XLP trade ideas
XLPDaily Chart Report
XLP looks like it is forming a bull flag. If it breaks out to the upside then the first price target would be the ATH resistance level. If it breaks down then you will find support around the 73 level. If you see the indicator below the two lines are compressing. A compression always leads to an expansion. A big move is in the cards next week. I also want to note that XLP is a defensive sector so it tends to outperform in a choppy market.
Week 4: Sector ETF Expectations I use sector ETFs in my IRA account. Currently, I hold XOP and XLF, and I wish I held XLE. I will try to buy XLP (Which shouldn't be a problem) next week.
For Week 4, I'm expecting XLF to firm up and XOP to come in a bit. XLE would be kind to give me an entry point at prior resistance/ support, but we'll see. Oil looks darn strong at the moment.
XLF (Held), hurt me Friday, but held support.
XLE on fire
XOP (Held), can it hang on and break through resistance?
XLP potential topXLP is coming up to a potential top with a morning star starting to for on 24hr. Looks to be forming a broadening top as well. pushed up to a nice fib level for potential reversal with strong selling volume at the top. Momentum is drying up on the 1 hr and 4hr as well as multiple bearish divergences
XLP BreakoutBeen watching this setup for a little while. not much you can do now unless you're already in XLP names from lower, but it's a great example of capital flows re-orienting around defensive names at the moment, in light of potential tapering / rates moves in the future. High mult continues to flounder.
It's time to be defensive next couple months- This chart is showing the price action for XLP/ SPY. XLP is the consumer staples ETF and is the sector that investors flock to during risk off situations in the market.
- What I'm trying to show here is the massive divergence between price and RSI. Momentum is building up for last few months which means a massive rally in XLP/ SPY is coming.
- A couple examples are from 2014- 2015 and 2007
XLP - Consumer Staples Ponzied - Made in China - Stuck at SeaCOGS/PPI etc. is through the roof. Shipping a product? Good luck. Atleast #cannabisreform is going on. $KERN- the CANNABIS DATA Software!!! GO USA MSOSs!!!!
Multi State Operators! #thegem #jobsandjustice *rising rates environment.
Go Small cap gems. #valueinvesting
XLP/SPY : Risk On Till XLP Starts Outperforming SPYXLP - Consumer Staples are up 40% from their covid low, SPY is up over 90% since April 2020.
A bottom in XLP/SPY has always signaled a larger degree market correction. Investors rush into XLP as a flight to safety.
The ratio XLP/SPY looks like its chugging down still and have followed in the weakness of defensive stocks these past weeks.
WAKE ME UP WHEN XLP STARTS TO OUTPERFORM SPY until then zZz
If you're bullish you do not want to see XLP/SPX bounce hereHere's another ratio pair I like to watch. Its SPDR Consumer Staples ETF vs SPX. This chart will rise when XLP out performs the SPX on a relative basis. As you can see the XLP/SPX has just come into a key support zone. If XLP/SPX breaks this support it's very bullish. However, if it bounces like is has in the past expect a sell off in stocks.
Note.. the lower chart is the SPX.
