Markets / ETF / XLC
Price is 4.7% below its 200-day simple average ($112.75) and 3.5% below its 200-day exponential average ($111.33). Volatility is typical, extension is typical, and daily moves are moderately tied to SPY.
Bar: distance from SMA 200. Ring: −3.5% from EMA 200.
The bullish rule requires price strictly above both the 200-day simple and exponential averages. This describes position, not an investment recommendation.
16.5% annualised, one-year average 15.7%. Trend: stable.
Realized volatility uses 21 daily returns and the equity convention of 252 days. The percentile depends on available history. Low volatility does not mean an investment is safe.
Measured against 756 valid distances. A stretched reading does not establish that price will reverse.
Absolute percentage distance from SMA 200 is divided by the rolling standard deviation of those distances over 756 observations, requiring 378 valid distances. Zero or undefined deviation is unavailable.
Different regime from SPY. With 10-year yields: -0.29. With gold: 0.14.
Pearson correlation ranges from −1 to +1; strength uses its absolute magnitude, while the sign gives direction. 251 paired returns were used; at least 30 are needed. Co-movement can change and does not establish causation.
XLC follows the bearish trend rule, with price 4.7% below its 200-day simple average. Recent volatility is typical relative to its available history. Absolute extension is 0.8 times the historical deviation of its distance from the average. Return correlation with SPY is 0.54.
The four measurements describe prices. They do not measure business quality or determine fair value. Source reporting dates can differ from the price date.
Reported trailing P/E: 15.9x. Reported assets: 22,528,514,048 USD.
Completed bearish phases had a median duration of 3 observations. The ongoing phase is excluded.

The observed curve is normal: long-term rates exceed short-term rates. The 10-year yield is 4.95%.
Volume is 2% below its 30-day average; the recent volume trend is increasing.
Implied volatility is 119% above realized volatility. This comparison alone does not establish whether an option is cheap or expensive.
Price is 0.8 times the historical standard deviation of its distance from the 200-day average below that average. This measures extension; it does not establish the likelihood of a reversal.
Daily returns show moderate correlation with SPY over the latest shared year of observations (r = 0.54). The sign describes movement in the same direction. Correlation does not establish causation or measure portfolio diversification on its own.
