Take a look at the 1-year chart of Buckle (NYSE: BKE) below with my added notations:

BKE’s trend has been very simply a down one. However, over the past few months the stock has created a key level of resistance at $28 (green), which you can see was a key support back in November and December. A break above that $28 level should mean higher prices for the stock, and last week BKE finally broke that resistance.

The Tale of the Tape: BKE broke through its key level of resistance at $28. A long trade could be entered on a pull back down to that level. However, a break back below $28 could negate the forecast for a higher move and would be an opportunity to get short the stock.

Stocks Retesting the January Lows

North American markets found support in mid-January after three weeks of sharp declines. However, after a brief rebound, those key support levels are expected to be retested again in February.

The S&P 500 has bounced off of the 1860-1875 range three times in the last 6 months.

Now that the rebound rally has stalled and rolled-over, the index is expected to retest the support range again over the next week or two.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average bounced off of the 15,500-15,750 range in January, as it did last August.

With the recent roll-over, the Dow is now expected to pullback to those levels over the next few weeks.

NASDAQ has also rebounded from a previous low (4,292 in August) last month. We anticipate the index will retest the 4,300-4,400 band over the next few weeks.

For the TSX, the mid-term trend still remains down. The index has posted a series of lower lows and lower highs over the last 8 months.

The most recent trough in January, produced a short-term bounce that has now stalled and rolled-over.

We believe the Canadian index will retest the 11,900-12,000 zone again in the next few weeks.

Bottom line: The U.S. markets are expected to retest significant support levels over the next 1 to 2 weeks.

The TSX should also find underpinning at the mid-January support level.

Note: Should the indexes break these key support levels, the projected outlook would be another 8% decline below the key support levels.
