Trend Breakdown trim/sell if story weakened | Friday close below $89.72 | -7.6% | trend stop; next support $86.88–88.03 |
If broken, then…
Trade Breakdown (Friday close < $93.24): review the thesis (earnings, estimates, guidance). No trade yet.
Trend Breakdown (Friday close < $89.72): trim or exit if the fundamental story has also weakened; RS is still leading the S&P/TSX, so favour a trim over a full exit. Next support $86.88–88.03.
Sluymer's view: No direct call. Not named in the 15 reports. Sector: “Metals (FCX) and Steels (STLD) have pulled back to support and are beginning to bottom” (CB Oct 6).
Watch this week: Fri Oct 16: a Friday close ≥ $90.28 (-7.0%) keeps RS vs the S&P/TSX at Est. Up or better; a Friday close below $93.24 is the Trade Breakdown.
APPENDIX · TECK.B (TSX) · SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION OF SLUYMER-STYLE METHOD — NOT SLUYMER'S OWN CALLHeld-card Trade Breakdown level = floor of first-support band S1 (93.24); the 40-wk SMA 82.98 is below the trend breakdown level, so it can't be the Trade Breakdown.

Notes & caveats
Benchmarks: S&P/TSX Composite (20 pts) and XMA (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 TECK-B.TO. 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 Coppock = 10-bar WMA of ROC(14)+ROC(11), standard settings used as a placeholder because his are unpublished; DAS is omitted.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.
