Biotech down on news, may enter new downtrend.

AMEX:XBI   SPDR Series Trust SPDR S&P Biotech ETF
The biotech sector fell today news that Donald Trump intends to sign an executive order demanding that pharmaceutical companies give the US government "favored nation" prices. The news may not be as bad as it sounds, because Trump is apparently only launching a pilot program that will effect a small number of drugs. However, it's hard to predict the market's reaction to the news. Biotech is still above its trendline and its MACD is still above the signal line, so it's still bullish for now. But it could breach both tomorrow and enter a downturn. Beware if XBI falls below about 84.90 tomorrow.
Comment:
Volume appears to be on the selling side.
