Trade Breakdown (40-wk SMA; Friday close < $63.66): review the thesis (earnings, estimates, guidance). No trade yet.
Trend Breakdown (reference only) (Friday close < $63.38): no verdict impact; reassess if the story has also weakened. Next support $62.62–63.30.
Sluymer's view: Partly agrees. Last named Sep 8: “L is again rallying from short-term oversold levels near key support and stop loss level at 60” (CB Sep 8).
Watch this week: Fri Nov 6: a Friday close ≥ $63.43 (-8.5%) keeps RS vs the S&P/TSX at Est. Up or better; a Friday close below the 40-wk SMA $63.66 is the Trade Breakdown.

Notes & caveats
Benchmarks: S&P/TSX Composite (20 pts) and XST (10 pts). Trading items and bands use the Tue, Nov 3, 2026 close; trend uses the Fri, Oct 30 week. Holder levels (simple S/R: 40-wk SMA, 200-day SMA, 50%/61.8% retracements, 2-yr weekly swings and prior breakouts, ATH; ≥2 tools within 3% per band): Breakout = top of R1; Profit-Taking = next band above it, else the ATH, else none (blue sky); Trade Breakdown = the 40-wk SMA (Friday close below it = flag, verdict REVIEW); Trend Breakdown (S2 floor) and Profit-Taking are reference only and do not change the verdict. Trend Score (8–16 wk) = relative strength (30 pts) + structure (30 pts) rescaled to 100: Up ≥ 60, Neutral 45–59, Down < 45, confirmed after two consecutive Friday closes; descriptive, not a forecast. Sector proxy XST (iShares TSX capped consumer staples). Rates modifier uses the US 10-yr (Sluymer's global rate gauge). Coppock = 10-bar WMA of ROC(14)+ROC(11), standard settings used as a placeholder because his are unpublished; DAS is omitted. Zone = sign + 3-yr percentile; direction = 2 bars. SMAs are simple; swings are 5-bar extremes; the channel is a 2-yr log regression ±2σ. The breadth proxy is the % of ~210 current S&P/TSX Composite members (dashboard universe) with a rising weekly Coppock, in the spirit of his TSX Quadrant Balance; survivorship bias; regime input only. Weights are our choices (playbook §10); the state rule matched 86% / 83% of his sector states in-sample.
