XLC Signals & Forecast
The Communication Services Select Sector ETF holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general buy signal from the relation between the two signals where the short-term average is above the long-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $81.49 and $79.77. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume fell during the last trading day despite gaining prices. This causes a divergence between volume and price and it may be an early warning. The ETF should be watched closely. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, March 22, 2024, and so far it has fallen -0.0367%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

Trading Expectations (XLC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Thursday 28th
For the upcoming trading day on Thursday, 28th we expect Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund to open at $81.60, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $80.85 and $82.73, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.94 (+/-1.15%) up or down from last closing price.
