XLK, the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF has gained +31.54% over the past year, advancing +32.99% from their 52-week low in December of 2023 & sitting just -0.04% below their 52-week high (all figures exclude distributions).
This has been an interesting year for technology related stocks, as the AI craze has caused a lot of the market’s upward movement, causing investors & speculators to dive into the market in hopes of not missing the boat.
With high flying names such as Apple Inc. (AAPL), NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), Salesforce Inc. (CRM), Oracle Corp. (ORCL), Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO), Adobe Inc. (ADBE), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) & ServiceNow Inc. (NOW) it is easy to see how they’ve enjoyed such a strong year, given that these names have dominated financial media & headlines for 2024.
Given how close XLK is to its all time high it is worth checking in to see how market participants have behaved at their recent price levels in order to assess the strength or weakness of their current support levels in the event of a downside retest on the horizon.
Below is a brief technical analysis of XLK, as well as a price level:volume sentiment analysis of the price levels XLK has traded at over the ~2 years.
Included in this data is also their recent support & resistance levels so that readers can gain insight into how strong/weak these support/resistance levels may be in the future, based on past investor behavior.
It is not intended to serve as financial advice, but rather as an additional tool to reference while performing your own due diligence on XLK.
XLK, The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF’s Technical Performance Broken Down
Their RSI is currently trending back down towards the neutral mark & sits at 63.9 after approaching the overbought level & their MACD is bullish but beginning to curl over bearishly today after yesterday’s gap up session.
Volumes were -33.52% below the previous year’s average over the past week & a half (3,758,571.43 vs. 5,654,110.67), as investors have become very skittish near their all-time high which was set on yesterday following a +1.83% gap up.
Last Monday kicked the shortened holiday week off on a bearish note when prices opened higher than Friday’s close, but throughout the day trended lower, eventually testing the support of the 10 day moving average before closing above it.
Tuesday’s session produced a harami cross, indicating that there was uncertainty around XLK’s price on a light volume session.
Wednesday opened on a gap lower, broke down through the 10 DMA’s support & approached the 50 DMA’s support but did not test it, instead rallying to close just below the 10 day moving average the day before Thanksgiving.
Friday naturally produced the lowest volume session of the past week & a half as it was a half day after a holiday, but XLK was able to open at the 10 DMA, test lower briefly, before powering through it & closing in the window created the day prior.
Monday continued the rally for XLK, as did Tuesday as the day’s lows were all ascending & above the 10 day moving average’s support.
Yesterday’s gap up session will be worth keeping an eye on in the coming days, particularly given that today’s session seems ready to close in a bearish harami formation, which would signal that there will likely be a closing of the window on the near-term horizon.
It will also be worth watching volume in the near term, as there will need to be some extra participation to continue marching XLK higher, and watching volume trends will make it easier to gauge when profits will be taken if prices are unable to continue higher.
The section below lays out how the buyers & sellers have met at each price level XLK has traded at over the past ~2 years.
While it is not indicative of future performance, history repeats itself & or rhymes & this can be used as a barometer to anticipate how market participants may behave when faced with these price levels again.
Price Level:Volume Sentiment Analysis For XLK, The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund ETF
The top table below shows the support & resistance levels of XLK from the past year’s chart, as well as their price level:volume sentiment at each from data covering the past ~2 years, using Wednesday 11/20/24’s mid-session price for their price & moving averages/other technicals.
The moving averages are denoted with bold.
The next charts show the volume sentiment at each individual price level XLK has traded at over the past ~2 years.
Beneath them is a copy & pasteable list of the same data, where the support/resistance levels are denoted in bold.
All ratios with “0” in the denominator are denoted with a “*”.
NULL values are price levels that had limited trading volume, whether it be due to gaps, quick advances or they are at price extremes; in the event that they are retested & there is more data they would have a distinct “Buyers”, “Sellers” or “Even” title.
This is not intended as financial advice, but rather another tool to consider when performing your own research & due diligence on XLK.

*** THE LIST ABOVE IS STRICTLY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES – I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE OR INITIATE A LONG, SHORT, OR LONG/SHORT POSITION IN ANY NAME ABOVE AT ANY TIME ***
SPY, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF added +1.67% this past week, while the VIX closed at 15.24 indicating an implied one day move of +/-0.96% & an implied one month move of +/-4.41%.
