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 stock. On further gains, the ETF will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $80.96. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $79.88. 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, April 25, 2024, and so far it has risen 2.76%. 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 29th
For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 29th we expect Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund to open at $79.94, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $78.68 and $81.54, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$1.43 (+/-1.79%) 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 3.58% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.
Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $80.14 (0.04%) than the support at $79.74 (0.46%), 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.
