Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) -- A Sign of the Times?

Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) -- This index of the financial components in the S&P 500 (SPX) includes an array of diversified financial stocks, from investment management to commercial and investment banking. Since May 31, the index has tumbled by more than 25% and now appears to be trying to establish a bottom with the stochastic arching up.






But the Nov. 26 low at $28.10 must hold or it will add a new leg to an already-steep decline. If that were to occur, it is doubtful that the S&P 500 lows made in August and November at 1,407 could hold, either.
