Should that occur, measured moves suggest potential upside resistance may appear near $35.00, then the $40.00 round number. Initial support appears at the $30.00 breakout point then the bottom of a recent gap near $28.00.
Since peaking back in May, Teck Resources (TECK.B.TO) shares had been drifting sideways to downward through the summer.

Initial upside resistance appears at the May high near $31.85, followed on trend by $33.45, $36.60 and $37.70, all of which are based on vertical counts from previous advances. Initial support appears in the $28.85 to $30.00 zone where a 3-box reversal, a round number and recent breakout points converge.
With its bullish SMAX score increasing to 9, TECK.B.TO is exhibiting strength against the asset classes.
