Methanex Corp. (MX.TO) spent most of this year under distribution as shown by the steady downtrend of lower highs.

A major turnaround is underway in Methanex shares. For most of this year the shares had been under distribution, peaking at lower highs and completing a series of bearish patterns including a rare quadruple bottom. In the last few days, the shares have completely reversed course with the current high pole advance snapping a downtrend line, regaining $50.00, and completing a series of bullish pattern breakouts including a Spread Triple Top.

Based on horizontal counts, initial upside resistance appears near $55.85 and then $59.25, followed by the January peak near $61.65. Initial support appears near $47.65 based on a 3-box reversal.

With its bullish SMAX score increasing to 8, MX.TO is exhibiting strength against the asset classes.
