BCE 4 Year Candlestick Chart

This is not the first time I have posted a chart for BCE where I emphasized the most important principle of technical analysis: Always trade in the direction of the major trend. Is there any doubt about the major trend for BCE? The 200 Day SMA is a good approximation of the trendline.

Compare the above chart for BCE to the chart for the TSX Index.

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.

The 100-day moving  defines the trend line for BCE

Yes, it is definitely up. Defining the tend is the most important concept in technical analysis. You must always trade in the direction of the trend and jump aboard for the ride. Use candlesticks and other confirming indicators — moving averages, on balance volume and momentum indicators — to determine when it is time to exit the trade.  All the indicators will be reviewed in future posts using real time examples.  And, the objective of the site is to  keep-it-simple: anyone can complicate a topic.
