XLE: the sell signal loses steam
Our view last week
XLE, the US energy sector ETF, is in week 3 of a sell signal: the week just closed down 1.2%, and the decline keeps making lower lows. The energy sector remains in a weak phase, the setup quality indicator climbs to 82 out of 100, and our model flags trading as not recommended for a new short here.
This week's summary
Weekly technical analysis. The sell signal on XLE, the US energy sector basket, has reached its fourth week without ever getting confirmed by the market: after last week's slide the sector bounced 3.5%, and signal strength collapses to 2 out of 100 — a decline with no fresh push left. The price is now boxed between a support and a resistance sitting right on top of each other, and our model flags trading as not recommended for a new short here.
