Falling Wedge · playing out now

XLU just broke higher out of a falling wedge — a brief, tidy pause inside a strong run. That's usually a breather before another push up.

On this chart, setups like it have followed through about 67% of the time.

As long as price stays above $43.07, the setup is intact — a daily close back below there is the cue to step away.

A natural first target sits near $47.13 — but moves like this often run further. The simple way to follow the rest is to stay with the 10-day average, and only step aside when a day closes below it.

XLU Support and Resistance Levels

Price is bouncing off a floor near $43.22 and starting to climb. On the weekly chart, the next ceiling overhead sits near $50.33 — about 14% away.

Traders commonly watch $50.33 as a target (its 200% extension) — think of it as a sensible next stop, not a guarantee.
That ceiling is the first place the climb might pause — worth watching how price behaves as it gets there.
There's nothing to act on here — the spot to watch was the $43.22 floor just now, when price bounced there, but price has already pulled higher. What's left is the climb playing out, not a fresh starting point.

Nearest auto-detected support sits near $43.15, resistance near $44.47. These are chart/swing-derived levels, not formula pivots.
