XLE - Bearish Inside Bar Pin Bar Fake Out

23 mar 2019

An inside bar / pin bar fake out pattern has formed on the XLE weekly chart. This pattern has formed just below a key resistance level as well as the 50% retracement of the last swing high/low, which is exactly the area we want to see this form. One negative with this setup is that price has formed a very sharp v-shaped reversal off it's lows. That doesn't mean that the pattern is untradable but it does mean any trades taken here need to be aggressively defended, and profit targets not be too aggressive.
