Spinning Top candlestick for the TSX Index

TSX Index Three-Year Weekly Candlestick Chart

The intermediate trend is down and the near-term trend is sideways: cash is king at this stage in the market. I am monitoring the support and resistance levels as indicated in the above chart. A break below the support level of 12,000 would be an indication to liquidate more of your long positions.

Reference the last chart analysis for the TSX index.

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.

The TSX Index must make a convincing (+2%) consecutive two-day close above 13,500 to set-up a test of major resistance at 14,300.

Reference the previous analysis for the TSX Index.

TSX Index in consolidation mode
Three year candlestick chart analysis of the tsx index showing support and resistance so you can trade online using these indicators to make your online trading decisions.

3-Year Chart of the TSX Index

Reference last weeks analysis which was also a consolidation story for the TSX Index. This is in stark contrast to the S&P 500 Index and the Nasdaq Composite Index which are in an uptrend.

Also reference the most recent analysis of the TSX  based on the daily candlestick chart which identified the possibility of  a double top.

When trading online, you always deal in probabilities.  And the probability of a downside correction is greater than an upside breakout.  It has been a good run for the TSX  Index.
