consumer finance, joining AMP among the session's most constructive chart structures according to the latest technical review.

Australian Clinical Labs completed the featured uptrend group as healthcare shares continued displaying selective resilience.

Selling pressure remains concentrated

The latest downtrend scan identified a significantly broader group of stocks remaining under technical pressure.

Among the most closely watched were Brazilian Rare Earths (ASX:BRE), Electro Optic Systems (ASX:EOS), PMET Resources (ASX:PMT), Southern Cross Gold (ASX:SX2), Audinate Group (ASX:AD8), Larvotto Resources (ASX:LRV), Metcash (ASX:MTS), NexGen Energy (ASX:NXG) and Silex Systems (ASX:SLX).

These companies were highlighted as the strongest examples of ongoing technical weakness during the session.

Resource stocks remain mixed

Several resource companies continued appearing across the downtrend list despite ongoing interest in commodities.

Names including Deep Yellow (ASX:DYL), Elevra Lithium (ASX:ELV), Wildcat Resources (ASX:WC8), Strike Energy (ASX:STX), Sun Silver (ASX:SS1), Saturn Metals (ASX:STN) and Polymetals Resources (ASX:POL) reflected the uneven technical backdrop across the mining sector.

The divergence illustrates that company-specific momentum continues outweighing broader commodity themes.

Technical analysis highlights market leadership

Trend-following approaches focus on identifying stocks displaying sustained buying or selling momentum rather than forecasting future prices.

Strong trends often remain intact for extended periods, while weaker charts may continue under pressure until market sentiment changes.

The latest scan demonstrated that leadership remains concentrated within selected financials and defensive businesses, while several speculative sectors continue facing technical headwinds.

Investors following momentum-based strategies often monitor ASX Technical Analysis developments to identify emerging leadership and weakening trends across Australian equities.

Technical trends remain highly dynamic and can change quickly as market conditions evolve.

Future attention is likely to remain on whether current leaders such as AMP and Credit Corp can extend their positive momentum, while Brazilian Rare Earths, Electro Optic Systems, PMET Resources and Southern Cross Gold attempt to stabilise following recent selling pressure.
