XLY trade ideas

MACRO VIEW: XLY IN FIRM MACRO UPTRENDConsumer Discretionary SPDR ETF is looking good on both short term and long term basis. On long term basis - XLY trades in both 5 and 10 year uptrend, as the price stands firmly above 1st upper standard deviations from both 5 and 10 year means It has tested its 5-year trend during the august selloff and held it successfully. On short term basis - XLY shows no trends in particular, as the price is firmly within the 1st standard deviations from 1-year and quarterly means. It is a positive development, since nothing on short term basis stands in the way of long term trends.

XLY $76.08: Consolidates within a 6-week rangeXLY has been consolidating within a 6-week range between the 77.13 YTD peak (March 23, 2015) and 74.23/24 (March 11/26, lows). While the 74.99 support (April 17, 2015 low) holds dips, further gains above 76.14 (10 day moving average) would open the 76.83 resistance (April 13, 2015) ahead of 77.13. However, a break below 74.99 would prolong the consolidation and retest the 74.23/24 range support area. Outlook: Short term: neutral Long term: bullish

Confidence Ratio Going DownA great indicator to determine the confidence (ie. risk appetite) of investors/speculators is the XLY/XLP ratio. XLY is the ETF for consumer discretionary stocks whereas XLP is the ETF for constumer staples stocks. In times of confidence, XLY should perform better than XLP because there is belief that the economy is doing well and that people will spend cash on things that are not absolutely necessary. The ratio has been tracking US equities indexes fairly well over the last years, but now we see major divergence. XLY/XLP is moving down and from a technical analysis standpoint it does not look like it is about to go rise back anytime soon. Yet, at the same time, the S&P 500 has been hitting all-time highs. This performance seems like it is not supported by risk appetite - which it should! So what should you do from here? Short this ratio? Short the S&P? That is all up to you. This is just another factor from a long list that supports the thesis that equities are overextended. Good luck trading.

Consumer Discrete Select Sector SPDR Strong Trend may not lastThis is more of educational than opening trade, but if u want to you can do so. One of the few things that may make you believe recent rebound a possible new all time high as Nasdaq Composit did and probably SPX and DJI may also follow is the ability of the Consumer Discretionary SPDR (XLY) to hit a new high this week or today. The StochRSI is suggesting that we may be close to the peak than breakout upside although we have taken out both March high and July high and printed new high for this year, hard to go against the trend that seems only getting stronger. There is a good chance that 1.27 or at 68.62 being strong resistance, if this broken expect the price to face a real and stiff overhead resistance at and around 69.57 which is where one should get his/her gun read to trigger long waited short entry. If you like it follow us more to come.

XLY Short= Consumer Screwed??Not bearish enough for long-term or intermediate longs to worry yet. But I am taking this short bet to hedge some of my longs in the portfolio. I am slowly scaling out of longs fully and starting to take tier 1-2 size short position in some sectors. Risk-Reward is good if trade confirms. Stop is just around 1.30-1.50% away from entry. Target 1 around 50 day EMA and Target 2 around 100 day EMA which is in line with bottom support trendline of this rising wedge. (confirms the validity of this wedge for now). It is important to note that this sector had a relatively weaker rebound on friday so it might not be as strong next week even if market rises. *I have a small size short in XLY from $63.50 and I bought few Jan $64 puts.
