Green day on Friday for Communication Services Select Sector ETF after gaining 1.56%
(Updated on Jul 31, 2026)
The Communication Services Select Sector ETF price gained 1.56% on the last trading day (Friday, 31st Jul 2026), rising from $106.58 to $108.24. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 1.68% from a day low at $106.61 to a day high of $108.40. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -2.18% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -4 million shares and in total, 5 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $538.17 million. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The ETF lies in the middle of a falling trend in the short term and further fall within the trend is signaled. Given the current short-term trend, the ETF is expected to fall -7.97% during the next 3 months and, with a 90% probability hold a price between $93.52 and $102.59 at the end of this 3-month period. Do note, that if the ETF price manages to stay at current levels or higher, our prediction target will start to change positively over the next few days as the conditions for the current predictions will be broken.
XLC Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The Communication Services Select Sector ETF holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the ETF giving a more negative forecast for the ETF. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $109.42. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $107.62. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, July 23, 2026, and so far it has risen 2.71%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. 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.

Trading Expectations (XLC) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 3rd
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 3rd we expect Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund to open at $107.75, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $107.20 and $109.28, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$2.08 (+/-1.94%) up or down from last closing price. If Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 1.94% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $109.46 (1.13%) than the support at $106.58 (1.53%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
