The TSX Index could not hold support of 12,600 in the old lateral trading range. Will the near-term downtrend stop at the support level of 12,300? If not, the TSX will move down to the support level of 12,000.

Should you invest in the TSX? The above chart is your answer. Now take a look at another chart.

The chart pattern today (Monday, April 15) indicates caution but the intermediate trend is still up until there is a confirmed break below the intermediate trendline. This is near the support zone of 1530 to 1540.

There are three trends to consider for any index or stock: up, down or sideways. And there are three time frames to consider for a trend: near-term trend, intermediate trend and major trend.
