​​​​The Situation

​

​The Material Sector ETF (XLB) started to outperform  ​​since 
​January 28 ​2016 compare to ​the Mighty SP500 ETF (SPY) and 
​the ​​20 DMA ​(Day Moving Average) ​​turned
​upward on February 4. 
​​​(See second chart below - Yellow line)...

​​But one ​crucial Technical factor is that we are testing the 
​200 DMA ​zone on that ratio (XLB over SPY). Last time we have
seen that was back in May 2015.​ ​​​(See second chart below - Green line)...

​​​We are on a relative ​basis near the Resistance Trendline. (See second chart below - Blue Trendline - Ellipse)...

We broke on the upside ​​on February 3 the 20 DMA ​​(Day Moving ​Average - ​yellow line) on the Material Sector ETF (XLB) then at 38.76 followed by the 50 DMA ​(red line)​ then ​at 41.16, a ​good technical ​sign​ ​indeed.​ ​​​ We are near the 200 DMA at 44.20 (green line); it will be the biggest test for Bulls since we broke that 200 DMA on June 26 2015.  ​(See first chart below - Green line - Ellipse)

​The Material Sector ETF (XLB) is still within an uptrend channel that started back on January 20 2016 with 41.19 as support and ​44.83 as resistance. (See first chart below - channel)
​
As we are near testing the 200 DMA on the Material Sector ETF (XLB), we are near breaking a Major Resistance Trendline from a Falling Wedge that started back since June 18 2015. (See first chart below - Red Trendlines - Ellipse).

We need to break on the upside the 200 DMA  and the Resistance Trendline for a real break out on the​​ Material Sector ETF (XLB).
