XLF trade ideas

Uptrend Channel ETFWhen the price touches the support trend line , or the lower trend line, of an ascending channel , a buy trade is signaled. When the price touches the resistance trend line, or the upper trend line, a short trade is signaled. It is also important to pay attention to the volume of the stock. If the stock breaks support with high volume , it is a greater indication that the trend is broken. However, if the stock breaks support with low volume , it is okay to hold a little longer since it could be a false breakout. If you choose to hold a little longer, make sure you have a stop loss

XLF - a good barometer for banking stocks to buy/sellLook at XLF and GS, don't you think that they mirror each other in its chart pattern? I have find using XLF a good barometer to buy or sell banking stocks like Citigroup, JPM and GS. Again, XLF has shown temporary weakness with price action closing below 21EMA and a gap between 25.51 and 25.61 awaiting to be filled. 25.51 is slightly above the 50% FIB level which could potentially retrace and continue its bullish move. See my next chart for further explanation.

$XLF Is the Financial Pullback Something More? (includes video)U.S. financial stocks have been in pullback mode this week despite the SPX moving higher. Considering that financial stocks had been a big boost to market gains over the last several months, this could be concerning. The XLF is down about 3% - and regional banks KRE down 6% - since the recent top. Let's put this move into context, shall we? As MacroView as posted before, financial stocks really began to rally in early Sept just as the 10s/fed funds curve bottoms around 90 basis points. The correlation has been rather strong between .65 to .93. In our view, the curve and financials rallied on two things: markets were trying to price higher inflation (we saw this as the long-end steepened) vis-a-vie higher commodity prices. Then, markets were anticipating Pres. Trump nominating John Taylor as the next fed chair, who would be uber hawkish. We were happy to take the other side of that bet. Powell is dovish. In turn, we saw yields and copper, particularly, head lower. The 10s/fed funds rate topped out at 131 basis points and began to trade lower on the above events. Price action in XLF and KRE weakened and the pullback ensued. Click the here to listen to where support may be found and whether or not financials and the curve will rebound.

XLF looking like a good long position here as a short bond proxyIf you expect an uptick in inflation like I do in the US, the Financials could be a good way to play this. With USD down more than 10% this year, commodities having risen by more, and continued labour market tightness, inflation could surprise to the upside over the next few months and $XLF could be the proxy to play this, rather than being short bonds - which is something I don't like to do due to the negative carry. This trade could also complement a long position in USD/JPY.
