Safe to say that post 2014 (and even earlier) the renewables have become a serious competition to the traditional part of the XLE sector(coal/gas/oil).

Crucial note: Breaking of the black trendline, could symbolize the start of a recession as this would mean that inflation expectation have decreased.

In any case, this is just a brief analysis, everything is on the chart. There's really not much to say, XLE hasn't performed well in the last 5 years(blue text) compared to other sectors.

Seems that 80-81$ is the central resistance here. Anything below 80$-75$ I would consider a bearish or poor performing market.
