Candlestick Chart

In looking at the attached candlestick chart of CCO.TO, we see the shares trend upwards from the Spring of 2020 up until June of 2024 when the shares hit the mid $75 range. A sharp pullback ensued from that point until early September of last year when the shares found a floor at the $50 area. After that, the shares charged upwards again establishing a new high before bumping its head at the $87 level back last December. Another sharp pullback ensued but the shares found a floor once again at the $50 area earlier last month.

Currently the shares are charging upwards and are quickly approaching the $87 celling which will act as important resistance. It will be interesting to see if the shares can break above this upcoming resistance level and establish a new upleg. Support can be found at the $75 area which was the prior high back in June of 2024.
