Health Care ETF: a 1.8% pause inside a still-solid uptrend
Our view last week
XLV, the Health Care sector ETF, is in week 5 of a buy signal and running at +9.55% since entry. The sector remains in a strength phase and the weekly technical picture is fully aligned, but signal strength has dropped to 33 out of 100: a steadier move rather than an explosive one. The stop is already at breakeven, with the first management window one week away.
This week's summary
Weekly technical analysis. Health Care remains in a strength phase, but XLV gave back 1.8% this week: the weekly picture still leans bullish, yet three warnings stand out — thinning candle bodies, collapsing buyer dominance, sellers ruling the last bar — while the daily chart shows a double bottom in the 147 area with a 7% rebound. The trade is in its 6th week, running +7.6% since entry, with signal strength down to 35 out of 100 and the pace now steadier.
