XLV Healthcare ETF Monthly Chart; Overbot; Negative Divergence; Double-Top; Upper Band Violation; Price Extended; Long-Term Top At Hand

The communications and healthcare sectors were the big winners in Q2 staging sharp rallies to new record highs. XLV is the healthcare ETF forming a double-top, or M Top. The RSI, stochastics and money flow are overbot or coming off overbot levels agreeable to a pullback. The red lines show negative divergence in play across all indicators so an epic top is formed. The current highs in XLV will likely not be seen again for many months or years.

The neggie d spankdown during February and March was a long-term top. There was no reason for price to come back up for another high, except, rich Uncle Fed printing more money and that is what happened in late March. Boooiiinnnggg. Stocks pop on more easy money creating the matching highs and double-top. Nothing has changed. The Federal Reserve has only served to dig a deeper hole for itself and the country. The red lines show universal neggie d as price makes a matching and higher high so this is another top on the monthly chart and long-term failure would be expected. XLV will move sideways to sideways lower for the foreseeable future. 

The pink box shows XLV in its strong upward trend from 2013 through 2018 that is six long years ruling the roost, but that petered out. The 3-month rally higher right now is not a strong trend higher as per the ADX. The Aroon negative cross from February/March remains in play and signals weakness ahead. Check out that huge volume candle at the March lows. Price will need to come down to take a look at that level again. Price is above its moving averages so a mean reversion lower is on the table.

Price has violated the upper band so the middle band at 92, which is also the 20 MA, is on the table and the lower band at 81 (bands not shown on the chart). There is lots of price support at the 85-ish level so price may seek that as initial support. As the year plays out into 2021, do not be surprised to see XLV fail at 85-ish and then seeks the 60-70 landing zone. Keystone does not own XLV long or short but will look to short it going forward.
