Will history repeat? XLE outperformed XLK in 2000In the year 2000, the energy sector represented by XLE outperformed the technology sector represented by XLK. The trend seems to be repeating itself as we witness the commodities boom occurring just as the tech boom slows down.
This begs the question, will history repeat itself?!
During the tech boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the technology sector was the most sought-after by investors. However, in 2000, the market saw a major shift as the energy sector, represented by XLE, outperformed the technology sector, represented by XLK. This shift occurred as the tech bubble burst and the commodities boom took over.
Fast forward to today, and we see a similar trend. As the technology sector has slowed down in recent months, the energy sector has seen significant gains. The rise in commodities such as oil and gas has driven the energy sector's recent outperformance.
While there are always unique factors at play in the market, the similarities between the current situation and that of 2000 cannot be ignored. It is possible that history will repeat itself, and we could see the energy sector once again outperforming the technology sector.
$XLE - Weakness in the Energy Sector Could Bring Stage 4 DeclineThe Energy sector is notoriously one of the last to roll over in a recessionary environment and the $XLE chart appears to be topping out right on queue.
After a euphoric run beginning in the middle of 2020, the Energy sector has stalled out creating a triple top near the $90 level.
With the break of the 200-day moving average, along with an accompanying bearish momentum regime in the RSI, we expect the Energy sector to begin its descent into a Stage 4 decline.
Many individual stocks within the Energy sector look prime for capitulation events and accompanying sector weakness would further aggravate already anemic charts.
PT near 60.
XLE (Energy)In my last my post, I XLE should bounce off 82 and retest is daily 50sma; Since then we've dropped back to 82.
Holding 82 is important for bulls. You Never want to see a Sector lose .236 fib if your a bull... .236 is a reversal fib.
Right below 82 is XLE primary trendline since 2020 lows at 80$. If we break and close below 80 we are looking at bearish reversal with my first target 72$ gap close
If we bounce we still have breakover the most recent downtrend (White line) at around 85.50, if we breakover 85, then it's back to 93$ ...
Chart looks bearish IMO; like we're in final stages of distribution.
There's been RSI divergence since last May
Fib levels are from ATH and All time low
XLE - the bigger short It's a controversial call to say energy prices are going to drop dramatically into next year but this is what the XLE chart is showing.
We're at a double top with monthly bearish RSI divergence, and the same structural trendline where it fell last time. My guess is it could get back down to 50. If it's a C leg it could happen faster than most would expect. 50 area would be a confluence of support - channel trendline and horizontal trendline, also IF a C leg comes, 50 is about 1.618 fib extension from the A leg.
This idea is invalid if XLE can hold above 102 on a monthly close. Good luck!

energy in a pickleno really, this thing is set to roar. big rigs, big pigs, young hogs and motor fog. letterr rrrrrrip! were down near the bottom of the envelope, were way oversold, and the sectir is acting defensively in rotation with a bear market. id like to revisit the top of this rectangle and then dump again 🤷
XLE: A ZONE TO WATCH IN THE ENERGY SECTORSince October of 2022 we have seen an interesting zone form in the SPDR Energy Sector ETF. This zone is marked by the yellow rectangle in the chart. We noted four support bounces in this zone, a breakthrough of the zone, and two rejection bounces. This support/resistance zone is one to watch over the coming weeks. A rally into the yellow zone is one to watch closely for a potential rejection.
