Here is the daily chart:
XLV: Healthcare
Below is the weekly chart. Price is in a bullish consolidation pattern. Couple of weeks ago, it retested the major resistance 75.96, the top of the consolidation pattern.
The major support is 72.33 which is the middle of the consolidation pattern. The resistance is 76.00. If this support holds and we go back to retest the major resistance, we can possible break it and start a bullish trend. If the support is broken, we will have a high probability to get to 69.32.
Here is the daily chart. Notice, price is stuck at a daily resistance now. If that holds, we are going back to the support of 72.33. If not, we will retest the high and possibly break it to start a trend.
XLU: Utilities
Below is the weekly chart. Price is in a bullish trend continuation pattern. November 2016, it went through a major pull back. Now, it is trying to retest the high.
The major support is 50.19 and major resistance is 52.78. However, a minor support has developed around 51.31. If this support holds, there is high probability to retest the high. If it doesn’t, there is high probability for price to reach the support and possible break it to enter a consolidation pattern.
Since the instrument has gone through a major pull back, the probabilities are low to break the last high but we have to monitor the lower time frame to look for confirmations.
Here is the daily time frame. The daily time frame looks bearish but has not followed through going down yet. It has a high probability of going through a major pull back to the cloud within this time frame.
XLY: Consumer Discretionary

The major resistance is 55.50 with a minor support at 53.87. As long as the minor support holds, there is high probability to break the high and the trend continue. If the support breaks then there is high probability we will enter a consolidation pattern.
Here is the daily time frame. The daily has a minor resistance level at 54.96 which is help pushing price to the support at 53.88. Since that support is in the daily cloud, there is not good for the bulls.
