Industrials [[XLI]]: Bullish. Reversal to a Bullish PnF chart pattern still intact.  A move to 42 would initiate a spread triple top breakout. 

Materials [[XLB]]: Bullish. Double top breakout still intact. Has broken out to new highs after long period of consolidation from 39 – 42. Strong support at 41. A drop below 43 confirms a reversal of the current bullish trend.
