XLF trade ideas
Double Top Forming on XLF / FinancialsXLF is approaching massive resistance at $30, the peak prior to the Great Recession. It appears to be forming a double top, which if cleared will open the door for a huge rally. Conversely, a failure would open the door to a large correction. Very short term (next week or so), I think we see buyers lift prices (I'm long 3/29 $29's), but I believe we ultimately fail at $30, a level I'll short against. Given broader weakness, European banking issues (DB is crashing), overly bullish sentiment, and the aforementioned technical picture, it seems to be a good setup.
Financials about to complete 61.8 correction The Financials are looking strong today as we get closer to FOMC minutes.
XLF is about to complete a 61.8 Fib correction to the bearish move that we had two weeks ago when XLF touched 2008's levels.
This can be the end of XLF's bullish pullback... if it's a pullback :)
XLF will definitely be influenced by today's minutes.
