XLF $XLF Initial LongXLF $XLF Initial Long. This is a pure momentum signal just as are every other signal I post. ZERO other factors are considered in producing this signal.

Run Play Choices are Zone, Gap or MAN!XLF bounced in a big way in Wednesday Trading stopping a multi-week selloff.
On the 4HR I see a Head and Shoulder with a profit target up to 2021 highs.
On the 30 minute I see a double bottom form.
Which leads to a Cup and Handle
Put them all together and you have a solid trading plan to ride XLF up to top of channel.

My bias right now is bearish which conflicts with this idea playing out.

Is XLF on a downtrend?I believe that XLF has potential to touch $32.34 if it breaks $34 and may even retrace back to $30.20. Have patience and wait for it to break 20dma. Huge potential for profits from puts. It may happen in next week or two. Not a financial advice and as always please do your own DD.
XLF- Remain Bearish Banks always have it the worse and always have the hardest time breaking out or getting in control, not sure what banks are holding crypto at that which could of been a big mistake as 2020 and 2021 most banks opened up their crypto portfolios and bought it up as well as real estate and fed rates affect the banks the most as they need to swap money nightly with other banks at extremely high rates now. giving it strong aspect well hit my next short target.
XLF- Lower lows comingLower lows are coming, the trend is noticeably clear, and the economy is even more clear... it takes about 2 days or so to get the pump we need and then take profits breaking every stock down little by little... what's crazy is that were really going to get these cheap prices again we saw in 2020...
XLF- needs some heavy support hereBanks have been selling off since the beginning of mid-January and could have some more bleeding to do as well... also, we must take in the fact the banks are invested in to BTC & ETH and other crypto's as well and could be losing in the realm as well and smart money knows that, heavy heavy puts on the banks side... and we see citadel is handing them with the crypto as we saw Luna terra crash over the week. Low P:E ratios are about the only thing attractive in these bank stock prices but again they were the first to give out earnings and that's old news by now.
