New Leaders Meet Resistance
Another group that has enjoyed the recent rally has been biotech. Biotechs have been among the strongest groups since stocks rebounded off their summer lows.
As you can see in the chart, IBB is now running into a significant resistance level as prices pull back at their year-to-date pivot highs. This 133 area also coincides with key prior-cycle highs from 2015. With so much price memory here, this is a logical level for some corrective action, and that’s exactly what’s taken place since last week. We’re seeing similar price behavior in other sectors and indexes. For the most part, it is constructive as stocks have earned a breather following the rally over the past few months.
