- scottrades: $XLB Close to a weekly breakout.
- Westlund: Just started a position in $XLB
- phgruver: One of my biggest gainers, today, is $LOW, up over $7 (3.16%). This got me to looking at $HD, which is up a similar amount, and $XLB (materials) and $XHB (home builders). I think we are beginning to price in interest rate cuts in the near future.....
- scottrades: My notes: $SPY Trend is fine $QQQ Trend is fine $IWM 50 Day Support $TNX Watching $DXY Above the 200 Day $SMH Extended but working $XLK In trend $XLB New 2024 High $XBI New 2024 High $XLE Attempting a trend change $GLD Clear slope $AMD at the 8EMA $PANW Rebound $XOM Tightening up $ELF Working $ISRG Working $MSTR At the 8EMA $COIN Same $CELH Cup $SPOT Good if you’re long $FCX Tightening up $NEU Near the highs $DOW Watch for a PB

- DrScience: #Markets $QQQ has moved back above VWAP (which is good), but $SPY is approaching VWAP slo-o-o-ly. This bodes less well for a move through without some resistance. Breadth is still 2:1 negative, but the $VIX has fallen to a new low and $TICKs have turned bullish as sectors have improved greatly with only $XLV, $XLB and $XLRE down more than 1/2% since the open.
- DrScience: #Markets $SPY very mixed to start the week. A/D line is positive, but breadth is lackluster. The 4080 level in $SPX is again where the battle line is drawn. Early strength is threatening to turn back lower as heavyweight sectors $XLK and $XLV are dragging against lightweight sector strength in $XLB $XLE and $XLI.

Rockstar: ...
The sectors I am focusing in on long are $XLB, $XLE, $XLI, $XLP, $XLV, $XME and $ITB. The market has lost the $XLF, $XRT, $XLK,$SMH and certainly the FANG stocks. Months ago we were discussing how in a bearish market the bears hunt for the weakest ... -
Rockstar: ...
The metals closed above the 50 day EMA yesterday after testing monthly support so there is some potential here as well. I am watching $FCX here as it is forming a high base. The $XLB closed above the 50 day EMA and I am watching $FCX, $DOW and $NU ... -
Rockstar: ...
The ETF's are deteriorating as well. The market has already lost the $XLE although yesterday it seemed to put in a fight. Maybe it will build a base here and be an opportunity going forward. The $XLP, $XLV, $XLB, $XLU, $XME, and $TAN are all coming ... -
Rockstar: ...
So what do we do? A few of the leading ETF's have had substantial damage to their charts. $XLE,$XLF and $XLV all have been under pressure. The $XLB,$XLI,$TAN and $XLP are holding up well and I am looking at stocks in those sectors. I continue to se ... - Jazman0013: @Rockstar $SPY $VIX $XLE $XLF $XLV $XLB $XLI $TAN $XLP most the best trades were not taking them. The few winners were won by exiting with profit in hand and not overstaying. The disaster trades were failing to leave sooner than desired. This market takes no prisoners and has ample room for beatings in its wood warehouse…
- Rockstar: @Jazman0013 $SPY $VIX $XLE $XLF $XLV $XLB $XLI $TAN $XLP You are correct. Somebody bought at the highs, and many are trapped. I have been taken to the woodshed too many times. I am not interested in going there again
- Amisure: @Rockstar $SPY $VIX $XLE $XLF $XLV $XLB $XLI $TAN $XLP --Just a constructive thought----instead of calling officials clowns and incompetent as I see here so often------I'd rather see comments as to what one would do ---- and not with hindsight but with forward thinking. Please do not take offense.
- Rockstar: @Amisure $SPY $VIX $XLE $XLF $XLV $XLB $XLI $TAN $XLP No offense taken. Just look at their record. They have always reacted too late (both ways). I have been posting about the actions ever since i came on board. This is not in any way shape or form hindsight. Just go back and look at my posts about them and their actions. They are the one's that talked about "transitory inflation". I said when I first started that inflation was due to supply issues. It took them far too long to realize that and I am still not convinced they do.

