XLK trade ideas

Double Top on Tech?Technology stocks had a strong first half but could be ending the year on a weak note. Is the sector finally losing its leadership? Today’s chart of the SPDR Select Sector Technology Fund highlights the July 10 closing high of $237.68. XLK stalled around that same level a week ago, resulting in a potential double top on the fund. Second, prices have slipped below October's closing high of $233.73. That stands in contrast with other big sectors like Communications, Financials and Consumer Discretionaries. Third, relative strength in the lower study shows fading leadership in technology versus the broader market. We end with a look at Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA , which has been a major driver of the sector this year. Notice the sharply rising lower trendline and the higher trendline with less of an upward slope. That kind of rising wedge is a potential reversal pattern. It could also raise the stakes headed into NVDA’s big earnings report after the closing bell next Wednesday, November 20. Standardized Performances for the ETF mentioned above: SPDR Select Sector Technology ETF (XLK) 1-year: +35.50% 5-years: +165.61% 10-year: +448.20% (As of October 31, 2024) Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs") are subject to management fees and other expenses.

Looking at an Oct contract Oct18 215c for roughly 9.7 (I'll try to buy at the mid) Using the ATR of 5.7 - SL: 215.89 (just below YLOD and 100d SMA) TP1: 227.37 resistance TP2: 232.17 supply zone test TP3: 238.12 ATH's test Max Date: Market open of 9/25/24 **As always, if targets are not met by max date, I will exit full no matter the p/l. Also keep in mind that there are certainly more catalysts ahead next week with the rate decision.

XLK - possible opportunity but don't plant all your seed at onceTime to start accumulating some XLK? I think so. With the 200-day on the yearly chart being breached, I believe this a good entry point. Buyer be aware, painful times may be ahead. Going with weekly purchases on this one for dollar cost averaging. Quick spike up my result in a quick sell on my end but I’ll also welcome ongoing movement down. From a technical standpoint, the last time XLK breached the 200-day was August 5th. It quickly recovered. From a guessing standpoint, I don’t see this happening again. I’m thinking a sideways movement from here until November (excellent candidate for the wheel) or more downward pressure. Beyond this current area, next major support is the $190ish range. I added Volume Profile to the chart. Still learning this one but wanted to leave it on. Comments are welcomed as to what you see, especially with Volume Profile.

XLK vs SPY shows key break throughThe tech sectors sell off we experienced over the past month looks to be coming to a close In multiple tech giant ETFS (XLK and SMH) are seeing breakthoughs of the past months violent sell off comparing XLK/SPY we see that the recent downtrend has broken The pair setup had reached level of support which it hit this time last year Since September is typically a rough month we should not expect any big rallies during the next month or so. Do not expect any rally to start until atleast October possibly early November Anticipate market trades flat overall for next month or so.

XLK Price Momentum DivergenceTech printed a triple divergence on a daily timeframe today between price and MACD, with a bearish engulfing candle close. Even if today's high holds, we are likely to see a retrace higher of this downside move in the first half of next week. Assuming the high holds, we are likely to see a pullback to the 50MA around ~ 200, or 3.5% lower than today close. A re-connect with the 200MA around 180 is not out of the question which would see price drop another 12-13%. The recent examples of similar occurrences of price and momentum divergences are December (50MA test) and last July (200MA test).

Insights into Market Analysis: SPDR XLK Sector trend analysisThe upward trend of XLK experienced a halt in mid-April, marked by a price breakout below the swing low at $197.3. By retracing the price action from January 2022 to October 13, 2022, a potential pattern emerges, suggesting the formation of a 'Head & Shoulders' reversal pattern. XLK had been on an upward trajectory from October 2022 until April 2024, largely driven by the robust performance of the tech sector. However, with the application of sector rotation principles, it appears that XLK is exhibiting signs of technical weakness. Currently, other sectors such as XLE and XLU are demonstrating stronger performance compared to the overall market.
