Overall Market Insights

The latest technical analysis for February 11, 2026, reveals a mixed but predominantly bullish outlook across various ETFs, particularly in longer time horizons. Using key indicators such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), Relative Strength Index (RSI), and Simple Moving Average (SMA) crossovers, we observe strengthening buy signals in sectors like industrials, materials, and small caps. Short-term signals show some caution with sells in bonds and select sectors, potentially due to recent volatility captured by the Absolute Price Oscillator (APO) and Money Flow Index (MFI). Compared to the previous data from February 10 and February 7, there's a noticeable shift towards more buy consensus in mid-to-long terms, suggesting improving momentum as indicated by the Directional Movement Index (DMI) and Stochastic Momentum Indicator. For instance, DIA maintains consistent buys across horizons, while XRT shows strengthening retail signals.

Highlights of Bullish/Bearish Signals

  • Bullish Highlights: Strong BUY signals in IWM (25 days), KBE (15 days), URTY (25 days), XLB (10 days), and XRT (25 days), driven by positive MACD crossovers and RSI above 50, indicating potential upward trends in small caps, banking, and retail.
  • Bearish Highlights: Strong SELL in XLK (30 days), possibly due to overbought conditions per the Ultimate Oscillator and Parabolic SAR signaling reversals in technology.
  • Comparisons to Prior Data: From February 10, signals like SPY's BUY at 30 days have softened, but overall buy strength has increased in energy and materials, aligning with Time Series Forecast improvements.