Rockstar: ...
The $XLE fell apart last week as /CL pulled back by almost 10% for the week. I am not looking at any longs in this sector right now. The $XBI closed below its averages so no longs here either. The $XLB closed below the 8EMA Friday but above the ... -

So what do we do now? I am going to be letting the short puts I sold either expire today or receive delivery of some of the underlying stocks. I am okay either way and will let the trades work.

Many sectors continue to have a bullish outlook. The $XLF, $XLI,$XLB, $XME, $XLV, $TAN as well as a few other sectors, have developed into bullish charts and that is where I will focus for my longs. Some stocks that I am looking at are $UNH, $LOW, ... -

The $DIA and $IWM continue their strength with some strength in more than a couple ETF's. The ETF's that I am looking at long positions include $TAN, $XLF, $XLE, $XLB, $XLI, $XLP, $XLV, $XME,and $IYT. Of these, I am hesitant on the $XLE with oi ... - scottrades: My notes: $SPY / $QQQ Turkey Rally $DIA Working above the MAs $GDX Outperforming the GLD $TAN Base building $XLF Coming out of a flag $XLE Working $XLB Near resistance $IBB Flag #Bitcoin Everything thinks lower (including me), so it might not be. $NVDA Pullback Entry $ON Above the MAs. $MSFT Short Base $GOOGL Flag $AAPL Holding the 50 Day $META FLag $CEG Idea from Dan $ADM Working but extended. $CF Still in a base $ENPH Right at resistance $ARRY Working $RUN Holding the 8EMA $FSLR Working $KRTX Long flag $CPRX Dan added to ATL $WPM Own this $FNV Working $GOLD Nice strength $DINO Strong close $DEN Strong close $XOM At the highs

As for sectors, I am narrowing those that I like at the moment. The $XLE, which has been performing very well, is finding resistance at the previous double top highs and the /CL is looking like it wants to break down. At this point I fell I am t ... -
Rockstar: ...
The $XLE has made a new high this week, along with the $XLF reaching the August highs. The $SMH has recaptured the 618 retracement from the August highs and has closed above the 8EMA for 11 days now. I should have stayed long $NVDA and $ON , but I ... -
Rockstar: ...
I am looking at the $DIA and $IWM for longs. The sectors are $XLB,$XLE,$XLF,$XLV and I am eyeing the $SMH as well. I know that has more to do with the $QQQ's but that sector has shown some strength recently. The stocks I am looking at within thes ... -
Rockstar: ...
So what do we do now. We continue our top down approach by looking for the strong indices ($DIA and $IWM) and then look at the ETF's that are performing, and ultimately the stocks within those ETF's. I am focused on the $DIA components, the $XLE,t ... - Docoof: @Rockstar $SPY $DIA $IWM $QQQ $DXY $HYG $VIX $XLE $XLV $XBI $XLB $KO $KHC $TLRY $WEAT $PG $UNG $TMUS $DVN Helpful—Thank you, Rocky.

- maracom: All the $XLB base metals are looking the same. The 8,20, and 50 are clustering and some flags are forming and the 50 is shifting upwards, probably in preparation for an attempt at the 200. I've started small positions in $FCX, $AA, and I'll probably also start $CLF and see which one turns into a swing up to the 200 first (or which one falls out of bed first). See $CLF for example
- bla00109: $XOP below 200d MA $XLB way below averages and still in freefall $DBC ditto -- in free fall, next stop 200d MA ----Suggests that inflation projection might be overstated and @Rockstar probably correct in anticipating a tempering of QE and interest rate rising in the second half. I like his TLT trade in this respect. What do others think?

$XLB Above the 50 Day
$GLD At the 200 Day
$GBTC New Regulatory Framework proposed today, it’s all over the place but worth watching.
$AAPL Daily support at 144
$NVDA Should hold 181 in the short term.
$MSFT Short base under the 50 Day
$TSL ... - DrScience: #Markets $SPY An inside day and up was a nice start to today's trading but fell apart and hasn't recovered. The index tried to get some help and traded right up to VWAP before things broke down again just before the 2pm reversal period. While breadth on the NYSE and NASD both is positive, direction is non-existent, and negative TICKs are keeping the Bulls in check. All 11 sectors are down from the open, and while $XLB keeps trying to go positive, it's a lightweight in the broader market. Looks like another day trapped in last weeks' eleven-dollar range - 406.50ish to 417.50ish.
- wanda1616: @DrScience $SPY $XLB #Markets very boring but thats fine after the last 6 months. question: what are the ebb and flow times of the day in your opinion? if you could share briefly...thank you so much

