Sell signal in observation · week 2
XLP drops 1.9% and loses its 100-week average: 7th straight weekly decline
Our view last week
After 6 straight weekly declines, with weekly volume firmly in sellers' hands, a new sell signal fires on XLP, the consumer staples ETF. The week lost 0.9% and the price action remains in full distribution, with price below the 50-week average. XLP technical analysis, however, finds price already close to its 30-week lows: with trading not recommended, we prefer to wait for a bounce.
This week's summary
XLP, the consumer staples ETF, has lost its 100-week average: another 1.9% drop makes it 7 weekly declines in a row. A week ago we were waiting for a bounce, and it never came: during the week price printed a fresh 30-week low, though the close did not confirm it. XLP technical analysis shows price action in distribution and a decline holding its pace; with trading not recommended, this swing trading setup stays on the sell side and an entry is worth weighing only on a recovery.
