Chart of the Day
π Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Jamie Saettele (@JamieSaettele).
- Biotech just posted its best week since last summer, with the equally-weighted SPDR Biotech ETF ($XBI) gaining +6.4%.
- While $XBI remains in a -50% drawdown from its 2021 peak, Jamie points out that it successfully cleared resistance at $83 today, marking the intersection of a 7-month downtrend line and the year-to-date AVWAP.
- Biotech could 'make Small Caps great again,' considering itβs the second-largest industry group in the Russell 2000, accounting for more than 20% of the index.
The Takeaway: Biotech just had its best week since last summer, with $XBI breaking through a cluster of resistance at $83 today. Continued strength would be a bullish sign for the Russell 2000 and risk appetite in general.