Their RSI is trending upward towards the overbought level again, currently sitting at 61.66, while their MACD is signaling that it’s poised for an early week bullish crossover before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Volumes were still weak, coming in -26.49% below the prior year’s average level (44,300,000 vs. 60,260,437), as market participants are still feeling a bit uneasy near these all-time high price levels.
The week started off on a optimistic, but uncertain note, as Monday’s session resulted in a spinning top that formed a bullish harami pattern with Friday’s candle on very light volume.
Tuesday opened lower but powered higher to form a bullish engulfing pattern with Monday’s candle & the volume was a bit higher, but still not the level of enthusiasm that is needed to continue to a new all-time high.
Wednesday’s session resulted in a dragonfly doji, indicating uncertainty given that it retraced the entire range of the prior day’s candle, but ultimately the day was able to close higher at the top of the session’s candle by the open.
Thursday opened on a gap up in line with the 10 day moving average’s resistance, tried higher but ultimately retraced below the close of Wednesday’s session before rallying back to close as a doji candle by the 10 DMA.
Friday opened in line with Thursday’s close but was able to close slightly higher, although indicating hesitancy & uncertainty as the low volume session closed as a spinning top candle.
This week it should be kept in mind that there are only 3.5 trading days, as Thursday is Thanksgiving & the market is closed & Friday is a half day.
Wednesday has a lot of data announcements & there are some earnings calls scheduled for early in the week that may impact SPY’s performance.
With that in mind, SPY looks primed to straddle the 10 DMA & trade around it on light, holiday week volume.
It is unlikely to get the volume needed to force a retest of the all-time high that sits ~1% above Friday’s close & if it was unable to be reached last week it seems less likely to happen on a short week when folks are traveling.
To the downside it will be interesting to see how the $590/share level holds up, given Tuesday’s close there & Wednesday’s doji candle resting right above it, but should it test any lower the chart below lists SPYs price level:volume sentiment over the past ~2 years.
SPY has support at the $593.01 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*), $586.12 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.4:0*), $583.86 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.86:1) & $579.21/share (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.1:1) price levels, with resistance at the $600.17/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price level.
QQQ, the Invesco QQQ Trust ETF that tracks the NASDAQ 100 gained +1.86% last week, as investors were slightly more eager to pile into the tech heavy index than the S&P 500 components.
Their RSI is trending above the neutral level of 50 & sits at 56.45 but has flattened out recently, while their MACD is bearish but showing signs of a potential bullish crossover before the end of the week if the histogram shows weakness on Monday or Tuesday.
Volumes were the weakest of the major index ETFs, coming in -27.27% below the previous year’s average level (27.928,000 vs. 38,399,048), as investors are still not feeling confident about hopping back into the pool so close to all-time highs.
QQQ’s week began on a similar note to SPY’s with Monday’s candle forming a bullish harami with Friday’s & closing as a spinning top on low volume, indicating that there was a bit of uncertainty in the air.
Tuesday opened lower but was able to close higher, ending the day forming a bullish engulfing pattern with Monday’s candle, but again on weak volume.
Wednesday opened lower & tested lower than Tuesday’s lows, but was able to close in line with the open as a dragonfly doji, indicating that there was still a little upside appetite, but that people were taking profits throughout the day too.
Thursday opened on a gap higher to just beneath the resistance of the 10 day moving average, tested almost as low as Wednesday’s session’s low, but was able to rally higher to form a hanging man candle that closed lower than it opened on the highest volume session of the week.
It appears that a lot of market participants were taking profits those two days based on how low they tested, but bulls managed to push their closing prices back to the high end of the days’ ranges.
Friday left the week off on a note of bearish uncertainty for QQQ, as while the session advanced +0.16%, it resulted in a spinning top candle that was unable to break above the resistance of the 10 DMA, which has now curled over & is moving downward towards the price.
Much like SPY, QQQ is unlikely to make a run at their all-time high this week due to the short week & anticipated low volume that accompanies a holiday.
