XLE; Sector Energy ETF

May 7, 2017 by Don Roth

We recently closed out of XLE for a modest gain.

Price is now at a better support level to get long again. The monthly chart from the low in 2002 shows good primary support; the upwards sloping green trend line.

The weekly chart confirms this price zone as a valid support level as well.

The other good news is the talk on the Street is lower energy prices. This is also a good sign. This is as good an entry as we are going to get.

First target is $71. Risk is under green trend line. I’m buying XLE on Monday morning.

Trade Smart,

Don
