Has the Energy Sector Hit the Wall?

Today we look at the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE) and ask whether the energy sector has hit the wall.

The XLE is one of the most active industry sector ETFs with a 50 day moving average of 95 million shares.  It tracks a market-cap weighted index of US energy companies in the S&P 500.

In the big decline from the peak in June 2014 to the low in January 2016, XLE smashed thru a major uptrend line from the 2002 low, in July 2015. It pulled back to it last November but then quickly fell away.

It has had a big move up off the January low, but running into significant resistance at 72.0. It has not broken down yet.  Watch for consecutive closes below the 10 week ema and then for the 10 ema to cross below the 21 sma.  Look at September 2014 and June 2015 for good examples.
