Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared in a blog post by Dana Lyons (@JLyonsFundMgmt). It’s a weekly candlestick chart of the Utilities sector ETF, ($XLU) going back to 2017. In the note, Lyons points out that Utilities recently completed a 16-month cup & handle formation and broke out of key resistance at $57. He adds that price has been consolidating above this former resistance level. Lyons thinks the $57 level will now act as support and should provide a good entry into a sector that’s been showing relative strength.
