Following last yearās stock market collapse, SNC Lavalin (SNC.TO) spent the rest of 2020 stuck in a sideways trading range between $17.50 and $26.50.

The shares have climbed to within striking distance of their early 2020 peak near $34.25 where a breakout would complete a long base-building process that started back at the summer 2019 downtrend trough.

Initial support appears near the $30.00 round number, then the 50-day average near $27.50.
