Financial Hazard

By -

I’d say the biggest risk for the two or three bears left on Earth right now is the financials, shown below in the form of XLF. Notice that horizontal I’ve emphasized at the 27.33 price level. We’ve got a clean IHS below it, and should we cross 27.33 to the upside, that sets up the pattern to pierce the descending trendline (yellow tint), at which point it would be like a 42-gallon drum of gasoline on the bullish fire.
