XLY shooting for 5 straight down days

Among major sector and industry ETFs, the XLY consumer discretionary fund has suffered the most consistent selling pressure. Its losses have been limited, but it's working on its 5th straight down day, the longest negative streak among major ETFs.

When the fund was trading above its 200-day average at the time, a 5-day losing streak wasn't much of a reason to buy. Over the next 2-4 weeks, it suffered further losses most of the time.

If the streak triggered in a week following an all-time high, returns were even worse.
