Buy signal in its 9th week, strength fading
Our view last week
XLP carved out a clean double bottom in the 82 area, with an intermediate 6% rebound, and this week it added 1.3%, pressing back toward the daily Bollinger Band's upper edge. The picture stays mixed, though: only 16% of yesterday's volume was on the buy side, and daily money flow is still negative. The buy signal, now in its eighth week, is running with a modest 0.46% gain.
This week's summary
XLP closes the week down 1.2%, boxed into a tight band between its 20-day average (the 84.19 area) and its 50-day average (the 84.05 area): a squeeze that speaks to indecision. Buyers dominated 86% of yesterday's volume, yet daily money flow stays negative - a mixed signal. In our XLP technical analysis, the buy signal is now in its 9th week, with strength down to 29 out of 100: weak conviction, fading.
