XLK ETF: bearish confirmation, exit warning
XLK falls 3.5% in its confirmation week as the model flags an exit
Our view last week
On XLK, the US technology sector ETF, a fresh buy signal has just kicked in: seven days ago the confirmation week was pointing to an exit from a decline, and now the picture flips. Price is hugging its recent highs, with three rising daily lows running from the 166 to the 185 area, but volume stays contracted and the weekly candle closes undecided. Our model flags trading as not recommended: better to wait for confirmation before chasing the breakout in the 192 area.
This week's summary
XLK, the US technology sector ETF, closed the week down 3.5% after brushing its recent highs: the weekly candle shows sellers firmly in control in the last bar and volume contracting, signs that the rally is losing steam. The buy signal that fired 7 days ago is now in its confirmation week, and a falling ADX confirms the trend is struggling to find conviction. Weekly technical analysis on an ETF worth watching closely.
