Back to the old trading range
TSX Index chart analysis showing the index back to the old lateral trading range.

TSX Index 1 Year Daily Bar Chart

Reference the last chart analysis for the TSX Index posted on Wednesday, July 4, 2012 when the index was trading above the lateral trading band. It was a short reprieve.

The TSX Index has not recovered from the correction that started in March, 2011.There were many technical indicators warning of that correction. Did you recognize the warning signals? I published a number of charts highlighting the warning signals. Did you heed the warnings by liquidating longs, moving into defensive sectors or by shorting the index? The following are some samples from the posts:

Posted March 13, 2011: TSX at an advanced stage in this intermediate swing.

Posted September 26, 2011:There were many early indicators for the 19.6% correction in the TSX Index.
