Healthcare & Financials Stay Green – My Signals for Today

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to another quick morning update from Raleigh.

I'm just your average former programmer who loves messing around with technical indicators — things like MACD, RSI, Stochastic Momentum, Parabolic SAR, Ultimate Oscillator, Money Flow Index, Absolute Price Oscillator, Directional Movement Index, Simple Moving Averages, Time Series Forecast, and a bunch of others — trying to spot potential price trends before they happen. Nothing fancy, no Wall Street credentials here, just patterns and historical matches.

Every trading day I run my models across a big list of ETFs and get a simple "On the BUY Side" or "On the SELL Side" signal for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 trading days out. The higher the Training % Correct number, the more consistently that particular model has worked for that ETF and time period in the past.

Here's what jumped out at me from today's January 13, 2026 run:

Broad Market & Leveraged Stuff

• SPY (S&P 500) → Mostly positive — Buy signals on 10, 15, 20, and 25 days out.
• DIA (Dow) → Looking really strong — Buy on 10, 15, 20, and 30 days.
• QQQ (Nasdaq-100) → Mixed near-term (Sell on 5 & 15 days), but turns Buy from 20–30 days. Maybe tech takes a little breather first?
• TQQQ (3× QQQ) → Short-term Buy (5 & 10 days), but strong Sell warnings on 15–30 days. Leverage is flashing caution longer out.
• UPRO (3× SPY) → Very clean — Buy across 10 through 30 days.

Defensive & Income Plays

• BND (Total Bond) → Mostly Sell side on the longer horizons (15–30 days). Bonds not looking excited right now.
• XLP (Consumer Staples) → Short-term Sell, but flips to Buy at 30 days.
• XLRE (Real Estate) & XLU (Utilities) → Not many clear Buy signals — mostly neutral or Sell on shorter periods.

Sectors That Caught My Attention

• XLF (Financials) → Super consistent — Buy signals ALL the way from 5 days out to 30 days. Banks/financials seem to have the green light.
• XLI (Industrials) → Also solid — Buy on 5, 10, 20, 25, and 30 days.
• XLV (Healthcare) → One of the cleanest setups today. Buy signals across every timeframe — 5 days all the way to 30 days. Very steady!
• XBI (Biotech) → Looking lively — Buy on 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 days. Nice momentum building here.

Energy & Materials Quick Notes

• XLE (Energy) → Mostly neutral/mixed until the 30-day mark (Buy).
• XOP (Oil & Gas Exploration) → Still leaning Sell on several horizons.

A Few Quick Changes from the Past Few Days

Compared to January 8–10, we saw:

• XBI flipped from some Sell signals earlier in the week → now mostly Buy.
• TQQQ has been bouncing between short-term Buy and longer-term Sell — typical wild 3× behavior.
• SPY, DIA, XLF, and especially XLV have stayed pretty consistently positive on the medium-to-longer timeframes.

As always — these are just the outputs from my personal pattern-matching models. Not recommendations, not advice, definitely not guarantees. Markets can turn on a dime, and I always look at actual price charts, volume, news, and common sense alongside these numbers.

What are you watching this week?

Any ETFs or sectors you're excited (or nervous) about? Feel free to drop a comment — I love hearing what other people are seeing!

Until tomorrow morning — trade smart, stay curious, and take care of yourselves out there.
