Intermediate trend is down for Canadian Natural Resources
There was a bullish candlestick on July 17 but the intermediate trend is still down. There must be a confirmed breakout above the downward sloping trendline for the near-term uptrend to continue. CNQ will first meet resistance in the $28.00 to $28.50 price zone. A breakout above the trendline will see CNQ meet resistance at the June high of $29.00 and major resistance on the weekly chart in the $30.00 price zone.
