The Situation

The Consumer Staples Sector ETF (XLP), after testing the previous
Breakout Trendline on April 22 2016, rose strongly to reach a new
high ever as shown by the first chart below. (Ellipse - Top Right Corner)

We reached on March 11 the highest price ever on that ETF - 54.06
but on a weak volume technical set up... (See first chart below - Ellipses)

On February 22 2016, we had the 20 DMA (Day Moving Average -
Yellow line - 1rst chart below) crossed above the 50 DMA (Red Line -
1rst chart below): a good technical sign for the Consumer Staples Sector.

We broke on March 3 2016 a Major Resistance Trendline that started since January 22 2015 for the Consumer Staples Sector ETF (XLP). (See first chart below - Thick grey line)

Taking a look at a bigger picture (weekly chart) gives us a better view of that strong break out move in March 2016 for the XLP ETF. (See second chart below - Red Trendline - Ellipse). All that with a strong Volume in February and March 2016 which it make a stronger technical break out case. (See second chart below - Bottom Ellipse).

The Consumer Staples Sector ETF (XLP) started to outperform compare to the Mighty SP500 (SPY ETF) since April 22 2016 and did retest the 200 DMA (Day Moving Average) on that ratio and rebounded strongly.
(See third chart below - Red Line). As the XLP ETF is making new high price wise, it did not in that last phase yet reach new high on a relative basis. (See third chart below)

But the most interesting part is that each time we had on a Relative Basis (ratio of XLP over SP500 Index - SPY ETF) a strong outperformance of the Consumer Staples (based on a 10 Months Moving Average), then it was a Major Technical Sign that the Mighty SP500 was in a topping process as shown by the fourth chart below.
That is my Canary in the Coal Mine. (See fourth chart below - Red lines - Top Panel Ratio - Bottom Panel SP500 Index).
