Financial Sector Breaks Out to ATH s as the Fed Holds Rates FirmBanks Reclaim the Spotlight
The financial sector has staged a notable turnaround this summer after lagging much of 2026. Through late July, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund was up roughly 4% for the year, but July alone contributed a 6.2% rally, its strongest month since January 2025, and the fund closed at a record high on July 28. The move has been fueled by a stronger than expected second quarter earnings season, with JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley all posting solid r

NASDAQ BANK INDEX ready to reverse ? LONGBANK is tracking bank stocks within the NASDAQ. I cannot find if it is market cap weighted or
instead an unweighted composite I wanted to check this out to see if the banking sector might
reverse and perhaps have some trade candidates based on relative strength or even
rising trading volumes.
On the 15 chart, BANK's price is in a descending channel or wedge. It is too early to tell if
it is breaking out although it is sandwiched between the SMA10 and SMA20 as so in limbo at

signal from the machine learning algo indicator. Banks are reporting. Interest rate changes by

into the high-volume area and bounced. It has recovered from a VWAP band breakdown
correcting from the 3rd upper band to the first upper band. The dual time RSI indicator

$STXFIN Satrix Fin. Ominous looking head and shoulders The fund invests in the 15 largest financial companies listed on the JSE, ranked by investable market cap.
Head and shoulders formed with the right should on top op the 200 day moving average support line
A break of this support could see a price target of 1239. A long way down.
Nice rounding top forming on the XLF.Weekly chart of the $XLF. Rounding top off as it battles the price shelf (VPVR on right). Likely to struggle on the way down to truly fall but will ultimately fail at the 72 to 89 EMA cloud (red cloud). Likely retesting $31 towards the end of this year.

Financial Sector About To Break Out (XLF)I see a clear bullish triangle breakout formation on XLF, which is currently a leading sector in the S&P500 (with regard to relative strength).

XLF... Financial sector holding up market, not techOddly enough, for the month on February, Financials have been holding up the equity market, as Technology is rotating out in a retracement.
This may also mean that any perturbation on the Financial sector, could crumble the indexes.
Watch this space...
FINANCIAL SECTOR LEAD BEAR FOR THE MARKETTICKER: $XLF
Financial sector is the clear lead bears for the market. We rejected hard at 31.10ish level and broke key support level of 30.46. In my opinion, this is the reason why $SPY pulled back hard.
We had huge bear volume on Friday and if we break the low of Friday (30.20), look for a continue dump to fill the gap under 30.13.
Can the bears dethrone the bulls in the short term?
XLF Strong compared to other sectorsTicker: $XLF
Huge gap up open and bulls ran with it. The only reason why SPY was so strong is because of the financial sector.
XLF closed above the All time high (30.33)! We need more bull volume to confirm it is a clear break or else I would still consider it a double top with 30.33 if we reject.
If we consolidate pre market and bulls open with fire, that would be ideal for bulls.
If we consolidate hard, expect a 4 hour high low to form because retesting the All time high of 30.46.
BB&T Gann ProjectionsUse the low of 0.50381626 ; use the high of 29 & project out from there and these critical levels present themselves
acknowledge the strength of these gann levels

Financials SectorWhats up traders,
Most of the explanation is on the chart - pretty self evident what i am looking at.

Market resistances are clear on every time frameSPY closed at the low of the week with only the low of October 259.85 as support, and we are likely to test that level first thing next week. It's clear the MA20 on every timeframe is important for SPY, and both the tech and financial sectors and this has been rejecting every bounce attempt on every timeframe so far.
Bears have the momentum on every timeframe; we're watching for changes of 4 hour trends and until then, the bulls are proving nothing to us