They’re likely to trade around the 10 DMA on light volume all week, pending no major news or bad data releases occur.
In the event of decline, QQQ has more local support levels than SPY which may control the rate of descent, but should that happen investors should begin watching for a bearish head & shoulders pattern, particularly given their 10 DMA is even looking like one.
QQQ has support at the $502.81 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 2:0*), $501.35 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 2:0*), $494.49 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 17.25:1) & $493.70/share (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 17.25:1) price levels, with resistance at the $506.17 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) $515.58/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
IWM, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF advanced +4.5% last week, as investors were eager to pile into the small cap index compared to the other three major index ETFs.
Their RSI is trending towards the overbought 70 level & currently sits at 64.85, while their MACD crossed over bullishly on Friday, but the histogram level is quite low which leaves room for skepticism on the strength of the crossover.
Volumes were also weak, coming in -20.59% below the prior year’s average level (26,200,000 vs. 32,994,484), as even small cap investors are feeling nervous near their all-time high.
Monday kicked the week off with bullish uncertainty, as the session created a bullish harami cross with Friday’s candle on some of the week’s highest volume.
Bullish engulfing Tuesday also hit IWM, as despite opening on a gap down the bulls came back & force the session to close above the high of Monday’s session.
Wednesday’s candle would be described as a hanging man if it occurred in an actual uptrend & not in the wake of a two day reversal, but market participants showed that there was still plenty of negative sentiment in the air, given the size of the lower shadow.
Thursday opened higher, signaled that there was some downside sentiment (or near-term profit taking) on the lower shadow, but was able to power through the 10 day moving average & close above it as there was a lot of advancing volume relative to every day that week but Monday.
Friday opened on a gap higher, briefly tested lower but the $235/share mark held strong & propelled IWM to close higher for a +1.85% gain on the day.
This week will be focused on whether or not the support of the 10 day moving avera
IWM has support at the $233.84 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*), $227.85 (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 2:1), $227.17 (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 2:1) & $226.40/share (Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 2:1) price levels, with resistance at the $242.39/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
Their RSI is trending towards overbought & currently sits at 65.96, while their MACD crossed over bullishly on Friday, but the histogram level is rather muted, calling to question the strength of the signal.
Volumes were +28.8% above the previous year’s average (4,492,000 vs. 3,487,619), as investors were still feeling eager to get into the component names of the blue chip index.
Monday began the week on a note of muted uncertainty, as the day resulted in a doji candle for a slight decline on very weak volume.
Tuesday opened on a major gap down, but throughout the session bulls came in & were able to force the closing price above the open, but still for a declining session.
Wednesday was a tug of war between bulls & bears after opening on a gap up, as there was still plenty of bearish sentiment out there based on the size of the candle’s lower shadow, but the day managed to rally higher.
This set up the highest volume session of the week on Thursday, where the day opened on a gap up, there was some profit taking based on the lower shadow before powering through the 10 DMAs resistance to close above it.
The upper shadow on the day’s candle also indicated that there were market participants interested in seeing DIA continue its climb, which is what happened on Friday as another gap up session left DIA within $1.44 of its all-time high.
Based on the high volume heading into the weekend & the recent MACD bullish crossover it appears that DIA will at least break above its all-time high this week.
This brings with it a set of problems though, as once the oscillators overheat there will be profit taking from that batch of high volume we saw on Thursday & Friday & there are not that many nearby support levels for DIA.
In the event of a new ATH there would be support at $444.60 & at where ever the 10 day moving average winds up by then, as it will continue marching higher along with the price.
Another key area to keep an eye on in the event of a decline is that window that was created by the post-election gap up, as if the $429.64/share support level breaks down that will likely begin to fill, especially if prices enter the $424-427.99/share zone where Sellers have outpaced Buyers at a rate of 1.67:1 over the past 3-4 years.
DIA has support at the $437.68 (10 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*), $432.94 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 0.6:0*), $429.64 (Volume Sentiment: Buyers, 1.4:1) & $426.62/share (50 Day Moving Average, Volume Sentiment: Sellers, 1.67:1) price levels, with resistance at the $444.60/share (All-Time High, Volume Sentiment: NULL, 0:0*) price levels.
