XLF trade ideas

XLF Short Set Up Following this retracement there is a chance the XLF will push lower to test the established support area. There's no way no where the top of the current swing will be, but I like to enter these patterns using a set up on a smaller timeframe which allows me to place a much tighter stop-loss and maximizing my R. I wont enter the trade until I see a set up on a smaller timeframe, and if price action reaches the invalidation point, the trade idea is reevaluated. Not a recommendation.

XLF Long XLF Analysis done on daily candles. The financial sector has been one of the more resilient sectors on the stock market in 2022, with most stocks managing to hold their key levels and not declining as severely as major markets. When analyzing bank stock performances, we see that they have lagged way behind many other industries since the Covid crash in recovery, but this year may bring change to that. With interest rates expected to increase starting in March, banks and other financial companies are projected to benefit from this monetary policy change. We’ve been primarily focused on the XLF ETF to gauge overall health in the financial sector; this is an ETF (exchange traded fund) that holds assets such as Berkshire Hathaway, JPMorgan, Back of America…etc. Keeping an eye on this ETF is critical if you’re interested in trading or investing in the financial sector considering it allows you to see how the overall industry is performing. Keep in mind that banks are known to be slow movers, so their breakouts may not be as robust as a tech stock breakout would be, but the patient will be rewarded in the long run.

$XLF long idea in a higher rate environmentWith the Federal Reserve announcing rate hikes starting in March, financials should prosper. Higher interest rates ($TNX) means that it costs more to borrow money which is a bullish sign for banks. The economy is also not showing any signs of slowing down, commodities continue to move higher and job reports signal a strong economy. This can be translated to assuming that consumer spending will not slow down; low supply on high demand shows that they will continue to spend and borrow money. Also, if we look at Treasury Bonds ($TLT), we see some serious selling even though the Federal Reserve continues to purchase. This could lead to a stronger Dollar ($DXY) and a move from growth equities ($ARKK, $QQQ) into cash or savings accounts. During rate hikes, history shows an inflow into companies with high cash reserves, cash flow, and high dividends. The technical side of $XLF shows relative strength while indices continue to fall. On the weekly timeframe, we can see a clear bull flag pattern that has broken out and if we close above $40 today, we have confirmation. MACD shows a bullish crossover is near and RSI is healthy. Targets are 43, 45 and 47. OptionsSwing Analyst Daniel Betancourt

financials sector enjoying a lead on indices (XLF)XLF is one of the instruments whose sectore had a larger terminal upthrust than others, and is enjoying a more sizeable bounce than others after the current peak in volatility. big names like V, PYPL and BAC are putting up enoughbof a struggle to say that they have tolerance to attract inflow from key players (sm, mm, tutes, pros). it will be interesting to see if we can confirm a higher low before tech returns to help carry the market, making way for a larger comeback that could enjoy a solid outperformance on indices; at least for the time being.
