Our view last week
XLG, the ETF tracking the top 50 S&P 500 mega-caps, is in the 8th week of its sell signal, and this week the volume picture flipped: from 88% sell last week to 92% buy this week, with a 1.3% bounce. Money flow, though, stays negative and barely moved, and the price is still boxed in the same tight range from seven days ago, between the 60.8 resistance area and the 60.6 support area.
This week's summary
After 8 weeks locked in a sell signal, XLG flips: a fresh buy signal kicks in, with price hugging its all-time highs and buyers back in control of volume. Under the surface, though, cracks are showing - weekly volume is contracting, candle-body conviction is fading, and distribution is underway. Our model, for now, calls this an elevated-risk opening.
