XLV breakout? Watch retest, quite possibly a fakeout.Healthcare is mirroring 2015-2016's triangle breakout pattern here with an obvious move above the trendline. LOTS of people see this, and there are many people viewing this as a repeat of the post 2015 rebound. I'm not totally sold on that scenario however. 2015-2016's healthcare consolidation saw a lot of frauds busted and companies deflated. Currently, we do not really have that environment to rebound from aside from the pharma companies who are going to be taking hits for opioid litigation, and we're facing some major political headwinds. While I can see some recovery from opioid settlements, I don't think we're past that as a risk quite yet, and we're coming to face other risks from the political process.
With that said, I DO like healthcare. It tends to be less cyclical than other sectors, and unlike utilities & reit's, this defensive sector isn't going to kill you if we see a return to inflation / reflation at any point.
Watch the breakout for a retest, and keep an eye on what it does. Markets love to fake people out, especially when everyone and their mother is seeing a repeat of previous patterns in play.
XLV trade ideas
XLV - DAILY CHARTHi, today we are going to talk about Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF and its current landscape.
The opioid crisis has been plaguing the U.S at the most for nearly two years now. With scary numbers like the record of 47,600* overdose deaths caused by opioids in 2017 but the number seems to start slowdown since 2018 were the war against opioids gained some traction.
In the justice field, some companies have already faced some sort of rebuke for involvement and even a bit of responsibility for the opioid crisis. For example
*Jun 2019, Insys Therapeutics Inc. had to file for bankruptcy after being convicted for conspiring to bribe doctors to increase opioid sales, ending up in a deal with the federal government of $225 million.
* Aug 2019, Johnson & Johnson was obligated to pay $572 Million, as Oklahoma ruled that the company intentionally played down the dangers and oversold the benefits of opioids.
* Oct 2019, Johnson & Johnson was once more condemned by two counties of Ohio to pay $20.4 million, with the accusation of having helped the opioid crisis to spread.
Now, that several healthcare companies are under investigation by the Federal Prosecutors in Brooklyn, into whether the company intentionally permitted that flood of opioids on the community. For now the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York it's just issuing subpoenas, but if they case sticks we might see what the murders of Julius Caesar saw, a pile of fire and anger from the people, so big that like Caesar butchers that were cast out of the city, the companies involved on this process can be drowned in liabilities and fines with the risk to be so badly damaged that may have the same fate of Insys Therapeutics Inc.and might hit this ETF that holds great exposure in the sector. The war against opioids it's just poised to grow up as every justice department across the country and every candidate that it's next to run on elections its eager to hang this trophy on the wall.

EPISODE 4/11: US HEALTH CARE XLV SECTOR-TA(TREND ANALYSIS) 2019'EPISODE 4/11: US HEALTH CARE(XLV) SECTOR Technical Analysis - 16th of July 2019.
There is really not much to say. Profits in the health care sector are very reliable on the cycle. Since Trump took office, the cycle extended, and hence it formed a channel as noted in the analysis.
One major risk that has always affected the health care sector is regulation and political pressures . In the upcoming 2020 election, if the Democrats(pro-regulation) take office, there might be major implications to the health care sector.
In any case, 50 Quarterly/200 Monthly MA(Orange line) would be the Long-term Supports , in case the current bullish channel breaks. Structural supports are marked with Purple squares.
This is just a brief "free" and very detailed analysis. Perhaps in the future I might form a premium group, to whose members I will provide all the details of my research.

SPDR Healthcare Relative StrengthWhen SPDR Healthcare's relative strength (vs. S&P 500) and its 50MA are both above its 200MA, it signals S&P 500 is about to hit the top and drop.
When SPDR Healthcare's relative strength (vs. S&P 500) drops below its 50MA, it signals S&P 500 has bottomed out and will trend higher.
XLV recovering for SummerXLV pulled back sharply largely to do with a knee-jerk reaction to the Dems ‘Medicare for all’ (ie Europe-style government health service). Contrast this to the general Dec 2018 market collapse, and we see
- a 7.2% W1 rise
- a 50% W2 pullback
- a W3 repeating the move, and running to the 1.618 fib
The price carried on after December, but just anticipating a repeat of that move gives us an entry at 87.75 for 94.00. A 1.4% stop is comfortable (86.50) to give a 5:1 trade.
Healthcare is a typically strong summer defensive, and notably (on the daily chart), after the outlier of Dec 2018, kept in its long-term channel in the April collapse.
