TSX Index in a consolidation pattern with resistance at 12,500

I am looking for a confirmed breakout above the resistance level of 12,500. I use both a price filter and time filter to confirm a breakout. In this case, the price filter is +1% and the time filter is two days.

Reference the last chart analysis for the TSX Index.
