$XLU weekly Elliott Wave view – May 28, 2024
In May 2023, we explained that $XLU has bounced from the Blue Box area. As a result, the ETF has moved higher, allowing long positions to become risk-free. We expect $XLU to continue its rally towards the $74.00 – $79.00 range in a 5-wave pattern. This rally is favored to happen before another pullback occurs.
