O’Neil Consumer/Retail Weekly

Consumer Staples (XLP): The index continues to trade along its rising 21-DMA. It broke above $75.05 price level and is sitting 2%
below pivot. It is clearing the resistance at $76. A decisive break above $77.8 should be bullish for the sector. However, it continues to
lag the broader market, with the RS line remaining in a downtrend with weak technical ratings.
