Banks on both sides of the border have been climbing and moving up in the relative strength rankings this week heading into the start of US Bank Earnings Week on Friday. Yesterday, CIBC* (CM.TO) returned to the Green Favored Zone of the SIA S&P/TSX Composite Index Report from a short dip into the yellow zone. Yesterday it finished in 51st place, up 5 spots on the day and up 16 positions in the last month.
A strong advance in the first part of 2021 for CIBC* (CM.TO) faded over the summer months and by December, the technicals were starting to look pretty bleak when the shares dropped below $140.00 support.

Since retaking their 50-day moving average, the shares havenāt looked back, retaking $150.00 and then breaking through $152.00 to a new all-time high, completing a bullish Ascending Triangle pattern and signaling the start of a new upleg.
Measured moves from recent trading ranges suggest next potential upside resistance tests appear near $162.00 then $168.00 on trend. Initial support moves up to the $150.00 round number from the 50-day average near $146.00.