- DrScience: $XLB They're comin' for those soft, shiny, and liquid metals again. Gold Silver, Al-u-min-ium, Steel and Oil
- champ: $SPY....if we only #knew... how the Markets were going to close today..... ......COVID...is slowing way down...is the current market News, on this nice Market move...... >>>> Could take a look at the #Sector-Tracker...and the $XLB materials sector, is currently leading all the ETFs higher today....and we all know why that is.....it is because the price of Commodities...are climbing, see what all of the stocks in that group, are currently doing today...and there are a lot of Stock-targets in that group, to take a look at.
- mopick: @champ $SPY $XLB #knew #Sector-Tracker, keep in mind the inflation figures come out this Friday. All eyes will be on this report.
- woodman: @champ $SPY $XLB #knew #Sector-Tracker - $XME $XRT $SOXX $XLF are top performers today. But the charts of XRT and SOXX, overall, aren't so hot.
- Viva_el_Vino: @mopick $SPY $XLB #knew #Sector-Tracker From https://www.bls.gov/cpi/ . "January 2022 CPI data are scheduled to be released on February 10, 2022, at 8:30 A.M. Eastern Time."
- champ: @mopick $SPY $XLB #knew #Sector-Tracker.....Yes sir.... the Daily Economic reports matter and I look at all of them, ahead of those reports and I pre-set-up off of them...however the only report on Friday that I see is Consumer Sentiment, the # is expect to be 67 and prior it was 67.2.........the CPI is on Thursday..... I look at all of those type of reports, a month ahead. Inflation works for certain sectors....but not for the over-all market or consumers. LOL
- champ: @woodman $SPY $XLB $XME $XRT $SOXX $XLF #knew #Sector-Tracker --- Yes exactly and metals are inside the $XLB sector and so is lumber and many other commodities,...there is a lot going on inside the $XLB.
- champ: @Viva_el_Vino $SPY $XLB #knew #Sector-Tracker.......Exactly......
- woodman: @champ $SPY $XLB $XME $XRT $SOXX $XLF #knew #Sector-Tracker - Good point. I tend to drill down more narrowly, for example at $XME (metals and mining) or various TC2000 industry areas (more specific than broad sectors), such as #BuildingMaterials, etc. But broad sectors are good to start with to see what is working then you can drill down further.
- champ: @woodman $SPY $XLB $XME $XRT $SOXX $XLF #knew #Sector-Tracker #BuildingMaterials...I'm watching those type of stocks....like $BLDR and others....however I have a #hand picked--List....that I watch.....and I'm working stocks in that sector...$XLB
- Ajax4Hire: So much of what I have(had) auto-sold via Stop-Loss over the last few weeks. Mostly in cash now and nothing looks good. Just back from "camping" on Fla peninsula where I ran away from cold/rain/sleet! Going to W.Disney World tomorrow with daughter and granddaughter tomorrow. I'm bummed my employees($DXY USD) are not working. And inflation eats that up. Nothing is green, nothing is attractive: $SPY $437.98 S&P500 ETF $XLK $154.33 TECHNOLOGY $XLV $129.47 SBI HEALTHCARE $XLY $180.42 SBI CONS DISCR $XLC $72.22 COMMUNICATION $XLF $38.20 FINANCIAL $XLI $101.20 SBI INT-INDS $XLP $75.96 SBI CONS STPLS; Maybe but boring. $XLU $68.84 SBI INT-UTILS; $XLRE $46.89 RL EST SEL SEC $XLB $84.04 SBI MATERIALS $XLE $62.45 ENERGY; Energy but also heading down. $XME $42.27 METALS MNG $XBI $90.03 BIOTECH $XRT $77.38 RETAIL

