MACRO VIEW: XLI HOLDS 10-YEAR UPTREND, STILL NOT BACK IN 5-YEARXLI holds 10-year uptrend at the august selloff, but did not yet recover its 5-year uptrend.
On long term perspective price has failed its 5-year uptrend (fell below 5-year uptrend border) and tested its 10-year trend during the august selloff (tagged the 10-year uptrend border). The 10-year uptrend test proved successful and the price has been recovering since then.
On short term perspective nothing stands in the way of the recovery, as price is showing no short term trends - XLI is trading within 1st standard deviations from 1-year and quarterly means.
Thus price is likely to return into long term uptrend if it breaks above 55. Downside risk will be apparent below 50 level.
XLI trade ideas
XLI bullish- Morning star bullish reversal pattern points higherXLI extended the downleg off 56.47 (June 18, 2015 high) via a 6-week falling channel to reach 52.46 Monday (July 27, 2015), near 61.8% of the 48.83/58.23 rise and the channel support as well. Subsequent strong rebound forms a morning star bullish reversal pattern (as shown on the daily chart) and signal further strength towards the 54.20/54.52 zone (July 23/22, 2015 highs) near the channel resistance. A decisive breakout there is needed to suggest a significant low is in place for a move towards 55.15 (July 17, 2015 lower high). However, failure to hold the 52.46 low would negate the near-term bullish scenario and accelerate the YTD downtrend towards 51.04 (76.4% of the 48.83/58.23 rise).
Outlook:
Short term: bullish
Long term: neutral
XLI BulishXLI is showing great strength as is 3M after its fall from a analyst report. This sector shows great accumulation over the last 3 months and even until this week. A buy area for me would be a retest of the previous high on a pullback
