Utilities under pressure: the buy signal loses steam
Our view last week
AES shares close the week up a modest 0.5% and stay compressed under their 50-week average, as the weekly candle bodies lose conviction. On the daily chart buyers still dominate volume (75%), yet money flow stays weak, and the stock heads into this very week's quarterly earnings. The buy signal is in its 9th week, with the trade up 1.1% since entry.
This week's summary
AES closes the week down 1.1%: sellers take clear control in the final session, volume dries up, and the picture points to a distribution phase underway. The Utilities sector adds pressure, with its benchmark ETF off more than 4% for the week. The buy signal is now in its 10th week and the trade is back to breakeven, with the model calling for a further trim of the position.
