“The Big 3: TGT, XLU, AAPL”
$XLUBullish
Bullish on XLU due to expected rotation from tech; targeting 41-45 range via call spread.

Uh but I want to move uh to your next one, Don. You've got the utility sector ETF from State Street here as your second pick. So how are you looking at utilities?

Yeah, this is actually going to be a bullish trade, but it's it's bullish for all the right bearish reasons, if you will. Look, tech starts to sell off at all. And it has had an amazing run.

I believe that we're going to see a rotation back into XLU.

Avoid buying XLU dip; valuation is expensive relative to history and yield is uncompetitive against Treasuries, leading to dead money or further decline.

This is a State Street Utilities Select Sector Spider ETF or XLU. It's sort of shorthand for how the sector is doing. I'm going to tell you, I will not buy this dip. I don't like it.

I don't like what it represents. I don't like how it acts. It's in no man's land.

so to make the case I'm making is not every dip is buyable. I don't like this one. I think at best you have dead money and at worst this could get way worse.

XLU is oversold (RSI 25); suitable for a quick speculative buy by bold investors.

As for the utilities sector, specifically the XLU group, we are seeing a significant decline, which clearly indicates oversold conditions. So, as you can see, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 25.

For bold investors, you can make a quick speculative move on some stocks that may later come out of this oversold condition, but are certainly among the weakest sectors in the group.

XLU performs poorly in rising interest rate environments due to its dependence on low rates.

The State Street Utility Sector Spider ETF or XLU tracks the utility sector responsible for the power generation required by AI infrastructure.

That XLU chart is some ugly. I thought you were supposed to be safe. uh in not I don't really think that's the case in uh interest uh rate raising environments because they're so uh dependent on on rates being low.

$XLUNo side taken
XLU may rebound due to data center power demand, but old school utilities lack capacity, making the rebound uncertain.

Uh [snorts] XLU down 10% but don't they need the power for data centers? Maybe rebound coming. There's the belief there, but uh think about the capacity they have already. So, the old school utilities, and I'm going to sort of dissect them here.

Old school utilities, they're not already doing this. They're not preparing for that. They can't handle all this extra at the moment. So, could there be something there? I don't know, but right now, think about it.

Like, if Texas so much as has a hot day, they're like, "Everybody just don't turn your air on, you know?" They don't do that in Florida cuz well, we're smart, but the uh

“The Sector Rotation Just Changed. Here’s What’s Leading”
$XLUBearish
Utilities are underperforming with a clear breakdown and relative strength weakness, indicating more downside potential.

And then we have utilities, which is doing the same. So, that's also moving to an underperformer, and it's now one of the weakest sectors in this whole universe. You can see also that it started to move up, but it didn't make it into the improving quadrant.

It rolled over and curled back even with a negative heading right now.

That's the earliest record
