XLK jumps 7.2%: the confirmation week points to exiting the sell signal
US tech sector ETF
Our view last week
XLK, the US technology sector ETF, opens the week with a new Sell signal: price has returned to the 171 area already touched, but no session has defended it yet, so for now the move under way continues. The week closed almost flat, -0.3%, with two price action warnings - mixed rejection candles and an indecisive phase. Our XLK technical analysis flags one thing: the ETF is still 48.7% above its 200-week average, a level from which a fresh short is high-risk.
This week's summary
XLK turns the page: after last week's flat close with the decline still under way, the US tech ETF jumps a clean 7.2% and moves back near recent highs. The sell signal's confirmation week closes higher: a cue to exit the position. Price still sits well above its 200-week average, a level from which a fresh short starts uphill. Price closed above the first stop level (SL1) flagged in last week's card (187.33 area): for anyone following that level the trade is closed.
