US Government Bond 10 Year Yield Weekly Candlestick Chart

The 10-year Treasury bond is one of the most widely watched securities as it sets the benchmark for almost every other interest rate in the U.S. economy, from the cost of financing corporate debt and mortgages to credit card balances.

This chart does not show any confidence in the near-term growth prospects for the US economy. Nor does it show any confidence in the ability or will of the EEC to solve the Greek debt crisis.

Harami Pattern for the TSX Index
Harami candlestick pattern on the weekly chart of the TSX index indicates the TSX could ease into a congestion band between support of 12,000 and resistance of 12,500

Three-Year Weekly Chart for the TSX Index

We may have a bottom in the recent sell-off but the intermediate trend is still down. Cash is king in this market.

Reference the previous analysis of the TSX Index for the downside risk if the index cannot hold the 12,000 and 11,500 support levels.

TSX Index Three-Year Weekly Chart

The intermediate trend and the near-term trend are both down in the above candlestick chart.

Reference the most recent weekly chart of the TSX Index for September 23, 2011. The TSX Index did not hold the 12,000 support level. The 12,000 level is now resistance on the current chart. The reversal of roles from support to resistance or resistance to support is an important concept in technical analysis.
