Suncor trading in a narrow congestion area

Key points to consider from the above daily candlestick chart:

• Trading in a narrow congesting area also known as a trading range of $34-$35.
• The near-term trend is sideways.
• The intermediate trend is up.
• The probability favors the continuation of the intermediate uptrend.
• Volume, OBV and RSI are confirming indicators.
• Look for increased volume and a breakout at $35 to add to long positions.
• A confirmed break below $34 would be reason to liquidate long positions.
• A time period to monitor for resolution of the congestion area is one to three months.
