Buy signal, week 2
XLY dips 0.2% as buyers lose steam near the highs
Our view last week
XLY, the ETF tracking US consumer discretionary stocks, closes its confirmation week down 1.4%, giving back part of last week's advance. The weekly picture still holds together — moving averages aligned, MACD above its Signal line and improving — but price action shows early caution: volumes contracting and sellers slightly ahead on the latest bar. Our technical analysis on XLY still confirms the buy signal, with strength still modest and the ETF sitting mid-table.
This week's summary
XLY slips another 0.2% and the 2nd week of the buy signal closes on a cautious note: volumes are thinning, the latest bar leans toward sellers, and buyer dominance is fading. Last week's drop was sharper, at 1.4%: the pace is easing, not reversing. The weekly structure still holds together — moving averages aligned, price above the 50-week average, MACD above its Signal line and improving — and the price sits within a whisker of its all-time high.