- bRobert: @DavidM $XME $XLB $FCX $CLF Technically they project similar moves with a weekly breakout 50% neighborhood Both will be winners
- DavidM: Assuming the #Infrastructure-Bill is going to pass, which does better, $XME or $XLB? I am already in $FCX but thought $CLF a broad based play would be worth adding.
- DavidM: @bRobert $XME $XLB $FCX $CLF Thanks. $XME is up much more that $XLB in the past year, I'll go with the stronger of the 2.
- champ: @DavidM $XME $XLB $FCX $CLF #Infrastructure-Bill ...Exactly, they will bounce and then the next major, back-up the Truck bounce, will happen when that nice Lady, who runs Congress... because she also needs to Bless this Bill and there will be so much pressure on her... that she will, thats the guess for all the stocks that are in this sector....for that "Back-up the Truck", News-event,... pre-plan.
- Roadrunner: @DavidM $XME $XLB $FCX $CLF #Infrastructure-Bill the top 7 out of 10 holdings in the $XLB are chemical companies...if it matters. $XME holdings closer to your reference for $FCX and $CLF
- champ: @champ $XME $XLB $FCX $CLF #Infrastructure-Bill --- This stock...$CARR...is also in this sector...because of Schools and Government buildings, they need to clean and filter the air,...need ventilation systems and was in that last Covid Bill and it will be in this one and the next one also.

There will be a time to get back in, maybe now, but the wait could be up to a month. Oh! There's always the AUG 35 Covered Call @ 31.80, but I see $27-30 before the dust settles.
- lostsheep: $OIH Up pre market and looking attractive on this pullback to prior highs. 229.32 as a recent low to shoot against and with black gold on it's continuous run higher, as @Forexpro mentioned, up .75c. Other than oil other inflationary indicators seem to have relaxed. $XLB $XME $ IYT $TNX lumber prices etc.... all seem to trust in the almighty Fed to thread the needle once again and emboldening them further.

- Forexpro: Re: Sectors Hi, Friends, As of 1:30 EDT, $XLP, $XLB and $XLE continue to look reasonably strong. Please pay no attention to the percentage numbers on the chart legends; they measure one bar relative to the one prior regardless of timeframe (in this case, just 3 minutes), an annoying StockCharts habit. Here's hoping that the session is treating you kindly; all the best!

Crazy days you said, I agree,..Weird...makes No-Sense...really hard to understand, all that is going on, borders, pipelines, schools....seems unreal, I must be dreaming. I'm fine and I hope you are doing the same.

DAN: ...
Look at $DBC, $XME, $XLE, $XLB. The basic materials have been doing up for quite a while. These are the inflation inflators!!
$TNX -- Continuing to rise.
$XME -- leading sector and breakout yesterday. Continuation today. Big volume.
$OIH -- als ... - Explorer: @bRobert $NAIL -- Took exposure in $XLB off 50DMA & 6X Vol per Day vs $NAIL that was already 8% above 50DMA -- did not check the underlying holdings of the EFT -- will do -- will likely give the error of my decision -- updates to follow....
- bRobert: @Explorer $NAIL $XLB It will work
- Explorer: @bRobert $NAIL $XLB - Eureka / "Nailed it" - 3X - why my handle is Explorer - Also found your $LABU reviewing Leveraged ETFs -- Thank Again
- bRobert: @Explorer $NAIL $XLB $LABU My. pleasure. You can use the non caffeinated ETFs for these trades. depending upon taste eg. $XBI $ITB. $XOP. etc.
- Explorer: $XLB -- Today -- Thru Resistance // Over Convergence of all Short Term DMAs // Above Avg Volume Last 2 Days
- DrScience: #WackyWillieWednesday Reminder that today is usually the day the big boys start rolling their front month options and adjust/reposition for the next monthly expiration cycle. Know when your companies report earnings. Worth noting: $XLE and $XLB had nice moves yesterday, but are backing and filling today. $XLI a bridesmaid, not quite ready for prime time. $XLU holding mid-term trend line. We're having some high winds, and downed power lines are causing issues. Had to fire up the ol' generator as Back-UPS drained. 🤪
- agiaccag: @DrScience $XLE $XLB $XLI $XLU #WackyWillieWednesday What state? Cold here in MI. slight warm up to 36F today . Balmy.
