Retail (XRT) Dropping Quickly

Retail (XRT) Dropping Quickly

It’s been rocky for the SP500 and particularly rocky for some industry groups and sectors. The market does appear ready to give us a good bounce, but past that we aren’t overly bullish.

Tariff talk has really pummeled the Retail (XRT) industry group and we don’t see much relief in sight. The daily chart below doesn’t even show the next level of support. Friday saw a good bounce but it wasn’t enough to really improve the under the hood indicators.

Participation is anemic with all readings below our bullish 50% threshold. It will be very difficult to turn this decline around when so few stocks have price above their key moving averages. The Silver Cross Index is at a very low 16% and the Golden Cross Index is below our bullish 50% threshold. Both the Silver and Golden Cross Indexes are below their signal lines and falling so the IT and LT Bias is BEARISH. The PMO is at an extremely low reading below the zero line. We don’t see much upside available to XRT. Even if we do get a bounce, overhead resistance is very near at 69.

The weekly chart shows a bearish rising wedge that executed as expected with a drop below the rising bottoms trendline. The weekly PMO is accelerating lower. It has landed on a strong support level, but given that weekly PMO we have to wonder if this level will hold.

Conclusion: Tariff talk is taking its toll on the Retail industry group and a trade war isn’t out of the question. This will continue to put downside pressure on this group. Key support has been reached on the weekly chart, but given indicators on both the daily and weekly charts, it doesn’t look that sturdy.
