XLV trade ideas
MACRO VIEW: XLV LOOKING GOOD, TESTING 5-YEAR UPTRENDHealth Care SPDR ETF is looking good on long term basis, testing its 5-year uptrend
On long term basis - XLV is trading firmly in 10 year uptrend (above 1st upper standard deviation from 10-year mean), but due to the recent August selloff the price is now testing its 5-year uptrend. If the price holds above the fist upper standard deviation from 5-year mean, the test will be passed, and the price will likely trend upwards from there.
On short term basis - XLF shows no particular trend, it is trading within 1st standard deviations from both 1-year and quarterly means. It is a positive moment, as nothing on the short term stands in the way of long term trends.
XLV ShortYou can thank that little price hiking hedge fund manager and people like Bill Ackman for the Healthcare/Pharmaceutical correction. Looking at the weekly using Fibs as reference points i believe healthcare over the next few months will begin to sell. I have a target of the 1.618 extension of 59.76 and a second target of 53.31. I'm using XLV to short because everything else is too expensive... you can play this through ITM puts or buy a longterm out of the money put at a 62 or 60 strike for next year.
