The S&P/TSX Composite Index rose for the shortened trading week ending Friday, with its Relative Strength Index climbing above the traditional overbought threshold. This movement indicates significant upward momentum across the broader Canadian equities landscape. The RSI, a common technical indicator, measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes and helps identify whether a stock may be overbought. This data contributes to understanding the most overbought and oversold stocks on the S&P/TSX Composite Index this week.
Stocks with RSI Below Typical Threshold
Only two companies on the S&P/TSX Composite Index currently exhibit RSI values below the traditional level, often monitored for indications of downward price momentum.
Waste Connections Inc. (TSE:WCN), part of the industrial sector, has experienced a notable decline in RSI, reflecting recent downward price activity. Similarly, North West Co Inc. (TSE:NWC), operating within the consumer staples segment, is showing an RSI below the standard lower threshold.
These two names are the only components within the benchmark index that fall into this category, suggesting limited downward momentum across the broader market.

A significantly larger group of companies within the S&P/TSX Composite Index displays RSI levels above the commonly accepted overbought limit. Among them, five companies stand out for their elevated technical readings.
Bombardier Inc. (TSE:BBD.B), which is part of the industrials segment and listed on the S&P/TSX Completion Index, leads the list, indicating strong recent performance. Rogers Communications Inc. (TSE:RCI.B), a key player in the communication services sector, also appears with a high RSI reading, pointing to significant recent price momentum.
Exchange Income Corp. (TSE:EIF), H&R Real Estate Investment Trust (TSE:HR.UN), and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSE:TD), one of Canada’s major financial institutions, round out the top five companies with elevated RSI levels.
Top Companies Hitting New Highs
A group of fourteen companies achieved new twelve-month highs this week, highlighting continued upward price trends in various sectors. These companies are ranked by market capitalization, and several prominent names stand out.
Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSE:TD) and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSE:CM), both listed on the S&P/TSX 60 Index, hit new highs, reinforcing the strong performance within the financials segment. AtkinsRéalis Group Inc. (TSE:ATRL), Bombardier Inc. (TSE:BBD), and Element Fleet Management Corp. (TSE:EFN) also reached new price peaks during the same period.
No Stocks Reaching New Lows
Notably, no companies on the S&P/TSX Composite Index reported new twelve-month lows this week, further emphasizing the upward tilt in broader market sentiment.
