Financials Could Be Breaking Out
Financials have been in the doghouse since Silicon Valley Bank failed in March, but now there could be signs of improvement.
The first pattern on today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector ETF is the falling trendline that began early last year. XLF’s rally through July battled against that resistance. It pulled back in August but has now pushed through that line again. Is the downtrend finally ending?
Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in mid-August. That could also show a more bullish longer-term trend.
Third, the August low around $33.60 represented a 50 percent retracement of the move between early June and late July. Does that confirm direction is skewed to the upside?
