Shoppers Drug Mart breaks technical resistance at $40 on this candlestick chart.

TradeOnline.ca featured Shoppers on February 6 and highlighted the first bullish white candlestick  that developed on above average volume. Above average volume is a confirming indicator and is the fuel that drives the upward trend. The $40 level is now support and the stock must hold above this point for the trend to continue.

Shoppers Drug Mart will meet heavy resistance at $42. You can identify this point on the 3-year weekly chart.

Shoppers was upgraded from hold to buy on February 11 and the price target was raised to $43 from $39.
