After a brutal beatdown from the politicians about pipelines, TransCanada Pipelines (TRP) stock has started to demonstrate a change in trend. From a continuous decline starting in September 2014 (near oil's high), TransCanada has recently made a 5-month high. With an SCTR ranking above 75, this is really starting to outperform its peers. One particularly strong trait is the new 6-month high in relative strength.
Currently, the 200 DMA is just above the price. If price moves through this moving average, the next level of resistance is up at $40 which is about 15% above the current price. The MACD is clearly soaring and marks a change in the momentum trend. A pullback into the mid $34 level makes an interesting entry point where a tight stop could be placed below.
