WestJet (WJA) 6-Month Daily Chart

Until WestJet holds for a couple of days above 33, I class the breakout as tentative. If it holds, we have a new support reference point. The reversal of roles from resistance to support is a important concept in technical analysis.

Reference my last chart analysis for WestJet published on October 23, 2014.
