S&P 500 Financial Sector At Key Inflection Point

The S&P 500 Financial sector is down just over 12% from its recent intraday high last Friday.  And heading into next Monday, the sector is currently sitting at a key inflection point that should help identify which way the sector will trade over the next month or so.  As shown below, the Financial sector is currently sitting right on support that formed when the sector hit its highs in early April.  It's also sitting right at the bottom of the tight uptrend channel that it has been trading in since the March lows.  If the sector can hold its price and then trade higher on Monday, technicians will interpret this as a sign that the rally will resume.  If the sector breaks support and trades down, the uptrend will be broken and lower prices will most likely ensue.
