SPDR SELECT SECTOR FUND - UTILITIES

AMEX:​XLU

The Utilities are in a 9 year uptrend and are either in a bear flag or fixing to break out to the upside and continue the trend.

2-year rising wedge broke down and retested. The retest itself formed another rising wedge. Stop over this retest high at 51.50. Pattern target is 40.50 10x potential return Add to position on break of minor wedge

Long defensives, like XLU, short cyclicals...XLY...nice R/R ratio...

Utilities (XLU) might be a good long idea here. As the markets get choppy, utilities like XLU might hold up well. Price above the 10sma and volume increasing.

... for a 3.02/contract debit. This is a "properly" set up split month Poor Man's Covered Call where the credit received for the short exceeds the extrinsic in the long and has a neutral to bullish assumption. It's neutral because price can stay right here, and I can reduce cost basis further by rolling the short call out in time and/or it's bullish, because it ...

... for a 2.05/contract debit (82% of the width of the spread). Another defined risk, neutral to bullish assumption setup in the April cycle ... . The natural alternative would be to just sell short puts here (the April 20th 48's are paying .66; 32 delta), but the premium in those just didn't seem that worth it relative to buying power effect. For example, ...

XLU oscillators are showing short term bottom and next week we'll see higher price. Most of XLU components are energy companies therefore LOW Oil price is GOOD.

https://www.tradingview.com/x/cEYr31Mx/ Utilities have taken a major hit in the risk-on market environment we've seen lately. Last week $XLU completed a perfect 61.8% retracement of recent gains and showed a strong bounce at that key support level. I think we have an excellent buy for a swing trade at this level with a view to hold patiently for 1-3 months and ...

Dual stochastic bear flag. Look for a touch of the 20 or 50 ema near the fib line then a move down.

After the long down move the utilities sector has gone through, it looks like it could be ready to turn around. We might be a little early here but this is what we're seeing that is telling us that it's ready to make a move higher finally: -When you look at the 4 hour chart you can see that the price is coming out of a squeeze higher to the upside -When looking ...

The custom support resistance indicator lines show decent places to enter or exit. The Blue indicator line serves as a Bullish Trend setter. If your instrument closes above the Blue line, we think about going Long. If your instrument closes below the Red line, we think about Shorting. For Stocks, I prefer to use the Yellow line as my Bearish Trend setter.

A close below the Yellow Indicator Line would be bearish $TLT $TYX

Hitting the long term trend line. Up or down? It's going somewhere from here

$50 area entry target swing play for $XLU missed it by a buck.

The Utilities sector have been underperforming. With IV Rank of 67.5 and down around 10% since December we are getting at least some premium to sell. I don't want to risk a move upward, so I Sold a Big Lizard (Straddle at 51 and bought the 52 call) to eliminate the risk to the upside. This is a high probability trade above 70% and we make money as long as it ...

a bit early on this one but starting to look for an entry on some utility companies at channel support around $50. looking at $D, $NEE, $NRG, $PCG, $EXC
