Our view last week
XLV, the US Health Care ETF, closes the week almost flat near its highs, but price action is flashing fatigue: buyers are losing ground and the last candle shows sellers firmly in control. The buy signal is in its 9th week, running at +8.75% since entry, with the stop now at breakeven. This week's XLV technical analysis points to managing the position with discipline.
This week's summary
XLV, the US Health Care sector ETF, closes its 10th week up 1.9% and sits a step from its all-time highs, just 1.72% away - but that level has already been tested twice in the last 10 weeks, and a direct breakout entry stays risky, a pullback is the better call. Under the surface the picture is more indecisive: buyers are losing ground and the latest candles are sending mixed signals. The buy signal, meanwhile, keeps running, at +10.84% since entry.
