Canadian cannabis producer Tilray declined all the way down to the $95 mark, where the support held perfectly and Tilray managed to bounce up by 10.40 percent. If it breaks the trendline resistance of the falling wedge pattern, this would be a very bullish confirmation and it would most likely result in an uptrend all the way up to $135-$150 range, where Tilray finds its next resistance. Having said that, Tilray’s support between $99.58 and $95 remains intact.

Aurora Cannabis (NYSE: ACB)

Aurora Cannabis Inc. dropped by 20.90 percent, down to $4.71, which was slightly below the support levels. Although the support seemed to be broken for a short period of time, it resulted in a quick recovery of almost 26 percent. Thus, the support zone between $5.15 and $5.65 is still valid and with the current price at $5.75, Aurora finds its support slightly below. With the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicating bullish divergences, the price will most likely increase even further. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) performed a bullish crossover which might result in a retest of the resistance between $7.76 and $8.42.

Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC)

Canopy faced rejection at the resistance at $35, which resulted in a heavy price drop of 20.30 percent. However, the trendline support succeeded to hold and the price quickly recovered by 16.19 percent. With it sitting at $31.40, Canopy is between the support and resistance and, due to the fact that the RSI is showing bullish divergences while the MACD performed a bullish crossover, the price will most likely re-test the resistance between $35 and $36.

Cronos had a fantastic week. It surged by almost 64 percent until it faced rejection at the resistance at $14.15. With the RSI indicating overbought regions, we might see a correction down to the prior resistance, with now acts as a strong support between $8.83 and $9.86.
