There is a tentative break of the intermediate support level
One Year Copper Chart
The intermediate trend for copper is sideways and the near-term trend is down. There was a tentative break of the $3.70 support level. In this case, I am using a 3% filter to confirm the break so I am looking for a close of $3.59 to move from tentative to confirmed.

I last charted the U.S. 10-Year Treasury on March 16, 2012 when it broke the resistance level of 2.10% on the weekly chart. The new support level is now 2.10%. Over the last two weeks it has been unable to break the major resistance level of 2.40%. You have these two key points to set your alerts.

Yes, the TSX Index has a negative technical profile. The intermediate trend is sideways as identified on the above daily candlestick chart. A confirmed break below 12,300 would be a warning to liquidate long positions.
Think about the major sectors in the TSX Index. The materials sector has a negative technical profile. The energy sector has a negative technical profile. Investors are taking money out of the hot REIT sector as rates slowly rise and on the news of subpar Canadian economic indicators. And the utilities are priced to perfection. And the two major telecos — BCE and Telus — had a nice run and are also priced to perfection. What is left? Some bank stocks like RBC moved upward over the past four months and the Lifecos are coming back from the dead but are still on life support.
Caution is advised especially with the news coming out of China about the actual or perceived slowdown.
Reference the last chart analysis of the TSX Index based on the weekly chart. This is a three year chart with the the 50 day, 100 day and 200 day simple moving averages. The TSX Index is holding just above the 200 day moving average. You will see the golden cross (50 day crossed above the 200 day) on this longer term chart but the the cross is a little tarnished at this stage.
Notice the similarities with the daily chart for copper? Yes, we are a resource based economy.

TSX Index Chart Analysis
The intermediate trend is still sideways and the near-term trend is up. The spinning top candlestick represents indecision and that about sums up the mood for the TSX Index as it enters the third week of trading for 2012.
