Chart AnalysisConsider XHB�� one-year daily performance chart below. This ETF has done a nice job of rebounding off its 200-day simple moving average (yellow line) over the past month, but weakening fundamentals are keeping a lid on bullish momentum here. Momentum traders have yet to fully return to XHB since the last pullback given last week�� discouraging data; June housing starts came in at 836,000, falling way short of the previous month�� reading of 928,000. Furthermore, looming fears of the Federal Reserve tapering bond-repurchases has caused additional concerns surrounding the homebuilders sector, which so far has enjoyed stellar returns thanks to the Fed�� very accommodative�policy over the past two years�.
