Buy signal, week 2
XLG slips 1.6% in its confirmation week, but the structure stays bullish
Our view last week
XLG, the ETF tracking the S&P 500's 50 largest companies, closes the first confirmation week of its new buy signal down 0.3%. Under the surface the picture stays cautious: weekly volume is contracting, candle-body conviction struggles to hold, and distribution continues, with only 24% of daily volume on the buy side. The price is still hugging its all-time highs but hasn't broken the entry trigger in the 63.5 area yet — a technical setup that calls for patience.
This week's summary
XLG closes the first confirmation week of its new buy signal down 1.6%, worse than the -0.3% of seven days ago. Price action deteriorates further: buyer dominance is collapsing, sellers ruled the last bar to an extreme, and the stock remains in a full distribution phase. The price hasn't broken the entry trigger in the 63.5 area yet and is still hugging its all-time highs, with little room to run before the next resistance.
