Small business investments expanded as selling pressure persists

TELUS has announced the return of its #StandWithOwners small business competition for a seventh consecutive year, with nearly CAD 7 million invested since 2020 to support Canadian entrepreneurs with capital, technology, and greater exposure. The company has also expanded this initiative through new partnerships with Google, Salesforce, Samsung, and Scotiabank, increasing access to advanced technology and business networks for small business clients. Further, TELUS introduced a Biodiversity Position & Action Plan, combining innovative technologies and Indigenous partnerships to focus on ecosystem protection efforts, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum signals as price nears session lows and tight range

The current technical setup shows TELUS trading just above the SMA-20 at C$17.22 and SMA-50 at C$17.23, while the SMA-200 remains higher at C$19.20. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at C$17.13, acting as immediate support for the session. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD on the daily timeframe stays in buy mode, ADX is neutral at subdued levels, and both RSI and CCI remain on buy signals. The Stoch RSI warns of overbought conditions at 100, and intraday BBP indicates persistent buyer dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and confirms a mild bullish bias. Price action for the session has been confined to a narrow range, with the current price near the session low.

Limited upside prospects as volatility defines trading boundaries

TELUS is expected to trade between C$17.10 and C$17.85 in the coming five sessions, a range reflecting typical volatility relative to current levels. With just one of four weekly indicators showing a buy signal, the likelihood of near-term upside is very low — less than 20% based on available signals. The base scenario points to stable sideways movement between support at C$17.10 and resistance at C$17.85. A break above the upper bound could open the way for retests of higher resistance, but a drop below C$17.10 would confirm further short-term weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees TELUS as technically weak and struggling to reclaim upside momentum. He notes that company initiatives like SME support and ESG push have not shifted near-term sentiment, with price action stuck below long-term resistance. The range remains limited, and key indicators show mixed signals with little bullish confirmation. "Base case remains rangebound between C$17.10 and C$17.85 — I stay cautious until the upper boundary breaks decisively."

Earlier, analysts noted that TELUS shares were experiencing rangebound trading amid moderate momentum and persistent selling pressure. The latest technical signals and ongoing corporate initiatives continue to support a cautious stance, with potential volatility emerging should the share price move decisively beyond either the C$17.10 support or the C$17.85 resistance.
