\n\tRio Tinto<\/font><\/u><\/p>\n \n\t \n\tRIO is back to where it was 12 months ago. In that time it has traded as high as $72 and as low as $49. When the downtrend started 18 months ago, it was nearly as high as $90. Particularly since May, RIO has really struggled to go anywhere thanks to a rush to high yielding defensive stocks and a collapse in the iron ore price. In the last few days we have seen RIO test a key level of resistance and break through it. Provided that it can hold here (and the recent move is not a false break), we can now feel much more comfortable that the downside in RIO has been contained, and we can start looking for opportunities to buy it. I can see that the 18 month downtrend has possibly ended now with a “reverse head and shoulders” pattern having developed. Initially this type of move can see the stock rally up towards $69 – $70. This also happens to be a full 50% retracement<\/span> of the 18 month downtrend, which is where a stock will often find resistance. \n\tContent included in this article is not by association necessarily the view of FNArena<\/span> (see our disclaimer<\/a>).<\/em> \n\tAfter leaving Macquarie Bank's Securities Group in 2008 after many years of service, Michael has gained a highly regarded reputation in the financial services industry.
