Update on XLE: Potential continuation of the uptrend
Taking a look back at XLE we can see that the ETF has returned to test the area of breach of the symmetrical triangle (or the current support of the descending trend line). Pick up in volume shows that the activity has risen and market participants are getting excited. A breach was made a classical follow-up test was made. Currently, we are sitting at the support and overall there was no attempt in Yesterday's market session to push below it. The dip was bought and XLE closed firmly with a fresh high for the day. Even though here RSI and MACD are laying out the perspectives for a deeper correction it may be "skipped". Recovery in energy assets may pull up the ETF away from the support for the uptrend to continue.
My personal view is that trend will continue and XLE will rise, but it won't be wise not to forecast a negative scenario as well.
The outlook will shift to negative if we see a strong push back inside the triangle. Fundamentals are still shaky with the COVID-19 pandemic still raging. This may raise the question of additional lockdowns or stopping global flights again, which will hit oil and energy prices overall.
