Canada Market Round-Up
The S&P/TSX Composite Index ended the previous week on a weak note, declining 3.76% to close at 31,317.41, extending its cautious tone into March 20, 2026. Despite the broader weakness, selective strength was observed across key sectors such as basic materials, technology, consumer non-cyclicals, industrials, energy, healthcare, financials, consumer cyclicals, real estate, and utilities, indicating a gradual improvement in investor risk appetite. From a technical perspective, the index continues to exhibit a negative short-term outlook. However, it remains comfortably above a rising trendline support and the 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), reinforcing the broader bullish structure and suggesting sustained buying interest during market pullbacks. Immediate resistance is placed near the 32,600 level, where a decisive breakout could pave the way for further upside momentum. On the downside, strong support is seen around 31,200; a sustained move below this level may trigger a short-term corrective phase. The weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently at 52.86, continues to signal healthy bullish momentum within the broader trend.
On the macro front, the upcoming major economic events that may impact the Canadian market sentiment include CA Flash Manufacturing PMI, US Revised UoM Consumer Sentiment and US Unemployment Claims.

If this positive trend persists over the next two to four weeks, the stock may attempt to retest its immediate resistance near CAD 12.80. A decisive breakout above the CAD 13.80 level would confirm the continuation of the broader uptrend and could open the door for further near-term gains, reinforcing the constructive technical outlook.
Technical Analysis (On the Daily Chart)
On the daily chart, the 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 40.67 indicates stabilising momentum, with scope for further upside as buying interest gradually strengthens. Weekly trading volumes remain consistently firm, reinforcing this outlook through steady investor participation and healthy market activity. However, CAS continues to trade below its 50-period Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is acting as a key dynamic resistance level.
