Chart of the Day
🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by David Keller (@DKellerCMT).
- With two trading days left this week, Homebuilders ($ITB) are on pace for their lowest weekly close since November 2023, as the group refuses to participate in the broader market's recovery.
- While the Magnificent 7 broke out from a Bull Flag yesterday, David notes that Homebuilders are breaking down from a Bear Flag, signaling continued pressure for Homebuilders and potentially the broader market.
- Homebuilders traditionally lead both the stock market and the economy. While other leadership groups, like Semiconductors, are breaking out, Homebuilders are screaming risk-off.
The Takeaway: Homebuilders ($ITB) continue to cast doubt on the broader market’s recovery, breaking down from a Bear Flag toward multi-year lows.
