While the markets were mixed on Friday, the jobs numbers definitely put wind in the sails of the bank stocks. Financial stocks had been beat up a little on fears of the economy weakening with inflation and resurgence of talks of lock downs. XLF, a financial stock ETF flashed a powerful signal on Friday that could signal a bigger breakout.

Take a look at the chart below.

XLF leaped above it’s previous range by a healthy stretch. This kind of momentum could push it past it’s previous high and keep it climbing up. ETFs are a great way to trade a move in a sector or other group of stocks with less risk than just grabbing a single stock that could perform adversely to the sector. We also covered another potential mistake people can make trading ETFs just the other day. Check out the clip here.
