XLP: buy signal in its 10th week
Our view last week
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.
This week's summary
XLP, the consumer staples ETF, brushed its all-time high this week (+1.1%), but without conviction: the daily upper Bollinger Band has already rejected it twice, and the last bar shows sellers in control as buyer dominance collapses. In our XLP technical analysis, the buy signal is now in its 10th week, strength at 29 out of 100: weak conviction, fading.
