The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.4% last week, reaching new heights as investors remained cautiously optimistic about the economic landscape and potential progress in U.S.-China trade relations [2]. The index's Relative Strength Index (RSI) was at 67, nearing the overbought sell signal at 70, indicating a bullish sentiment among investors [5].

Enghouse Systems and North West Co were identified as oversold, while Paramount Resources, Spartan Delta, Dollarama, Gibson Energy, and Oceangold were overbought, suggesting potential trend reversals in these stocks [3]. The RSI's divergence from price action could signal a change in momentum, providing traders with opportunities to enter or exit positions [5].

Notably, 21 stocks hit new 52-week highs, including Fairfax Financial Holdings, Imperial Oil, Barrick Mining, Nutrien, and Arc Resources, reflecting strong performance in various sectors. Meanwhile, Ivanhoe Mines and Enghouse Systems hit new 52-week lows, indicating a challenging period for these companies [4].

The energy sector continued to lead gains, with Baytex Energy and Vermilion Energy rising significantly, driven by higher crude oil prices [1]. Consumer discretionary and technology stocks also performed well, with Dollarama and Celestica Inc. among the top gainers [2]. The consumer discretionary sector was up 2.25%, while the technology sector was up 1.53%, showcasing investor confidence in these sectors [2].

The S&P/TSX Composite Index reached a fresh record high of 26,586.76 earlier in the session, underscoring the strong performance of the Canadian market. However, the index retreated slightly, ending the session at 26,490.71, as the market digested recent developments [2].

In summary, the S&P/TSX Composite Index displayed mixed signals last week, with some stocks hitting new highs while others reached new lows. The RSI's near overbought level indicates a bullish sentiment, but potential trend reversals in oversold and overbought stocks provide opportunities for traders. Investors should remain vigilant and consider using technical analysis tools like the RSI to identify potential entry and exit points.
