“askSlim Market Week Brief 09/11/26 - Analysis of Financial Markets”
$XLFBullish
XLF overall trend is very strong with likely new highs ahead, but short-term technicals indicate a potential pullback or trading range before further upside.

Let's jump over now to the XLF. Okay, so this is the XLF and let's pop this over too. And you can see on the intermediate term for the XLF, it is neutral. Shortterm, uh, it is slightly bearish there for the MCM.

Let's see what's going on on the chart. 914 to around 112 rising phase that has been going on for a while. But look at that very subtle turn here in the RS on the weekly time frame, giving you some signs of stalling at least.

Here we are so far holding above this old high at 5652. If it can lose that level, we we're going to be looking for a little bit lower. But look at the overall translation. Very very very strong.

And and it indicates we are likely going to see new highs still here coming up in the XLF. Uh possibly after a little bit lower. We'll have to see. Shortterm there is a low that is due 911 to around 9:24. uh you know obviously a very strong uptrend that is now transitioning to more of a trading range.

You can see that right there. So we're going to be watching for a little bit lower possibly and then another pop and you have to watch that closely. If that fails early and then rolls down, well, that would have us look at that next low, which is due if we have our pointer out here right around the middle part of October, or if it sells off and starts to move quickly back towards the 78.6 fib of this high to that low, well, that would raise the odds that you're seeing an intermediate term trough form here.

So, again, always think about both sides of that play. And obviously we will be watching this closely for our level three and four members uh for opportunities.

“REPLAY - US Stock Market SPX & NDX Cycle & Chart Analysis With Projections”
$XLFNo side taken
XLF faces a short-term decline (approx. 2 weeks) from record highs that will be shallow, leading to a bullish outlook for Q4.

Let's take a look at XLF, and of course , we know that the financial sector is very important. Based on the same analysis, the decline is likely to continue for another two weeks .

This did not want to go down at all , in fact. When you see that, and when you look at this analysis, it is indeed a record high. This means that when it drops, it will not reach these lower levels.

And when that ends, again, in the fourth quarter , that's a bullish sign.

XLF decline continues for two weeks; trend turns upward in Q4.

Let's take a look at XLF, and of course we know that the financial sector is extremely important. Based on the same analysis, the decline is likely to continue for another two weeks .

In fact, this did not want to decrease at all. When you see that, and then look at this analysis, you will find that it has indeed reached a higher peak.

“The Sector Rotation Just Changed. Here’s What’s Leading”
$XLFBullish
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.

“Stock Market & Crypto Analysis for Week Ending 8/21/26”
$XLFNo side taken
XLF is in a normal pullback, not a breakdown; a close above 57.70 would turn it neutral on the intermediate term, and a normal pullback could bring it down to around $55.80-$56.

Financial stocks, they're starting to show a little bit of profit taking, and as I pointed out on Trader TV earlier this week, you know, they broke the 5-day moving average and they made a lower low.

Now, they're stuck below the 5-day moving average, and if they can get back above 57.70 and close there, then it turns them more neutral on the intermediate term. But unless if if they get stuck below this declining 5-day moving average, then I think you've got a pretty decent chance that a normal pullback it wouldn't destroy these things at all.

That's the earliest record
