XLK Signals & Forecast
There are mixed signals in the ETF today. The THE TECHNOLOGY SELECT SECTOR SPDR FUND 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 $204.82. On a fall, the ETF will find some support from the short-term average at $196.56. 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.

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Friday, April 19, 2024, and so far it has risen 3.75%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found.
