After the weaker housing starts news earlier in the week, the homebuilders section has stalled at upside support.
The financial sector has broken through resistance right around the 15.25 area. Prices are pulling the shorter EMAs higher on decent volume and rising momentum. Considering that financials comprise one of the largest sectors of the SPYs, this is an important development.
