ETF Trade Watch
Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU)
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY)
The current pullback may have a little more to go, or it may end right away, depending on how the coming earnings announcements and FOMC meeting of this week go. Regardless, Utilities lead in weak markets, Discretionary performs well otherwise. The above patterns signal what could be some continued bullishness through the week. Instead of predict the turn, I advise simply play what’s in front of you.
So, depending on how it all unfolds throughout the rest of the week, traders might want to keep both the XLU and the XLY on their watchlist today.
