The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- XLF closes above its 50-day average ($55.95), and the 50-day sits above the 200-day ($53.74): on both averages the chart reads as an uptrend.
- At $57.58, XLF is 1.7% below its 1-year high of $58.60, set on September 3, 2026, and 20.8% above its 1-year low of $47.67 (March 27, 2026).
- Over the past month XLF rose 7.7%, from $53.49 to $57.58.
- XLF trades at 16.4x its last twelve months of earnings; Yahoo Finance has no forward estimate for it.
- XLF's 30-day volatility, 13.3% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 0.8%.
What would change the read
- A close under the 50-day average, $55.95 (−2.8% from the last close), would turn the read to a pullback; under the 200-day, $53.74 (−6.7%), the longer rise is in question.
- A close above $58.60 (+1.8%) would be a new 1-year high; below $47.67 (−17.2%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for XLF, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
