Linamar Corp. (Friday’s close $58.07) traded above a rising trend-line for about two years from mid-2016 to mid-2018 (dotted line). The stock fell below this line and below its 40-week Moving Average (40wMA) in May of this year to signal the start of a down-trend (A).
Behaviour indicators including the falling 40wMA and the falling trend-line (solid line) confirm the negative status. The stock is currently in the midst of a minor recovery rally toward $65, but only a sustained rise above $70 would reverse the current negative trend.
After a recovery rally, Linamar could move toward lower targets.
