Healthcare Keeps Shining, Financials Still Strong – Today's Quick Signals

Hey folks!

Good morning from Raleigh on this chilly January 14, 2026.

As always, I'm just a former programmer/analyst having fun with a bunch of technical indicators (MACD, RSI, Stochastic Momentum, Parabolic SAR, Ultimate Oscillator, Money Flow Index, Directional Movement Index, Absolute Price Oscillator, Time Series Forecast, Simple Moving Averages, and more) to hunt for potential price trends. No professional advice here — these are purely my personal pattern-matching experiments.

Today's fresh run gives "On the BUY Side" or "On the SELL Side" calls for 5 to 30 trading days out. Higher Training % Correct means the model has historically been more reliable for that ETF/timeframe combo.

What stands out today:

Broad Market & Leveraged Plays

• SPY (S&P 500) → Solid medium-term strength — Buy on 10, 20, and 25 days.
• DIA (Dow) → Very bullish — Clean Buy signals on 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 days. Dow keeps looking confident.
• QQQ (Nasdaq-100) → Short-term quiet (no strong call on 5/10), but turns clearly Buy from 15–30 days. Tech building some steam longer out?
• TQQQ (3× QQQ) → Short-term Buy (10 days), but caution flags on 20 and 30 days with Sell calls. Leverage remains choppy.
• UPRO (3× SPY) → Still very positive — Buy signals across 10–25 days.

Defensive & Bond Space

• BND (Total Bond) → Mostly on the SELL Side for 15–30 days. Bonds continue to look soft in this environment.

Sectors Holding the Line

• XLF (Financials) → Super steady — Buy signals on 5, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days. Banks/financials remain one of the strongest groups.
• XLI (Industrials) → Consistent green — Buy on 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 days. Nice across-the-board support.
• XLV (Healthcare) → Still one of the cleanest setups! Buy signals on every single timeframe from 5 days all the way out to 30 days. Healthcare just keeps showing up reliably.
• XBI (Biotech) → Strong momentum — Buy on 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 days. Biotech continues to look lively.

Energy & Materials Snapshot

• XLE (Energy) → Mixed short/medium, but Buy calls appear on 5 and 30 days.
• XOP (Oil & Gas Exploration) → Leaning Sell on some horizons (5 & 20 days), but Buy on 10 days.

Quick Changes from Yesterday (Jan 13)

• Healthcare (XLV) and Financials (XLF) stayed rock-solid with widespread Buy signals — no real change there.
• DIA picked up an extra short-term Buy signal today.
• QQQ strengthened a bit on the shorter end (now Buy starting at 15 days instead of 20).
• BND remains firmly in Sell territory on longer horizons.
• Biotech (XBI) and leveraged plays like UPRO continue to hold positive vibes.

Remember: These are just my hobbyist model outputs — not buy/sell recommendations. Markets move fast, and I always cross-check with real charts, volume, news, and basic common sense.
