XLU: a fresh Sell signal kicks in
Our view last week
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.
This week's summary
XLU, the US utilities sector ETF, slips 1.7% this week and triggers a fresh Sell signal, the first since last week's buy signal snapped into the red just seven days ago. Our weekly technical analysis shows a decline making no new lows — signal strength at 36 out of 100, momentum stalling — with the confirmation week still open and an entry our model rates high-risk.
