Channel Breakers: For the Week Ending August 23, 2019

Our Channel Breakers weekly report features all of the Canadian stocks that broke above or broke below their respective price-channels, using weekly closing prices from technical charts provided courtesy of theUpTrend.com. These charts are appropriate for use by intermediate-term investors.

COMMENT: It must be the summer doldrums because there were only 6 stocks that broke above their respective upper channel lines with positive momentum and only 10 stocks that dropped out of their respective channels with negative momentum. Stocks generally moved sideways Monday through Thursday, then collapsed after taking into account Jay Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, Trump’s anti-China tweets, and China’s tariff retaliation. All of this negative global political rhetoric is unnerving the markets.
