At The Edge of Trend

We’re looking at biotech XBI, from the perspective of the 3X Leveraged Inverse Fund, LABD.

During the past four trading days, there have been three contact (verification) points on the right-most trendline.

Note that five trading days ago, LABD had its highest volume day, ever.

Trade Note:

The XBI-26-17 (short) was exited at about break-even, then re-positioned via LABD, as LABD-26-18 (not advice, not a recommendation).

Biotech’s Bearish Condition

October 4, 2026 By in $SPSIBI, BBIO, SPBIO, Speck-Effect, The Speck, XBI, XBI-26-17

Technical First

Depending on price action, the next several updates on XBI, will discuss the technical condition.

Then, we’ll get into behind-the-scenes or ‘fundamentals’.

With that said, we’ll start with the big picture, long timeframe; Fibonacci 8-Day

Biotech XBI, 8-Day

Price action has made it all the way back to 2021 manic highs, and stalled.

A potential double top.

Not present back in 2021, was the bearish (divergent) momentum condition highlighted by MACD histogram.

So, we have a potential double top, a terminating wedge and bearish MACD.

S&P … Almost ‘There’

October 3, 2026 By in $SPSIBI, AZO, Biotech, BKNG, DUOL, HD, KMX, LOW, S&P, S&P 500, Semiconductors, SPBIO, Speck-Effect, SPY, The Speck, XBI, XBI-26-17

‘There’, is a new All-Time High

Two weeks ago, was this update showing the (net) upward progress of the S&P was slowing (not advice, not a recommendation).

Then, two days later was this, presenting how the index might make it to another high.

Now, the SPY chart is mimicking the longer timeframe by having successive shorter thrusts (magenta arrows).

At this point it’s a toss-up but does it really matter?

Meaning, if the downside is being worked (shorted), large numbers of tickers are already in essentially free-fall: AZO, BKNG, DUOL, HD, KMX, LOW; way below their all-time highs (not advice, not a recommendation).

Note: All have been covered at some point, on this site.

One sector that’s not cracked (yet) but seems to be building up immense pressure, is biotech.

Barring any unforeseen event, XBI is covered next.
