XBI - Chart Link- it's retraced quite a bit off
that move early this week, now slightly below the 61.8% Fib
retracement.
If it's going to reverse back higher again this is the area
buyers need to step in, otherwise it's vulnerable to testing the
lows or going to that longer term weekly support at 100
also regarding the symmetry break I'll use this as an
educational comment: we got the symmetry break on the 60 min on
Monday and the nice rally. As far as symmetry break regarding a
higher low - technically you got one at that 113.7 pullback, then
you got a bounce back to test that high. Sometimes that's all you
get on symmetry breaks just a small higher low or lower high before
price goes back into the trend. Also, as I've mentioned, for
symmetry breaks on the long side I typically just buy vs waiting
for that pullback, because I've found you get momo going and you
might not get your higher low for a bit. Symmetry breaks to the
downside seem to be more prone to the immediate bounce and lower
high.
Anyway XBI could still form a stronger higher low down here, but
like I said it needs to get its butt moving and that previous
higher could have been it. It may also not and go and take out he
lows - remember the support from the weekly chart is around the
$100 area
Been watching this one close, was able to trade it recently with
LABU (3x etf). The performance history has been down years followed
by up years. I'm watching for entry like many others. The big
companies are relying on these smaller ones for growth and
valuations are much more reasonable now:
