Overall, stocks took a break on Friday. Although the Dow closed higher, the other major indices failed to do so.
The rally is still intact, but short-term momentum diverged on Friday’s last market runup. Pullbacks are healthy, and one may have started at week’s end.

ETF Trade Watch
Communication Services Select Sector SPDR (XLC)
Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF)
It’s hard to tell how Communication Services will react to Friday’s decline moving forward, but the XLC is a great way to capitalize one way or the other.
Financials are on a run higher, and Friday seemed to end on a positive note. Traders might look to see if the XLF has anymore juice left in it.
Good luck!
