Consumer Discretionary and Consumer Staples ETF’s have been white hot over the past 5 years. The table below reflects that Staples (XLP) has gained over twice and Discretionary (XLY) three times as much as the S&P 500 over the past 5 years. No doubt these two have had a very positive influence in pulling the S&P 500 up over 100% since the 2009 lows!

Should an investor “Respect” that the resistance at (1) and that “Eiffel Tower Patterns” could well impact the future prices of these leading white hot ETF”s? YES!!!
