With a 10+ percent advance the last 11-12 weeks, the Energy SPDR (XLE) is trading near the upper trendline of a broadening formation. The swing within this formation is up as XLE remains above the green trendline and Williams %R remains in overbought territory. A trendline break and move below -20 in %R would provide the first signs of a pullback.
