Will the TSX index hold major support?

Still an ominous chart pattern for the TSX index

Reference the previous analysis of the TSX Index.

Reference my chart settings for Bigcharts and practice using candlesticks with the confirming indicators.

Update for June 11, 2011: TSX index did not hold major support.  Time to reference the previous weekly chart analysis for the TSX which highlights the downside risk.  Obviously, a relatively high cash position—above 50%—is prudent at this stage in the market.

If the U.S. economy doesn’t rebound solidly, if the European debt crisis worsens, or if China, India or Brazil hits a more-serious speed bump, it will come as a nasty shock to a lot of people, and could send stocks down a lot lower.

What was the reaction on the chart to the earnings release for BCE?

BCE Daily Candlestick Chart

It is very important to evaluate the reaction on the chart to a earnings release or company announcement: this is the only thing that counts.

What are the key points on the above chart?

  • Tall bullish white candlestick in reaction to the results.
  • Above average volume for the candlestick is confirming the uptrend.
  • On Balance Volume (OBV) is confirming the move.
  • Relative Strength Index (RSI) is confirming the move.
  • RSI is overbought but this is normal on a fast upward move.
  • $38.00 is near-term resistance

Based on the chart, I have an intermediate target of $40.00 for BCE. Investors are moving money into stable dividend paying utilities, and BCE has a very attractive yield.

Reference the previous chart analysis for BCE based on the daily chart. And reference the previous analysis based on the weekly chart.
