Canadian Stocks Plunge To 2-Year Lows

Canadian stocks are down 15% from their highs in 2008 (and down 18% from the 2014 highs) as the blowback from a collapsing energy market ripples across the entire "not unequivocally good" economy.

1-year chart of ROVI (NASDAQ: ROVI)
ROVI has been in a downtrend for most of 2015. However, over the past 4 months the stock has created an important resistance level to watch at $12 (red). As you can see on the chart above, ROVI has tested that level several times as resistance, while also testing it as support back in July. A break above that $12 level should lead to higher prices for the stock.

The Tale of the Tape: ROVI has a key level of resistance at $12. A long trade could be entered on a break through that level. However, if you are bearish on the stock, a short trade could be made on any rallies up to $12.
