TSX Index 6 Month Daily Chart

On Wednesday, the TSX Index reached a 52 week high and a tentative breakout above resistance of 12,900.

On Thursdays, the doji candlestick showed the indecision of traders.

On Friday, traders made their decision. The shaven bottom candlestick shows the sell-off on above average volume. This does not bode well for trading on Monday.

Technical Analysis: U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note

Monitor the resistance level of 1.70% and then 1.80%

U.S. Treasury 10-Year Note 3 Year Chart

Has a negative technical profile as indicated by the major trend which is sideways and intermediate trend which is down.

The yield would have to move above the resistance levels of 1.70% and 1.80% if the near-term rally in U.S. equities is to continue. This represents the movement of capital from the relative safety of the U.S. Treasury to U.S. equities. A sustained advance of the 10-Year yield to the 2.40% level would indicate the upward movement in commodity based indexes like Canada, Australia and Brazil as investors take on more risk.

NASDAQ Three-Year Weekly Candlestick Chart

The NASDAQ is still in a good position for another test of major resistance at 2,880. There needs to be an increase in volume and a convincing two-day close of around 2,940. This would indicate an intermediate target of 3,160.

TSX Index candlestick chart analysis

What is the downside risk for the TSX Index?

2-Year Candlestick Chart of the TSX Index

What are the key points from the above chart of the TSX?

  • There is the possibility of a double top at 14,300.
  • Major support on the weekly chart is 13,500. Reference the previous chart.
  • I use a two-day time filter and a 2% penetration rule based on the closing prices.
  • 13,500 will become resistance if the TSX closes below 13,500 using the above filters.
  • 13,200 (near the March 7 retracement of 13,250) would then become major support.
  • Using the above filters, a closing price of around 12,900 would confirm a double top.
  • The downside risk would then be around 12,200.
