Stantec Inc. rallied from about $14 in 2012 to $38 in 2014 (not shown) above its rising 40-week Moving Average (40wMA). Subsequently, it settled in a huge multiyear trading range mostly between $29 and $37 (dashed lines). The stock had a major breakout from this trading range at the beginning of this year and reached a high of $42.31 (A) but with the recent market weakness, the stock gave back all these gains as it fell to ±$31 (B).
However, Stantec found support near its rising 40wMA and appears to be resuming the up-trend (C). Only a decline below $32-33 would cancel the current up-side potential.
Point & Figure measurements provide targets of $46 and $49. Higher targets are visible.
