Technology ETF (XLK)rose above its 50-day SMA on 8/4/2026, signaling a renewed bullish
uptrend. The main trend remains bullish as long as the 50-day SMA stays above
the 200-day SMA. Look for resistance near 182 and 198. Support sits around the recent
lows above 166 and 156-160. Fundamentally, there is no evidence of a slowdown
in demand for technology. Overinvestment concerns that have been persistent
since the June peaks appear to be easing following very strong earnings reports.

Analysis of market forces may offer a sense of probabilities. But the many variables that can impact market prices are notoriously difficult to predict. Sound trading tactics are always recommended. See my Money Management Rules.
According to CFTC Rule 4.41, hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
