How StockCharts TV’s view on $XLF changed

“The Sector Rotation Just Changed. Here’s What’s Leading”
XLF is a positive outlook, an outperformer, with relative strength above 100 and price holding above breakout; upside potential once overhead resistance breaks.

And then we come to stocks to stock sectors. And my oh my, for the first time since a long period, XLK is not the only sector on the right hand side. Has been joined by health care and financials, XLV and XLF.

Then, we have financials. That's a sector that's really in a good space. Despite the fact that we're losing a little bit momentum after crossing into the leading quadrant. That sector has been doing really well.

We had it at improving already for a couple of weeks and you now see it's crossed over into the leading quadrant losing a little bit of momentum but still moving higher on the RS ratio scale and that loss of momentum so far has not been devastating yet.

So I'm pretty comfortable putting this on a green outlook on a positive outlook.
