SPY, the S&P 500 ETF: the all-time high rejects again as cyclicals retake the lead

August 28, 2026

Our view last week

Weekly technical analysis of SPY, the S&P 500 ETF: the rotation turns defensive. In five sessions technology — a third of the basket — sheds 3.53% and slides to the weakest tier, dragging industrials along, while healthcare (+4.33%) and energy (+2.79%) take the lead. The all-time high, touched again in mid-August, still caps the tape: the index closes its first down week after three up, 1.75% below the record. Signal Strength sits at 7 out of 100.
