XLF trade ideas

TWINS: XLF & IWM, BOTH MOVE IN TANDEMI believe IWM is setting up for the completion of a long top which is rolling over. I believe IWM will fall to about $95 before moving on to higher highs. For those of you who chart XLF, please be aware that XLF and IWM move in tandem. If you are charting one then you are charting both. Both are lagging, both have had technical bounces, and both need to participate in the "stock" market if we are to have a meaningful move higher. The above chart is of XLF, but the thick bright green line is IWM. As you can see, these two issues move together. I hope this has been helpful and informative. May all of your trades go well. Don.

MACRO VIEW: XLF AT MACRO UNCERTAINTY, STILL RECOVERING FROM 2008Financial SPDR ETF is still recovering from 2008 losses and did not make it back in terms of prices. On long term basis - XLF has only recently crossed back the 10-year mean upwards (now at 21.50) and have been in 5-year uptrend until the recent August selloff. Currently it is trading within 1st standard deviation from 5-year mean, showing no macro trend. On short term basis - XLF is also showing no trend, as the price is trading within 1st standard deviations from 1-year and quarterly means. In summary, the 5-year uptrend will resume only after price will cross back 24 (5-year uptrend border). Until then, trend is lateral.

XLF Financial Sector: Weekly linear: XLF Topping Soon??Although the DJIA and the SPY keep making new highs, the XLF hasn't quite made a .618 correction. This in itself would indicate some weakness and indicate that when or if a major bear market develops it may be a big loser. The way I see the price action from the 2009 low to now is a A-B-C correction with the B wave the form of an expanding triangle. Using this concept it forms a good looking (to me) channel. One fairly common relationship is for the C wave to be a fib relationship to A. Commonly C=A, or C=.618x A, or C=1.618x A. Another somewhat common occurrence is for a correction to be a .618 retracement. Both of these may occur soon at the rectangle labeled C? I will be watching this action the next few weeks for signs of a reversal then go short. Hope this is helpful. Have a great upcoming week.

XLF $24.17: Forms a 6-month symmetrical triangle patternXLF has been consolidating within a 6-month symmetrical triangle pattern (from October 15, 2014 low and December 29, 2014 high). The key support lies at 23.78 (March 26, 2015 low), near the triangle lower bounds and the 200 day moving average currently at 23.64. While the 23.78/23.64 support area holds dips, if bulls manage to reclaim 24.54 decisively (April 16, 2015 high near the triangle upper bounds), that would suggest a triangle breakout and trigger further gains towards 24.78 (March 23, 2015 high) then 25.14 (December 29, 2014 record peak). However, a breakdown below the 23.64 support area would signal topping and weaken towards 22.89 (February 2, 2015 low). Outlook: Short term: neutral Long term: bullish while above the 200 day moving average
