TSX Index 6-Month Candlestick chart

This is the second close this week above resistance of 12,500. Now there has to be follow-through on the bullish shaven head candlestick if the the TSX Index is to hold above resistance. Then there will be a new support level (reversal of roles) of 12,500 and an increased probability for the index to test major resistance of 12,800. As you can see from the above candlestick chart, the TSX Index has struggled to breakout above resistance of 12,500 since September, 2012 and I could go back further on the weekly chart where 12,500 was a significant resistance point.

What is the trend for the TSX Index? The near-term trend is up, the intermediate trend is up and the major trend is sideways.

TSX Index is struggling at resistance of 12,200
TSX Index candlestick chart analysis showing the index struggling to break resistance of 12,200

TSX Index 6-Month Daily Candlestick Chart

What can I prognosticate from the above chart? As I have said in the past, it is not a pretty picture for the TSX Index: a gain this year of 0% compared to a gain of 12% for the S&P 500 Index. And a three year gain of 6.7% for the TSX Index compared to gain of 28.9% for the S&P 500 Index.

If the TSX Index can break resistance of 12,200 then it moves into the old trading range with resistance at 12,500. A resolution of the so-called fiscal cliff would be the fundamental news to give a lift for the TSX as traders would move into some of the risk-on trades: oil and materials. But, you have the Eurozone slipping into a recession, tepid growth in the BRIC countries, Iran, and crude price differentials for Canadian producers. And these are just some of the known knowns.

The experts will give you their expert projections for the major indexes. In the end, all you can do is follow the charts when you trade online. Use tight stops on any breakout positions. And, a comfortable cash position will let you have a comfortable sleep. On Friday, the U.S.employment report will move the markets.

TSX Index YTD Daily Bar Chart

The reversal of roles is an important concept in technical analysis: old support becomes resistance when it is breached and old resistance becomes support on a breakout. In the above chart, you can see the TSX Index struggling to break resistance at 12,200 which was support in the old trading range. Even if we get a breakout at 12,200 I will dust off my old charts detailing the old trading range of 12,500 to 12,200. The TSX had a dismal three year performance and the risk profile is still to the downside.

TSX Index YTD Daily Chart

A break below support of 12,200 would indicate the start of a near-term downtrend. I would look for support around the 50% retracement zone of 11,900. A break below 11,900 would indicate a test of the 66% retracement zone around 11,700. A break below 11,700 would indicate a test of support on the weekly chart around 11,500. A break below 11,500 would indicate a full retracement of the move from the June low around 11,300. After that, I will have to dust off some of my older charts indicating the major support level of 11,000. An index or stock can fall from its own weight even in the absence of above average volume on the sell-off.
