Key levels for holders
Breakout Level confirms hold | Friday close above $303.25 | +1.9% | top of R1 (high 05-07, high 05-26) |
Profit-Taking Zone rebalance if overweight | $308.53–317.48 | +3.7% to +6.7% | 20-day SMA, LH 09-15, high 06-17 |
Trade Breakdown review thesis, no trade | Friday close below $291.29 | -2.1% | 40-wk SMA 291.29 |
Trend Breakdown trim/sell if story weakened | Friday close below $279.52 | -6.1% | trend stop; next support $278.09–278.09 |
If broken, then…
Trade Breakdown (Friday close < $291.29): review the thesis (earnings, estimates, guidance). No trade yet.
Trend Breakdown (Friday close < $279.52): trim or exit if the fundamental story has also weakened; RS is already lagging the S&P/TSX, so the opportunity-cost case for exiting is stronger. Next support $278.09–278.09.
Sluymer's view: Agrees. Last named Sep 15: “BBD.B remains in a correction but is showing early signs of bottoming near support at its rising red 200-day ma” (CB Sep 15).
Watch this week: Fri Oct 16: a Friday close ≥ $324.85 (+9.2%) lifts RS vs the S&P/TSX off Est. Down; a Friday close below $291.29 is the Trade Breakdown.

Notes & caveats
Benchmarks: S&P/TSX Composite (20 pts) and ZIN (10 pts). Trading items and bands use the Fri, Oct 9, 2026 close; trend uses the Fri, Oct 9 week. Holder levels: Breakout = top of R1; Profit-Taking = next resistance band above it; Trade Breakdown = 40-wk SMA if between Trend Breakdown and price (or already broken), else the S1 floor; Trend Breakdown = trend stop (S2 floor). Class B shares mapped to BBD-B.TO (Sluymer: BBD.B). Sector proxy ZIN (BMO equal-weight industrials); no iShares TSX industrials ETF. 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 Coppock = 10-bar WMA of ROC(14)+ROC(11), standard settings used as a placeholder because his are unpublished; DAS is omitted.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. Data: Yahoo Finance (unadjusted); weight from the Portfolio Dashboard (PIM 10/09 EOD, read-only).
