Looks like it's picked up steam to the downside. You will likely Need to cover in my humble opinion but I still don't like trading VDE over XLE. I am actually looking to find a spot to potentially short XLE at this stage. Anyway, good luck. I have no skin in the game at this point but will be looking to see what price does when and if XLE recovers to the $72 area.
Decent weekly close but certainly not total reversal. I'll monitor closely next week. I am staying with it right now due to recent correlation between this and SP.
Well, I will take the other side of this trade. SHORT XLE at $69.84. As mentioned before XLE and VDE are virtually the same except for much higher traded volume in XLE.
