$XLF: The Power of the Blue Raindrop

In this weekend’s before and after, we take a look at a very cool “Before, Middle, and After”. In this image, you can see a blue raindrop form on the falling wedge support with a strong breakout afterward. Once the move has been made, a blue Raindrop (TM) then forms right at the 23.6% Fib level which triggers the sensitivity alert that was on this area. A pullback then takes place to the 38.2% level below.
