US tech ETF, technical bounce with a fading trend
XLK bounces off its EMA20 and gains 1.3%, but the trend is fading
Our view last week
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.
This week's summary
XLK, the US technology sector ETF, bounces off its 20-day moving average after touching the 181 area — a 3% rebound in just a few sessions, with price back above 184. But beneath the weekly candle the picture is fading: ADX has fallen for eight weeks straight, MACD sits below its Signal line, and volume is contracting. This technical analysis shows an ETF still holding firmly above its long-term averages, though the upward push keeps losing strength.
