XLU sheds 4.2% in the confirmation week
Our view last week
XLU bounces off a clean double bottom in the 44 area and closes the week up 2.5%, pressing back into the 46 band where price has already stalled more than once. Our XLU technical analysis flags a fresh buy, but with mixed signals: volume is contracting and the rejection candles are mixed, a sign the phase is still undecided. Daily money flow stays negative and signal strength is only medium-weak: an entry to handle with caution.
This week's summary
XLU closes the week down 4.2%, with sellers clearly dominant in the last session and buyer dominance visibly collapsing. Daily money flow stays negative. The confirmation week for the buy signal ends in the red: the picture calls for close attention, with the dynamic stop already tighter than the structural level, protecting the position.
