XLF - One more short-term upside. Mid-term potential bullXLF had a strong close yesterday night, and with the RSI showing bullish divergence, the stock may continue to rise towards the supply level at 36.00. Afterwhich, the potential sell-off may find itself at a support at 33.48, which potentially could form a bullish flag. Larger pattern saw a cup and handle formation.
$XLF: Sideways or down nextThere's a trend that is expiring in financials here, which makes me uneasy for the broad market. Within the next 8 trading days we can expect either a sideways move near the target here, or a drop back to where the last trend signal started @ $34.1. I'd keep an eye out for reasons to short the market soon, financials might be warning us of impending risk if price drops from here next week.
Good luck!
