Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (Friday’s close $14.90) rose from $8.59 in mid-2015 to $14.35 in mid-2017 (A-B) and then stayed in a horizontal trading range mostly between $12.25 and $14.40 for a year and a half (dashed lines).
The recent move above the top of the range suggests a breakout (C); a sustained rise above ±$15.00 would confirm it and signal the start of a new up-leg toward higher targets.
?
Behaviour indicators including the rising 40wMA and the rising trend-line (solid line) confirm the bullish potential. There is good support near ±$14; only a sustained decline below ±$13.50 would be negative.
Point & Figure measurements provide targets of $16 and $18. Higher targets are visible.
